Connect & play

Join the Cluster

Search by the live server name first. If the browser is slow, use direct connect with the game port.

Join flow

Find the right listing.

ASA can hide perfectly healthy servers behind the wrong browser filters. Use these steps before assuming the server is down.

Set filters

Open Join Game and use Unofficial > Player Servers. If crossplay is enabled, avoid platform-only filters such as PC-only or console-only.

Search names

Search part of the exact live server name, not just the website name. Use the list below if this is a cluster.

Password filter

Leave password-protected filters off unless an admin says the server has a password.

Search the name

In the ASA server browser, switch to Unofficial > Player Servers and search The Island — PvE.

Server browser search

Search these live names in ASA. If a map is passworded, enable the password-protected checkbox before refreshing.

If joining fails after selection, make sure your BattlEye launch setting matches the server.
Confirm mods are installed and up to date before joining.
Daily restart windows are announced before downtime.
Maintenance is announced in advance when possible. Most restarts take 5-10 minutes.
