How to Enable Crossplay and Compatibility for PlayStation and Xbox on Your Space Engineers Server

In this article, we’ll walk you through the steps to enable compatibility mode and crossplay for your server; in short, the server configuration has to enable cross-platform,
Steps to Enable Crossplay
- Go to Basic Settings: Start by logging into your server control panel and navigate to the Basic Settings section.
- Find Cross Platform and Enable It: Look for the option labeled 'Cross Platform' and toggle it to enable.
- Find Compatibility Mode and Enable It: Next, search for 'Compatibility Mode' and make sure to enable this option as well. If it's not enabled, Xbox and Playstation players can't join.
- Find Network Type and Select EOS: Now, locate the 'Network Type' setting and select 'EOS' (Epic Online Services) from the dropdown menu.
- Restart Your Server: Finally, restart your server to apply all the changes you have made.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
While you’re setting up your server, you may encounter some issues. Here are some common problems and their solutions:
- Server is not working due to scenario being too big: Ensure that your world size is not too large. Consoles typically require smaller worlds to operate properly.
- Pingquery says: All PingQueries Failed for ports: This message can appear as console servers may not be able to ping the query port for EOS, this doesn't always mean it's not working. However, check if you can join your server. Look at the logs for any errors or if the server is autosaving and sending packets.
- Not running: Scenario is only compatible with PC: Some scenarios available on the Steam Workshop may not work on consoles. Verify that your chosen scenario is compatible with console gameplay.
- Server fails and stops: Sometimes, it's better to create a new world if you're certain that the scenario chosen is compatible with consoles.
