Connection Error

Hello all, I've seen this post around a few times, but it always gets solved with nothing posted here on how they did it so here I go. Let me post what I've done and maybe someone can tell me where I went wrong.

1. Installed Rust via SteamCMD.
2. Downloaded Oxide and copied over to directory as instructed.
3. Made my bat file (listed below).

When players try to connect, they get this message "deferring playback. FMOD ERROR: Operation could not be preformed because specified sound/DSP connection is not ready."

At first it was steam auth timeout error and now this. Any ideas to get this baby running? Do I need to double check the ports to make sure that the steam auth port is open as well and if so, what port is that? Google didn't tell me crap. Thanks in advance!

Code:

@echo off
RustDedicated.exe -batchmode +server.ip 0.0.0.0 +server.port 28015 +server.hostname "=HTF= 24/7 Survival Madness | Hailthefallen.com" +server.seed 181***** +server.maxplayers 100 +server.worldsize 8000 +server.identity my_server_identity -chat.serverlog 1 -server.netlog 1 server.saveinterval 300 -spawn.max_rate 1 -spawn.max_density 1 -autoupdate -god 1 server.secure false

 

remove -autoupdate
my_server_identity needs to be "my_server_identity"
remove
-chat.serverlog 1 -server.netlog 1
-spawn.max_rate 1 -spawn.max_density 1 -god 1 server.secure false
You can put some of these in your server.cfg file

 

Code:

@echo off
RustDedicated.exe -batchmode +server.ip 0.0.0.0 +server.port 28015 +server.hostname "=HTF= 24/7 Survival Madness | Hailthefallen.com" +server.seed 18194088 +server.maxplayers 100 +server.worldsize 8000 +server.identity "my_server_identity" server.saveinterval 300

This is my current bat file now with your suggestions... and still nothing. Same error. Below is what the window looks like after it starts up. I tried adding myself as admin... nothing written to users.cfg either.

Here is what I see in game when I try to connect to the server:

Ideas?

 

A further screenshot to add is this one. This is what it says when it first starts up... (the "not connected"). Is that normal?

Edit: It looks like my previous post is still awaiting moderator approval... might be a couple until the previous post appears.

 

Try
ownerid 76561197973453659 "DragYourHalo" "Owner"
Then server.writecfg

wait for server to fully start

 

lol yeah I saw the proper write command after I posted it. Brain fart. Anyways, we changed ports thinking that maybe it was being blocked by the actual host to our Garry's Mod port number that we know works... same problem. "Steam Auth Timeout".

Again, here is my bat file (with the changed port number). Any ideas why it won't auth with steam? I went as far as to rerun SteamCMD and reinstall it and follow all directions on another pinned post. Same problem. Also, anything I put into the console does nothing. I checked the users.cfg file (server/my_server_identity/cfg) and it hasn't been modified since 3/5/16 when we first installed it.

Code:

@echo off
RustDedicated.exe -batchmode +server.ip 0.0.0.0 +server.port 27016 +server.hostname "=HTF= 24/7 Survival Madness | Hailthefallen.com" +server.seed 18194088 +server.maxplayers 100 +server.worldsize 8000 +server.identity "my_server_identity" server.saveinterval 300

 

Test this open ports 28015 and 28016 rcon open your bat file with notepad++ paste this in
If running for a host change server.ip to be same as server box

Code:

@echo off
RustDedicated.exe -batchmode -nographics +server.ip 0.0.0.0 +server.port 28015 +server.hostname "=HTF= 24/7 Survival Madness | Hailthefallen.com" +server.seed 18194088 +server.maxplayers 100 +server.worldsize 8000 +server.identity "my_server_identity" server.saveinterval 300
