RS Dragonwilds Server not showing in Public Server List / Black Screen Issue
When uploading a world save to your RuneScape: Dragonwilds server, you may encounter an issue where the world loaded correctly in single-player but failed to load on the server, preventing it from showing up in the public server list and causing a black screen upon direct connection. This guide explains what is causing this issue and how to resolve it using the steps below. --- What is causing this issue? The world name is stored internally in the file when the world is created. If you happened to rename this save file to something different from its initially generated name, this sadly does not change this internal value.
