# Mordhau Server Not Showing in the Server Browser? How to Fix It

> Mordhau server not showing in the server browser? Wait for the ready line in the console, search your exact Server Name, or join with open IP:port instead.

If your Mordhau server is not showing in the server browser, first check the Game Panel console for `Session GameSession successfully created`, which means the server is ready. Then search for your exact **Server Name** from **Startup** and clear any filters in the server browser. You can always join directly: press `~` in game and type `open 203.0.113.10:7787` with the address from the panel.

| Difficulty | Time | Works on | Panel page |
| - | - | - | - |
| Beginner | 5 minutes | Every FREAKHOSTING Mordhau server | **Console**, **Startup** |

## How to fix a Mordhau server that isn't listed

**1. Check that the server is ready**

Open the [console](https://help.freakhosting.com/portals/game-panel/how-to-use-the-server-console.md). A ready server shows lines like `IpNetDriver listening on port`, `Match State Changed from EnteringMap to WaitingToStart` and, about 20 seconds after the start, `Session GameSession successfully created`. Wait for the last line before you look for the server.

**2. Let a first start finish**

The first start downloads and installs about 6 GB and creates the config files. Let it finish, then stop and start the server once more so your **Server Name** and passwords are applied.

**3. Search for the right name**

Search for the name in **Server Name** on **Startup**. If you changed the name in `Game.ini`, the panel replaced it at the next start; change it on **Startup** and restart.

**4. Check your filters**

If you use filters in Mordhau's server browser, clear them and search again.

**5. Join directly**

Copy the address from the panel header or **Overview**. In Mordhau, press `~` and type `open` followed by the address, for example `open 203.0.113.10:7787`.

## Why can players see my server but not join?

| Cause | Fix |
| - | - |
| Game version differs | Keep **Auto Update** on and restart the server after a Mordhau update. Players also need the latest game version. |
| Server is full | **Max Players** is your plan's slots. For more, [open a ticket](https://freakhosting.com/clientarea/submitticket.php). |
| Wrong password | Check **Server Password** on **Startup**. See [set a password](https://help.freakhosting.com/games/mordhau/setting-a-password-for-your-mordhau-server.md). |
| A mod fails to load | Remove the last `Mods=` line you added. See [install mods](https://help.freakhosting.com/games/mordhau/installing-mods-modio.md). |
| Your own firewall rule blocks a port | Check your [DDoS filters](https://help.freakhosting.com/portals/firewall/how-to-apply-ddos-filters.md). |

## Frequently asked questions

### Which address do players use to join?

The game address shown in the panel header and on **Overview**, made of your IP and game port, for example `203.0.113.10:7787`. The **Query Port** and **Beacon Port** on **Startup** are used by the server itself; players don't type them.

### How long does it take for my server to appear?

Usually soon after `Session GameSession successfully created` shows in the console, about 20 seconds after the start once the server is installed. If it still doesn't show after a few minutes, join directly with `open`.

### My server worked yesterday. Why is it missing today?

Check that it is running and that the console shows the ready line. After a Mordhau update, restart the server so **Auto Update** installs the new version. See [server not starting](https://help.freakhosting.com/games/mordhau/mordhau-server-not-starting.md) if it doesn't come back.
