As the title says, whenever I host my game that I have up, it says it's hosted, but it doesn't show up, and people can't join it. How do I fix that, if anyone can help?

Well maybe you don't have the hub created or you don't have the code that you need so that you can host. This is the code...
world
    view=6
    hub="DarkD3vil666.Dragafis"//Key and Game name is case sensitive


The view is how big the game screen is. That doesn't help your problem. Anyway's if you have that, maybe you have a router that doesn't alow you to host. Well it does but no one can join.

Dark has it right... you are most likely not setting a hub path variable on your world, so the game will not show up on your hub. And make sure you don't have something like visibility = 0 or something too
