Intro
Your FiveM server starts… but nobody can find it in the server list? It's almost always one of these.
The license key
One: the license key. Every server needs its own free key from the cfx.re portal, set in server.cfg as sv_licenseKey. A key that's expired, reused on another server, or made for a different IP stops the server from listing.
The ports
Two: the ports. Port 30120 must be open on both TCP and UDP. With only one of them open, listing and connecting both break.
Two settings
Three: two settings. sv_master1, set to an empty value, hides the server on purpose — remove it. And make sure sv_hostname is set.
The console
Four: watch the console after a restart. You want the line that says the license key authentication succeeded. If the server crashes while loading resources, or the server artifact is very old, it never registers with the list.
Join directly
Meanwhile, players can still join directly: press F8, and type connect, your server's IP:30120.
Recap
Or let us run it: on our FiveM hosting, the ports are open, txAdmin is ready, and DDoS protection is included. esagames.ro.
