Solution to the "No Lobbies or Servers" bug when trying to find a public lobby

Every time I launched Webfishing, I’d only see one or two lobbies in the server browser, no matter what I tried: full reinstalls, disabling all mods, turning off my VPN—you name it. I scoured the internet and found a few others with the same issue, but no one had a solid solution or even a clear idea of what was going on.

Eventually, I stumbled across a Steam discussion where user Dragon™ pointed out the root of the problem: your PC’s date and time settings.

Yep—that’s what was causing it. An incorrect system time was somehow blocking most servers from showing up. Here's how I fixed it on Windows 11:

Settings > Time & Language > Change "Set Time Automatically" to "off" > navigate to "Set Date and Time Manually" and select "Change" > In the "Change Date and Time" window, just select "Change" again even if the time is incorrect > Navigate back to "Set Time Automatically" and now set it to "ON".

As soon as I did this, my PC synced to the correct time—and when I launched Webfishing again, dozens of servers appeared. Absolute game-changer.

Shoutout to the internet and random forum heroes. Wild how something so small can cause such a big issue.
