 +==== Known Issues/Troubleshooting ====
 +
 +As of this writing, the following are known issues-
 +
 +  * Engine.ini parameters ServerPort, Port, and QueryPort do not work.  You can not run two (or more) instances of CEDS on one machine and have the additional servers show on the Official Server List. When you start additional servers on the same machine the port automatically increments (7777-->7778-->7779).
 +  * Module Pickup+ does not work.
 +
 +Troubleshooting-
 +  * If you start the server with the "-log" option, the server logs are found in INSTALL_DIR/ConanSandbox/Saved/Logs/ (in our instructions it would be /home/steam/Conan_Exiles/ConanSandbox/Saved/Logs/).
 +  * If you're running mods and the server starts but you cannot connect to it and are getting the "Mods don't match" error but, your mod DO match, the problem is that a mod is failing to load.  Check the logs and see which one is failing (usually indicated by a "______ unloaded from precache" entry).
