Quake Live server not showing up or unable to connect

If joining fails

If direct connection works but listing differs from expectations, inspect Server Type and the game’s browser filters. If the client reports a version or content error, address that before changing the network port.

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.
