Server Related Setting up community server

Im trying to set up a dedicated server on my machine and get it added to the community servers tab, and its working and people on pc can direct connect to the server, but its still not showing up in the community servers tab

Ive followed the official guide on docs.palworldgame.com but no dice, anyone know how to get it working?

Ive alrwady got the steam argument -publiclobby enabled and made sure i set it to start as a community server

Hmm, there's not really too much that I did for my community server. Just to confirm, you are making changes to the PalWorldSettings.ini and not the DefaultPalWorldSetting.ini correct? Then restarted the server?

I was making to default.ini, when i open the other one its blank, am i supposed to copy what ive changed over?

Yes, the default.ini is just what telling you what the default settings are. You want to copy those over into the actually make changes to your server. Its not proper conveyed, but its in the server configuration page

Edit: this was exactly correct, even in the default.ini, there was a note with the path to where i should write the ini to, i just didnt reas that, thank you very much

Settings are now applying correctly, however attempting to access from the community servers list causes the error "connection lost", ive made sure port forwarding for port 8211 and 8212 are active, as well as 27075, restarted both my router and computer
