If you try to join an exaroton server that is offline or currently restarting, you'll be placed in a waiting lobby until the server is fully started. This feature integrates perfectly with our automatic start system. In this article, we'll show you how to turn the waiting lobby on or off.
What is the offline waiting lobby?
The offline waiting lobby is a temporary world that players are sent to when the server is offline or restarting. It shows a simple waiting screen with the server’s current status. If autostart is enabled, players can wait here until the server is online, after which they will automatically be transferred to the correct server.
How to enable the offline waiting lobby
You can easily enable or disable the waiting lobby from your server's options page. Simply go to the options page and find the “Enable offline waiting lobby” setting next to the automatic start and stop options.
Can I customize the lobby?
Unfortunately, it is not currently possible to customize the waiting lobby.
