    I'm not sure why but on my Linode VPS it's not showing a preview of the game. I saw someone else who was hosting his server on Linode and it previewed the game maps just fine. But on mine.. My server is like the only one where maps aren't previewed. What could be wrong here?

    Pic above is what is seen on my servers map preview. There is no problems in-game--it's just the server browser viewing maps & game progress.

    Thank you.

    Server Browser sucks and it doesn't always work, so it's nothing to worry about. It works with some servers, but not others, depending on the number of people on the server.

    Yeah don't worry, there's nothing specifically wrong with linux servers - plenty of us have run kag on a linode VPS (myself included - linode rock :D) with good results.

    The code for both the server browser and servers is a bit flaky, that's all. It'll improve gradually over time.

    Yep - at least on mac it doesn't load any server details for full servers
