A running server nobody can join is almost always a build mismatch or the wrong role’s password. The checklist: patch notes, group passwords, UDP 15636/15637, IPv4 only, exact name, HostOnline in the log, free slots.
A running server that nobody can find: check the build mismatch and the wrong-case world name first. The checklist: version in the log vs the game, exact-name search, restart after a patch, INI reset, and the Steam-invite known issue.
Why the 1.0 update broke modded servers, the five-minute vanilla boot that gets your world back, and how to reintroduce mods without repeating the outage on the next patch.
The new biome only generates where nobody has explored. How to check your map, what to do when the north is already mapped, and how a dedicated server fits the Deep North push.
BeamMP's Keymaster and backend are down for maintenance, so servers are dropping off the public list and consoles are filling with heartbeat warnings. Your server is still running — here's how players join today, the one setting that unsticks a public server, and what not to touch.
The server runs fine, but every player gets rejected — because a Workshop mod updated and the server hasn't caught up. Why B42 servers drift out of date, the clean-restart fix, and how to move the breakage to 4am.
B42 lag comes in three flavours with three different fixes. Tell GC stutter from simulation load from one player’s bad Wi-Fi, then apply the right one — including the animal-population dial B41 admins don’t know about.
The most common Build 42 server problem: mods that won't load. B41-only mods, semicolon syntax, Workshop download stalls, load order and client mismatches — diagnosed in order of likelihood, with a working end-to-end example.
