Summary

Adds a Crossplay section to the Valheim page:

  • -crossplay is passed by default and routes connections through the PlayFab relay for Xbox/Game Pass players.
  • Steam-only servers joined by direct IP may want to turn it off.
  • To do that, copy startparameters into the instance config and remove -crossplay. A full example line is included, matching the current develop default.
  • With crossplay off and the server public, deeper monitoring is available via querymode="2" / querytype="protocol-valve".

The vhserver _default.cfg comment added in GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM#4969 links here (#crossplay). Together they resolve GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM#4930.
