Additional Information
I found this issue when attempting tests to join my custom Escape server from the Quick Play menu. After changing many settings in both the mission file and server config, I could not find any composition of settings that would allow for my server to show up in the quick play menu. Despite this, I knew it was possible because there are many unofficial servers that show up in the quick play menu, including custom Escape servers.
I began looking at the differences between my server and the custom Escape servers and the only difference was the advertised Server Type was "Dedicated, Windows" on their servers and "Dedicated, Linux" on my server.
I thought "there's no way that's the issue, it's such a weird requirement of the quick play filters". I then moved all my configurations and mission files to a Windows server to test, and the server showed up in the quick play menu immediately.

Thank you for reporting the issue.
However due to the current phase of Live Ops development in Arma 3, it is unlikely that we will fix this.
