Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)



I cannot find my server in the steam browser!

Check the password you set, it should be 6 characters at least, e.g. 123456. If you have less than 6, the server will not start correctly. Also make sure you are using the QUERY port and not the game port when using steam, if in-game via the join IP option, use the game port.
