Troubleshooting
When something breaks, start with the layer that owns the symptom:
| Symptom | Go to |
|---|---|
| One game server crashes, will not start, or misbehaves | Server issues |
| A whole node is unreachable or all its servers suffer | Node issues |
| The panel itself errors, logins fail, pages break | Panel issues |
| Players cannot connect but everything looks green | Networking issues |
| A specific error message | Common errors |

- The exact error text — copy, do not paraphrase. Codes from common errors speed everything up.
- When it started and what changed just before (updates, new mods, config edits, new server).
- Scope: one server, all servers on a node, or the whole panel.
“The server is broken” takes five follow-up questions. The four facts above usually get an answer in one round.
