Servers been upgraded - If someone could let me know if it's up and running - if there's any lag etc be most grateful.

if lag continues it may be worth doing a wipe and start afresh, however will put that to peoples votes.

Thanks

i cant get on it wont connect.

Whoeve owns the server, a fix was posted on the forums to combat the ddos/ulink attack..

To fix this there are 3 ways:
1) If you are using linux you can edit your iptables to block empty udp packets. The following command should work
iptables -A input -m udp -p length –length 0 –j DROP
2) Use/write a proxy server where you tunnel the udp data and check the length before passing it on
Might work on one of these
3) The rust developers could do a temp fix where they create a udp proxy and suggest server providers to block the main port. So:
port = private real server port
port + 1 = public fake udp server with options 2 built in

Doesn't look like anyone can join it, I get the same error as above..

Yes the french idiots are still playing about with all the ulink library making the game unplayable, keep checking here for all the news and updates http://playrust.com/

Cant get on either, but a server restart usually fixes lag for me.

When I was playing today for about 3 hours it was totally fine though. (0800-1100 GMT)

So there is a new tool that allows you to make a map with your own landmarks.. I made one which may help some new players. I won't put our houses on it at this stage though

How are others playing this at the moment?

Cannot join the server listed in this thread, is it because of the ddos?

Ezah · 30 Dec 2013 at 16:11

I don't think anyone is playing just now, if the server shows in the list it is updated and should be playable in theory, so must be le French again.

MarkeR · 30 Dec 2013 at 16:34

I was referring to our server, it's not that no one can play anywhere.

MarkeR · 30 Dec 2013 at 17:15

Andy,is the frenchies or is it something else mate?

Ezah · 30 Dec 2013 at 17:20

I believe the french ddos is the only problem right now. I haven't heard of anything else via the official forums etc.

Madeddie · 30 Dec 2013 at 17:26

Thanks Mark - sent details to the provider, awaiting a reply.
