• Joining Server Problem (not sure if DDoS or not.)
    27 replies, posted
when i try and join my server it goes into the loading screen beneth loading it says "Connecting" after a while it just goes back to the server selection without saying anything went wrong. i had gotten kicked off the server and when i tryed to restart Rust it said it needed to update. i tried just launching now same thing. did the update and still same thing. i can join some other Community servers but not others or myown. is this the DDos?, if so fair enough and i'll leave it be if not is this a bug?.
its DDos
its the DDOS my friend. try again later when the lovely French child turns off his attack =(
[QUOTE=Fujamate;43358070]its DDos[/QUOTE] Nah DDoS is different
put it in windowed and tried to join. it pops up in the background "Failed to join" it doesn't display the message if the window is large. only if it's small???? i dunno.
If you press F1, the console turns up. You can see if the connection is failing or not.
well it's a guy he has fucket up the game bigtime the thing he want is free serverhosting hes a france man and i don't know more
This isnt DDoS. Read here: [url]http://playrust.com/[/url]
In short, currently if you can't join a server, blame it on the Ddos
"System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object" is the error i get trying to join. [editline]31st December 2013[/editline] and why DDoS a community server that has 2 people on it???

I swear to god so much misinformation going on. No wonder its taking over four days to fix at this point.
Some info on this login problem - it appears to be computer specific (my brother can get into my server on his computer no problem). I can join other servers without problem, just not the server we play on. I know this isnt the DDos attack but after reinstalling the game (also tried deleting the folder once uninstalled) , restarting the comp, router, modem and releasing the IP, I have not fixed this. Could this be the server rejecting my IP or something? would love some suggestions on what to try to fix it. [IMG]http://i1365.photobucket.com/albums/r753/jstegemeier/RustError_zpsc38bfd1e.png[/IMG]
[QUOTE=Ravin;43358586]Because its NOT a DDoS. Its a completely different kind of attack. I swear to god so much misinformation going on.

Even the devs are calling it a DDos. Here is the wiki for DDoS ill bold the relevant point. [QUOTE]In computing, a denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) or distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS attack) is an attempt to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users.

Omg you people are awful lol. Who cares what it really is? Misinformation? People just want to play a video game, not get a lecture in networking. DDoS, exploit, everyone knows what everyone else is talking about: The servers are broken. Also, RasDuppy, no matter how many threads you post into with the same pictures it's going to be the same answer. It is not your computer, it's either the attacks or the server. It has nothing to do with installing the game/restarting your computer/powercycling your router. That is the exact same error that everyone is getting. Wait it out. Thank you. :)

Please read before making posts.... It is clearly my computer - I can get in on other computers first try - so please dont act like you know what you are talking about.... Thank you :)

Whether it's your computer or not that error message is exactly the same as the one that everyone gets during the attacks. Are you sure that the other computer is trying to connect to the same server? The reconnect button on the F1 console will connect you to whatever server you were on last, so I wouldn't be surprised if you're just accidentally connecting to a different one.
Ya and this random server had my big house and all my stuff in it... I had to get onto another computer to close my doors in my house... so yes I am sure it is just this computer and this server....

This attack simulates a DDoS attack, but uses a Ulink gap in the coding to take servers down. While this attack simulates a DDoS, its not. Its a major issues with Ulink and their coding. Devs are not calling it a DDoS, Garry himself said it wasn't a DDoS on a blog. Its was a coding issues with Ulink that is allowing them to then DDoS the servers. Fix the Ulink coding problem, it doesn't happen anymore. They are indeed denying us access to our services, but every attack on the internet isn't a DDoS.

And to reply to OP, this is not an issue with your computer. It's complete luck that your brother can log in and you can't. If he is able to continue playing without experiencing lag/rubberbanding/desync from the attacks, that is odd, however if he eventually succumbs to the same fate as the rest of us then it simply means he got in to the server before the attack happened again. I've seen this happen too where my favorite server is populated but i get the same connection error as you in the console. For now, all we can do is wait until this exploit is fixed and then we can figure out if your issue is separate.
This is not luck - hours and hours of hundreds/thousands of failed attempts and he can get on either account with little problem (multiple times on/off) - he has this error maybe once (just did it first try)... It must be an IP issue or something - maybe this server not is refusing my connection or something (which happen when DDos is happening, but this seems permanent) I have started to download it on another computer to check if it is my IP. I will post back soon

I am not awake enough to know if it starts sooner, but it definitely seemed to have been happening nearly 16 hours a day.
I mean in the last 10 minutes, I have been trying then he tries... has not worked for nearly 16 hours now for me... works 3/3 in the last 10 minutes. Then another 5 minutes of failed attempts by me..... Its NOT luck. I am somehow permanently unable to get on
It seems just a few minutes ago this issue was fixed. (The attacks) You don't have any firewalls enabled do you? Like windows firewall and stuff? Also have you tried to connect to a different server? The list you have above is attempting to reconnect to the same server repeatedly.
I can get onto other servers just fine.... no firewalls. - Laptop has same issue - MUST BE on this IP. I will take it to work and try there - will post back in 30 minutes. I am guessing I must have sent a null packet or something and the server is refusing me or something - what did this latest patch do to help stop the DDos - Could this be the reason I cant play this server - Could the server admin be able to lift some IP block?

Its not something on your end if you can connect to others.
I actually have the exact same problem, on the exact same server. Haven't been able to connect for over 24 hours.
I am getting the Facepunch Auth Error trying to join one of my regular servers now.
