uMod - Disconnected : connection attempt failed - Rust

Disconnected : connection attempt failed

Posted 6 years ago

Hello !
I made a Rust server on my Debian machine. ( dedicated OVH )
I followed tutorials but I still can't connect to it.

I can connect to Rcon but not to the server with client.connect

I opened each port with iptables.

The only errors I saw is:

Loading Steam API...Failed to init SDL priority manager: SDL not found
Failed to set thread priority: per-thread setup failed
OK.

Thanks in advance.

Bye !

When do you see this error? While updating or starting your server? Also IIRC RCON and game server are using different connection types (I mean UDP/TCP) so try to allow both. What does it say when you try to connect tho?

And when I connect it says :
Disconnected : connection attempt failed

thanks in advance

Make sure it does indeed open your ports, not all tools do this automatically but instead just tell to do so.

If you are trying to connect to your server from the same machine the game client is running you cannot use external IP, use 127.0.0.1/localhost or local IP.

Merged post

If you are trying to connect from the same machine don't try to join your server from the in-game server browser as that will try to use the server's external IP address.

Thanks for answer.

This is not local machine, it's dedicated server

I doubt connection being active means port being "allow"'ed tho. Are you running iptables or ufw or something like that? I mean firewalls :)
