Check server status
On Overview, confirm the server is Running and the node is normal.

Verify the connect address
Check that IP, port and client game version all match.

Find errors in the logs; check CPU / memory / latency bottlenecks in monitoring.

Check version & allowlist
Version mismatch or allowlist blocks both prevent joining.
