Troubleshooting

I Can't Add My Server To In-Game Favorites

Double-check that you've entered all of the information correctly. Remember your Port must be separated from the IP/Domain field, following this example:

• IP/Domain: ServerIP (ex. 111.111.111.111)
• Port: YourPort (ex. 16261)

Here are the required fields, ensure that they all have information entered:

• Server name
