Plugin Issue

Hello,

I’m having an issue with LinkingSystem v1.1.5 on a Carbon server. Players receive the message “LinkBot is not active, try later.” The Discord bot is online and logged in successfully. RCON shows connected in the bot logs, STATUS is enabled in config.json, and reloading the plugin with c.reload LinkingSystem triggers LinkingSystem.CheckStatus in console. However, the plugin still thinks the bot is offline.

For context, my Rust server is hosted with Physgun and the bot is hosted separately on IceHost. I’ve verified HOST, PORT, and PASS all match exactly, confirmed the RCON port is open from the bot host, ensured the bot is fully running before reloading, and the issue persists.

I did attempt support via Discord first. The last response I received from a team member (Simil3x) was on 2/25/2026 at 5:08 AM EST with RCON verification suggestions, which I confirmed and replied to. As of 03/01/2026, I have not received further follow-up. Is there a debug mode or additional logging I can enable to determine why the CheckStatus handshake is failing? I’m happy to provide logs or configs if needed. Thank you.
