Server not showing for those that don't have mod installed?
Recently I've been told by a few members that when trying to get their friends to join our server that they couldn't find it until this mod had been installed.
I knew it wasn't showing up recently for existing players if the mod was updated but I wasn't aware new players were also being effected.
Essentially this means that a new player searhcing for a server to play on wont even know ours exists unless they have downloaded this mod.
I haven't noticed this happening with any other mods, is there a way to fix it?
By far our servers favourite mod but we can't have it making our server invisible

When theres a mod version mismatch the server wont show for players, theyll need to be running the same version. Is it possible they have unsubbed and have an older version of the mod still installed?

The player that tried to join had never used this mod before. Also up till about a week or so ago we were getting regular new players joining (5-6 per day) and now we rarely see any new players at all.
Sorry that I can't be more specific on dates, we only noticed this problem very recently

The only other time ive experienced this is when the server is out of date, are you sure its running the latest version of the mod?

We know when the server isn't running the most up to date mod because we all can't see it.
It's how we knew the instant the last update came out - people were messaging me like crazy asking why the server was down.
I'll see if I can get a few more people to test it
