Game servers can sometimes fail to start up, which prevents you from using the game server in a game session. The following list details of some common reasons why a game server might fail to start.

  • There’s something wrong with the game binary.
  • The game server is using too many resources for the number of players.
  • The game server is locked.
  • There’s something wrong with the game server configuration. Refer to Profiles and mods.
  • The game image that the process is looking for doesn’t exist or doesn’t have the correct permissions.
