Server not in the List
First thing to note, I usually check the steam server list on my local lan to see if the server is running before trying to connect in game. ASA is the first game I remember that it does not show even by IP, but when I search the server in the game it shows up. I have had this happen to other people as well.
Second thing to note, ASA server search is VERY specific. If you have anything out of order it will not find it. You must be aware of the password box at the bottom of the screen, and also at the top things like PVE/PVP/ALL must always be selected correctly.
When your server doesn’t show and it states its running, I always start with a shutdown of the server and a restart. Servers of any kind can be very goofy. If the server doesn’t show after a second startup check your port forwarding first, that is the most common issue.
Instructions on Port Forwarding HERE
If you think your ports are setup correctly you can try the Steam Server Query Tool Test HERE.
When that doesn’t solve the problem start at the top of this page, go slow and make sure you didn’t miss any steps

HELP My ASA Server is no longer showing in the list updated 12/14/2023
12/14/2023 – The ASA team changed the servers, There is now a new checkbox for Player server. When your server is up to date, and your game is up to date they may not be able to find each other in the server list. To Solve this you will need to open your ark console.
Non WindowsGSM console, try pressing ~ to bring up the console;
WindowsGSM install simply click the toggle console button. In the upper right hand corner hit the down arrows button.
Copy and paste “Ark.UseServerList 0” into the command line and hit the run command button. You may not see any confirmation that this actually ran. Go back to the game and make sure the show player server box is checked along with all the correct server settings. (pve/pve/all) (Password/yes/no), your server should now be showing in the list.
