Q: Why do I get stuck on "Attempting Connection" when trying to join my server?
A: This issue often occurs if your server is still in the process of booting up. To resolve this, follow these steps:
Allow Sufficient Boot Time:
- If the server is still booting, it won't be accessible. Rust CE servers typically take about 20 minutes to fully boot.
- Be patient and wait for approximately 20 minutes to allow the server to complete its boot process.
Perform a Full Wipe (If boot time has elapsed):
- Why: A full wipe can resolve issues preventing the server from booting correctly.
- How:
- Navigate to the
Statussection in your GPORTAL server dashboard. - Scroll down to find the
Full Wipeoption. - Select this option and wait for about 25 minutes for the server to complete its reboot. This process resets your server, which can solve boot-related issues.
Verify Game Files:
- Why: Corrupted or missing game files can prevent a successful connection.
- How:
- Ensure your server is offline in the
Statussection. - Select
Verify Game Filesand wait for about 10 seconds. - After verification, try turning on the server or pressing
Restart.
