First, wait a few minutes—Survival Ascended servers can take longer to register with Steam and the in-game browser. Also, confirm that your SessionName isn’t too long or filled with special characters. Make sure you’ve set the server to public (not LAN-only) and that your filters in the in-game browser (e.g., map selection, PvE/PvP) match the server’s settings. If you just made major changes or updated the server, a full restart through the TCAdmin panel may be necessary.
