Satisfactory allows players to select a world before diving in to experience everything that the game has to offer. One can encounter various creatures, farm resources, craft new tools, and construct buildings to create the factory of their dreams. They can then save their data so that it can be loaded up at a later time.

However, a lot of players are running into the Encryption Token Missing error when trying to load up their world. This issue possibly occurs when the game tries to establish a strong connection so that players can enter a server. Some even believe the issue is showing up for a specific region, as not everyone is facing it.

While this server issue players keep running into might seem too technical, it's fairly easy to solve by yourself. However, this is just a temporary fix, and the issue might show up again down the line. Follow the steps carefully as these cover the settings you need to alter for the game to function normally:

1) Switch the following port settings on your router to UDP + TCP:

• UDP + TCP for port 7777 (game port)
• UDP + TCP for port 15000 (beacon port)
• UDP + TCP for port 15777 (query port)

2) The game also features a "Server Manager" in its menu which can be used to solve the issue.

Conclusion

Once players have switched all three port settings to UDP + TCP, connecting to the servers won't be an issue anymore. While players wait for an official fix from the developer's side, they can try this method and continue playing without running into server issues.
