Match Game Versions

“Incompatible version” and “unexpected data received” errors mean the client and server run different builds or modpacks. Update both sides or roll back to the matching branch.

Reset the Network Path

  • Use the panel to restart the network interface (or contact support to reset from the host side).
  • Open the console log to confirm the server is actually listening on the advertised port.

Console Browser Issues

Xbox/PlayStation players must search for the exact server name and matching region. If the server is in Central America but they filter Europe, it won’t appear.

Mod-Related Kicks

  • Ensure every mod folder uploaded to the server is also installed client-side for overhauls.
  • Check the Mods panel for hidden “oops something went wrong” errors; if uploads fail, push the files via FTP.
