My server dashboard says my server is online, but when I try to connect to it in-game I get a "sorry, your server is still initializing" error.
When I check the latest server log file (via SFTP), I see:
1) a giant number of WARNINGs and some ERRORs about Shaders in the first half of the log
2) in the second half of the log I see constant failed attempts to connect to Telnet, and those sections just repeat and repeat until the end of the log (still currently going).
The telnet issues look like this:
