Contagion server not showing up or unable to connect

If joining fails

Check contagion/console.log when Console reports a missing map or configuration error. The Server Config field chooses which configuration filename is executed, so edits to another file will not necessarily load.

1. Open Console and wait for the game or world to finish loading. Save the first error if startup stops.
2. Use the joining method above with one client on the matching game version and required content.
3. If entry is rejected, compare the exact error with the password, edition, map or authentication checks above. Keep the working save while testing.
