Also, my server does not show in the server browser. I have re-started and refreshed many time. Server is online, I can only connect to it directly though thru the IP.
Here is the admin panel screenshot.

Only changes I have made to the ini was to change the server name and added motd stuff, which doesnt seem to work either. I am really getting tired of second rate indie developers and their half ass releases.

I did have the region in the server file, but removed it.
Only thing I can think to try next is maybe setting the cores it can use. Maybe it doesnt like the 8 core setup?
BTW I am running the 64 bit version, if that makes a difference.
