Rust
Can't connect to local dedicated server.
Hey guys, I'm having trouble connecting to the dedicated server I just made.

I tried "client.connect 'IP Address':28015" and "client.connect localhost:28015"

I'm running the server from the same computer as I'm playing rust. I'm not doing this perminatly, I just want to test if the server is funtioning.

Any advise?

Normaly if you set all correctly up you only need to write "client.connect" you dont need an ip or something if you run it local. But start Rust after you startet your server.


I running mine with these settings Rust (Experimental):

Batch File:

C:\steamcmd\steamapps\common\rust_dedicated\RustDedicated.exe -batchmode +server.port 28015 +server.maxplayers 1 +server.hostname "****" +server.identity "****" +server.level "Procedural Map" +server.seed 6738 +server.saveinterval 60 +server.secure False +server.tickrate 30 +construct.frameminutes 0

I'll try that as well as your .bat settings.

Thanks!

The server console says "Unsupported Encoding" and the in game console says "Failed to connect to remote host."

Mhh thats strange.
The message Unsupported Encoding utf8 is normal i getting this message too but for me all works without problems.

I used the Instructions from this site:

When I downloaded the server files, I only got one folder with the server files and .exe.

There was no "debug" or "release" anything in the files.

Also the site doesn't say how to login.

there is now only release version aviable i thing and login you do with "login anonymous" if i tryed with my account i got the message no subscription.

Ok thanks, I was confused because every tutorial talked about multiple folders and I couldn't find them.

I'm going to try on a different computer to see if my laptop just doesn't have the specs for it.

Thanks again.

I did it using my local IPV4 from my server.
In my case it was: 192.168.1.8:28015
Just do a cmd then ipconfig.

I've setup my rust files through steamCMD, I can launch the server fine using the following batch command RustDedicated.exe -batchmode -server.hostname "!!Razgriz Test Sever" - Keep in mind that launch this from the dir. - All ports are open on windows and router, I have other server that run fine, to include Ark and Insurgency (which for some strange reason they show up in the rust local network, why does rust see these servers? ) Any ideas?

When i do "client.connect localhost:28015" it connects me to a random server? Please help.

localhost is your machine! 127.0.0.1 hence the name "local host" so you are connecting to a server you are hosting on your machine.

This is why I hate rust, it's impossible to host your own server, then force you to buy a host.

host localy is 10 times easier than buying a host. just saying
