Deciding whether your OpenRA – Tiberian Dawn<\/strong> server is visible to the world is key to managing your community. By enabling the Public Server<\/strong> setting, your instance will be broadcasted to the global master list, allowing players from around the globe to discover and join your battlefield. Follow the standard GGServers<\/strong> workflow to adjust your server’s visibility.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Access the Panel<\/h3>\n

Log in to your GGServers Control Panel<\/a>. The dashboard provides the Entity Clarity<\/strong> required to manage your server’s network presence.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Stop the Server<\/h3>\n

To ensure the visibility toggle is correctly updated in the master server heartbeat, click the red Stop<\/strong> button. Modifying network broadcast settings while the server is live can lead to a mismatch in the Digital Consensus<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Server
Open the Server Settings menu to access your configuration tabs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Step 4: Open General Settings<\/h3>\n

Inside the Server Settings menu, select the General Settings<\/strong> tab. This section handles the fundamental connection and discovery rules for your server.<\/p>\n

\"General<\/figure>\n

Step 5: Change the Setting That Will Auto Save<\/h3>\n

Locate the box labeled Public Server<\/strong>. Use the dropdown or toggle to set this to Yes<\/strong> (to list the server publicly) or No<\/strong> (for a private session). The GGServers panel features an automatic save<\/strong> function, ensuring your visibility preference is recorded as soon as the change is made.<\/p>\n

\"OpenRA
Choose whether the server should be visible in the public lobby.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Step 6: That is it!<\/h3>\n

Return to the main dashboard and click Start<\/strong>. Your OpenRA – Tiberian Dawn server will now boot up and broadcast its status according to your choice, making it easy for players to find your match in the global list.<\/p>\n
