A RAGE:MP server only appears in the launcher’s server list (the masterlist) when "announce": true is set in conf.json. Your FREAKHOSTING server starts with "announce": false, so it is hidden until you change it. Open Files, edit conf.json, set "announce": true, save and restart. You can always join without the list through Direct Connect with your address, for example 203.0.113.10:22005.

​
How to get your server into the list

1

Turn on announce

Click Files, open conf.json and set "announce": true. Click Save Content.
2

Check the name

Give the server a clear name so players can find it, with tags in brackets, for example "My Server [RP]".
3

Restart

Restart the server and watch the console until it has started without errors.
4

Search the Servers tab

In the RAGE Multiplayer launcher, open Servers and search for your name. If it isn’t there yet, refresh the list again shortly.

​
Other reasons a server is missing

  • The server is offline or crashed. A script error can stop it during start-up. Read the console, fix the error and start again.
  • bind was changed. Keep "bind": "0.0.0.0". Another value can stop players and the masterlist from reaching the server.
  • conf.json is not valid JSON. A missing comma stops the server reading your settings. Check the console and use the file’s History to restore a working version.
  • Your search is too narrow. Search for one distinctive word from the name.

​
How to join without the list

In the launcher, open Direct Connect and enter your server address with the game port, for example 203.0.113.10:22005. This works whether or not announce is on, which is useful for private or test servers.

​
Frequently asked questions

​
What ports does a RAGE:MP server need?

The game port, 22005 by default (UDP and TCP), and the next port, 22006, for the HTTP server that sends client packages. Both are set up on your server already.

​
Can I hide my server from the list?

Yes. Set "announce": false. Players then need your address to join with Direct Connect.

​
Why do players see my server but can’t load in?

That is usually a client package download problem on port 22006. See client packages not downloading.
