Can't see server after 12/21/23 update

When I type in part of the server name, I can see at the top left corner 0/1 but the server itself is not visible in the list, nor am I getting the 'no sessions found' message. There is also no Favorites tab. I played earlier today, got off, updated about half an hour ago, and now I'm not finding my server. Is anyone else having this issue?

Have a look at your check boxes on the server browser. My client had automatically selected the "PC-Only Online Multiplayer" checkbox when I updated it which filtered out my server. If you updated 30 mins ago as you say, your server should be on version 33.11 which is latest.

That was a good suggestion I hadn't considered, but unfortunately I'm having the same issue when I search for the server after checking & unchecking that box and making sure the others were as they should be. I really appreciate you responding to me though. I will check with the owner to make sure the server itself is on the latest version.

Its a bit late, but i know that problem quite well, had it several times now in ASA, its when your game is already updated, but the servers aren't, then you can't see them until they updated themselves ... in worst case after regular server downs you will see them again

Same issue. I have updated both the server and game. Server is still not showing up in session list.

Can not see it make sure the Player Server box is checked far bottom righ on browser. Could be the server you like is not updated to new version. This would not be a game issues unless it is official.

Sounds like some official servers are also having issues.

There is a new option to "show player servers" on the bottom right and it has to be checked every time you load the game. The powers that be are trying to force people to pay for server hosting and they are making it super hard for player servers to be seen.

This is because you and over 200 people in my community didn't pay close enough attention to a new stealth-added checkbox to the bottom right that says "Show Player Hosted Servers". If the server IS NOT hosted by Nitrado, it will not display on the list until you check this box.

This is by design and it's an Antitrust violation.

If you were perhaps playing on one of my servers, well, you can see from that post that those servers are no longer online and because I highly doubt SWC is likely to change this until they get notice of a class action I've started or a collective letter from state AG's (which I'm also not holding my breath over), I would say those servers will be offline a while.

Actually it was a friends nitrado server. After the update today I was able to finally find it
