Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about game server query protocols.

Why does my server show offline even though I can connect in-game?

Games like Rust, Valheim, ARK, and Project Zomboid use separate UDP ports for game traffic and server browser queries. Furthermore, query responses might be disabled by default (e.g. enable-query=false in Minecraft or missing -public 1 in Valheim). Our diagnostic tool checks both query packets and port listening status to clarify the issue.

How do I embed the live status badge into my Discord or website?

After checking your server status, click Get Embeddable Badge in the results card. You will get copyable Markdown and HTML codes that generate a clean SVG badge showing your live player count and latency.
