Server Not Showing in the Browser

Why your server isn't appearing when players search for sessions.

Issue

Players can't find your server when browsing for sessions in the convoy screen, even though it's running.

Solution

This is usually one of two things:

No query port allocation. Your server's Query Port needs its own allocation to be reachable from outside your service, see our getting started guide for how to set one up. Without it, your server can still be joined directly by search ID, it just won't show up in the browse list.

No Steam Auth Token set. Without one, your server logs in anonymously and gets a new search ID every time it restarts, which can make it appear to "disappear" after a restart. Add a Steam Auth Token to keep the same ID.

If neither applies, double check the search ID shown in your console on startup and search for it directly instead of browsing.
