Console Stuck on Receiving and Loading Config
Tags: console, crossplay, joining, troubleshooting
Console players stuck on Receiving and Loading Config usually hit crossplay or authentication issues. Use this checklist to restore join access.
Server-side checks
- Set
ServerVisibility to 2 (public).
- Set
ServerAllowCrossplay to true, and only on a vanilla server. The property is ServerAllowCrossplay; there is no CrossplayEnabled.
- Leave
IgnoreEOSSanctions at false and keep ServerMaxPlayerCount at 8 or lower, or the server will not appear to console players at all.
- Keep
EACEnabled on for crossplay servers.
- Confirm the server is fully loaded before players join.
Network and EOS
- Open ports 26900-26905 UDP/TCP for crossplay.
- Check logs for "Eos Registration Failed" and fix before retrying.
- Restart the server after port or config changes.
Console-side steps
- Restart the console and clear any quick resume state.
- Verify the console build matches the server build.
- Retry from the server browser and direct connect if available.
