The Front Server Not Showing in the List

If your server runs but does not appear in the browser, the query port or IP binding is usually wrong. The Front uses multiple ports, so one missing forward can hide the server.

Quick Checks

Check Why It Fails Fix
Query Port reachable Browser query blocked Open base port plus QueryPort (base + 2)
OutIPAddress set Server advertises the wrong IP Set -OutIPAddress to your public IP
Config file loads ServerConfig_.ini is ignored Ensure TheFrontManager/ServerConfig_.ini exists

Step-by-Step Fix

  1. Confirm port range. If your base is 7777, open 7777-7780 (Game, Beacon, Query, Shutdown).
  2. Verify launch flags. Use -ServerName and -OutIPAddress as shown in Connection Failed Fix.
  3. Check TheFrontManager folder. Create TheFrontManager/ServerConfig_.ini or the config will not load.
  4. Restart after changes. The Front does not hot-reload config.

Example Launch

TheFrontServer.exe ProjectWar ProjectWar_Start ?Listen?MaxPlayers=8 -ServerName="My Front Server" -OutIPAddress=YOUR_PUBLIC_IP -port=7777 -BeaconPort=7778 -QueryPort=7779 -ShutDownServicePort=7780 -log

Note: If the server is visible locally but not to remote players, NAT or firewall rules are blocking the query port.

Keep your warzones visible. Host your The Front server with Supercraft for managed ports and automatic updates.
