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 Status section in your GPORTAL server dashboard.
  • Scroll down to find the Full Wipe option.
  • 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 Status section.
  • Select Verify Game Files and wait for about 10 seconds.
  • After verification, try turning on the server or pressing Restart.

Contact GPORTAL Support:

  • Why: If the problem persists, professional assistance may be needed.

⚠️ Important Note: Forcing a reboot while your server is attempting to boot can lead to various stability issues. It's crucial to allow the server to complete its boot process without interruption.
