Update Oxide/uMod 3. Shorten the Name of the Server If the display name for a server is too long or contains special characters, it may not show on public lists. Try shortening the name or clearing it and entering a new name entirely. 4. Clear the Steam Cache The steam cache can be cleared by going to the /home/container/Steam folder in the File Manager. From here, delete the appcache and config folders. 5. Check the server search filters in the game.
