Failed to connect (Facepunch_Connector_AuthFailure) - Rust

[b]UPDATE[/b]: Valve is aware of this issue and are working to fix it. It's a problem with steam authentication. In addition some other games using the same steam authentication system are experiencing this issue.[/b] Some users can connect, some can't, sometimes resetting steam works, sometimes it doesn't. We will let you guys know exactly what is going on as soon as we can. Thanks a bunch for being patient and sorry about the downtime. [b]UPDATE 2[/b] : We're attempting to restart some of the servers, this means the server you are playing on may go down for a few minutes

thanks helk for the news! i wish you guys good luck! Ps: i got an email from playrust.eu saying this [B][I]"...they will get in touch with the company doing the networking library..."[/I][/B] could this be something that went wrong ?

Thanks for the update and getting on it so quickly. Let's hope it get fixed in timely manner so I can have a nice night of Rust with some friends ! :)

I think, we click 'disconnect' button later occur this problem

(update) For the past around 24 hours I could join other servers than Central 4. After just checking I can no longer join any server WaitedLimbo after the new server gives me WaitedLimbo and attempt to connect again I get AuthFailure. Short: Now unable to play any server, where as prior AuthFail was just for home server (Central 4)

Thanks for the quick update on the problem. Cant wait to play some more. SOO ADDICTED. NEED MORE RUST. :)

[QUOTE=Helk;43225091]Hey guys, we're aware of this issue, it just popped up out of nowhere without us changing anything, We think it might be an issue with a Steam update, however we're going to do the best we can to fix it on our end. Some users can connect, some can't, sometimes resetting steam works, sometimes it doesnt, We're looking into it right away and I will let you guys know exactly what is going on as soon as I can, Thanks a bunch for being patient and sorry about the downtime[/QUOTE] Yes unfortunately I cannot enter any of the community or official servers.... Please solve this issue, me & my friends love this game... Please inform us... thank you

I know this was happening last night and the official severs got a reboot at like 12 am EST and that fixed the issue for a while. This could be a temp fix till you figure things out.

Just some info on this, may or may not help, I got this same error on US Central 3 yesterday, had to switch servers and could never get back on it.

Bwah. We have it with the whole clan /GG/ in server Belgium.

hope i dont get raided in this downtime :rolleyes:

seems like a connection failure to the steam user db at first.. (times out on new server) then just defaults to "AuthFailure" on following attempts without taking as long.

Hi, I've noticed multiple games (Prime world, Planitary Annihilation) that use a 3rd party authentication system are not connecting at the moment for me. It might not only be a Rust issue, but a general issue with steam authenticating to 3rd parties. Also, something else i noticed. The friends who can still play logged in to steam over 2 hours ago or even longer ago. Me and 1 other friend who logged in to steam in the last hour can not connect. I dont know if there is a relation to this, but it could help

US East 3 (large) need restart

Us central 3 (stress test) need a restart

hey, just posting to say that i really appreciate the timely communication update on the issue. thanks, helk!

Ahh what a sad story :( come home for lunch to play rust and shes a not workin.. Glad you are working on it so fast helk. :D

Guys pls fix this problem... my mates told me that my little house is gone and i don't wanna loose all my stuff i have on me... tooks too long to farm and craft it...-.-

There is something quite exciting and satisfying about having trouble logging in and immediately finding a dev post from 20 minutes before saying they are working on it. Thanks for the quick response Helk, and some people as always need to read what they are buying before they do so.

Guys are you retarded? it's enough when one person reply that rust is in alpha! xD god damn i don't wanna live on this planet anymore... :P

Well that was entertaining, watching that one dude get fucking wrecked in seconds. Regardless, I'm confident that a solution will be found, no matter where the problem came from.

This is happening to me, I do not know if it helps but here is my User steam! Thanks, I hope to play this cool game: D _alekpanda_

Nice I was just informed my base that Ive been working on for the past 2 weeks was raided and all my stuff is no longer in the crates.....uggghhhh!!!! we had so much, 1 member of our team was able to be on when 2 guys came at him..No way they would have done this If the other 3 of us were there !!...Between this and the Damn Ghosting Issue I have I'm starting to play less and less and I do LOVE The game but don't want to recommend it till issues a worked out......Sony I'm Highly aggravated and needed to vent somewhere!!!!!...........................................
