Server not appearing on Server list

[meminpanda]

Currently having an issue after starting the server as it doesnt appear on the server list, already opened ports and firewall resolved just like all the other servers i host on that pc (valheim, vrising, minecraft, raft, etc) this is the only game i just cant get in the server list nor adding it directly trough steam server list, already tried different ports on both query port and game port to no avail, any ideas?

Nope, never got the fix, we ended up just one player hosting it in-game :/ tried a lot of fixes and nothing

I know it's not a fix, but if you can justify swinging it, It's only $6.50/month for GPORTAL's dedicated server for it. Runs flawlessly and even let me upload my locally hosted game's world and player data to continue right where we left off.

Huh. I managed to get a dedicated server up and running this past Sunday without trouble, not very helpful to hear I know but hopefully it's just some minor thing. I know you've probably tried all of these things already but on the off chance you haven't maybe one of these is the reason.

I noticed that when searching for my server (called The Server Name) if I use The Server Name in the search bar my server is filtered out. It doesn't appear in the list. if I use Server Name in the search filter it DOES show up. Dropping the The seems to work for searches.

The server name needs to be in the batch script in quotes. Don't remove them there. But do make sure the password has no quotes around it unless, I think, you want it to have quotes.

I am not running the dedicated server through steam - I am running it from the RunServer.bat script the wiki guided me to create/use. I couldn't get the server to appear in the list by running it out of steam (clicking on it's name in my library/tools).

It sounds like you've done this many times before but just in case - are there any errors in the log file the script produces, and you are keeping the RunServer.bat running? It should be displaying errors or issues (I think) therein. Or the window it produces/shows may indicate issues/errors there too.

Going off of the Linux server directions...

AbioticFactorServer-Win64-Shipping.exe -log -newconsole -useperfthreads -NoAsyncLoadingThread -MaxServerPlayers=6 -PORT=7777 -QUERYPORT=27015 -tcp -ServerPassword=yourpassword -SteamServerName="Do Spaces Work?" -WorldSaveName="Cascade"

This has standard command line parsing semantics. It'll be parsed by cmd.exe on Windows and most likely bash on Linux. In this case quoting the arguments serves to ensure they will not see tokenization and will pass to the program's argv stack with any included spaces.

The program will see this similarly to...

AbioticFactorServer-Win64-Shipping.exe
-log
-newconsole
-useperfthreads
-NoAsyncLoadingThread
-MaxServerPlayers=6
-PORT=7777
-QUERYPORT=27015
-tcp
-ServerPassword=yourpassword
-SteamServerName=Do Spaces Work?
-WorldSaveName=Cascade

Please note, "Do Spaces Work?" might not be a valid server name.
