Can't Connect?
If you're having trouble joining, try these steps:
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| "Connection failed" | Make sure the server is running (check the panel Dashboard) |
| "Invalid password" | Double-check the password in Startup → Basic → Server Password |
| "Server not found" | Verify you're using the correct IP and port |
| Timeout / no response | Check our Ports and Firewall guide |
| Lag or desync | See our Troubleshooting guide |
💡 Tip: Make sure both you and the server are running the same version of StarRupture. If the game recently updated, the server may need to update too. See our Update Guide.
