Please read the following warnings to make sure cross play works correctly for you.

WARNING:  Cross play servers do not support steam workshop mods. If you already have them installed, you will need to remove them from your server's sandbox_config.sbc file or generate a new world.

WARNING:  Cross play servers only support a maximum of 3 planets. If your max planet value is currently higher than 3, change it to 3 or lower in the SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg config file.

WARNING: You MUST connect to the server via the server list, not the direct connection method.

WARNING: Cross play servers do not query via Steam's server browser - to check if your server is running and connectable, view the latest server log and look for "Game ready... Press Ctrl+C to exit"

WARNING: Cross play servers do not currently support Torch, you will need to uninstall Torch in order for your server to work with cross play functionality.

WARNING: Cross play servers appear in a different category on the in-game server list, make sure you select the "EOS" category in the server browser as shown in the below screenshot.
