Connectivity Problem with Rust Dedicated Server - Game not running, everything is red, offline


What happens if you use the Steam server browser and connect via the query port? The “Connect to server” button should also have a sane link here.

I’ve tried that and nothing happens.

But the ports should be right

Try clicking the little ‘link’ icon, it’s a steam://connect URL that should pop up the steam browser.

I did that and it didn’t do anything

Ah, replace 0.0.0.0 with your IP :wink:

And where is that? :grin:

If you’re playing on the same system that AMP is running on you can use localhost, otherwise its your internal/external IP.

Well, yes, but where do I change it, because since I have ARK it normally runs

I don’t follow? You don’t change it - applications should be listening on 0.0.0.0.

What? The ports are correct, the IP on the ports is also correct

I’m not following you at all right now xD what are you trying to do at this moment?

Well I’m still trying to connect to the server somehow

Try Client.connect using the query port instead of the game port.


Cannot connect to the server. The application ID specified by the server is invalid

Whatever game I want to load, the connection to the server doesn’t work

I meant in game, using the console.

That doesn’t work either, it keeps saying the same thing

Using the query port. 27016.

Query Port 28016-------------------

Sorry I meant 28016. Either way try connecting using that port in game.
