Rust: Connection attempt failed and login timeout
Check the address from the directory and the server status. Then try logging into another server: this helps to differentiate between an issue with one server and a connection problem.

What to check
- Copy the fresh connection command: an old IP or incorrect port won't work.
- If there is a restart or update, wait for the online status to appear.
- Restart Steam and Rust; make sure the update has finished downloading.
- Check logging into another server. If none work, check network stability and permissions for Rust and Steam in the firewall settings.
- If the issue is only with our server, please send the server name, time, and error message to support.
If the server is full
Queue is a separate state. Do not restart the game multiple times while waiting; first check the queue message and the number of players on the server card.
