Why can’t I see my Banana Shooter server in the server list?

Check that the server is running (logs\server.log), that a GSLT is set up, and that the ports are open in the Windows Firewall and your VPS’s Network Firewall.

Possible issues and solutions

Server is not visible or reachable

Server is not running: Use Remote Desktop to check whether the server is running, and start it if needed using the Banana Shooter (banana-shooter) - Start shortcut. Check C:\ZapX-GameServers\banana-shooter\logs\server.log for error details.
Ports are not open: The ports must be open in the Windows Firewall and in your VPS’s Network Firewall. For information on which ports Banana Shooter needs, see Banana Shooter: Set up a server on your VPS.
Incorrect filters: Check whether a filter in the server browser is hiding your server. Your server also needs a GSLT to be listed publicly. Find out more in Banana Shooter: Create a GSLT (Steam Game Server Login Token).
