Rust - multiplayer survival from the creator of Garry's Mod

yes but update doesn't mean wipe.. we have had several major patches and no wipe.

i can imagine a wipe is needed if major exploits are being used or the game is released.. but otherwise, whats the need?
 
*Shrug* I played since the web browser (October), and there were some roll backs then, but the servers I played on(playrust EU mainly) were not wiped, apart from once when we are playing on the Hunger games, and I don't know the reason for that.

But lets see how it goes and avoid where possible :)

Try another PVE server where PVP is actually switched off, probably the best way to learn the game if you want to go it alone.

Either that or ask on here to join up with somebody who get help you learn

Roach, me and Tethias have spent all evening building a huge new tower.. will this be transferred to new server? Thanks pal
 
Hi Cocky, the lure of Rust took me back to your server and I've been playing as Skidpanda on there. There's a lot of chat about wiping the server or moving to a new server but "not to worry as files have been copied over" from the current server.

How old are these files and will you be taking a copy of the latest files before the switch or sticking to files a day or more old? Will be lose our buildings again etc Will there be a cut off date/time that the files are copied over to the new server?

How would I know if it was a real PVE or not, is there some way of filtering? Just wanted get a feel for the controls and stuff before I jumped in.

If the new server switch happens which isn't a definite as they have assured me they are sorting the lag problem out, then everything will be transferred

As I said above if it happens It takes 5 mins to backup and transfer so nothing should be lost, just the time it takes from the backup to joining the new server. I will give plenty of notice to everybody if/when it happens

I would imagine it will say in the server name, no filters yet so just join a server and ask in chat straight away is probably easiest
 
gutted!!! logged out while I nipped to the shop, log back in and I'm at a random spawn with no gear. assumed I'd been raided and killed. made my way back to my cabin and it hadn't been raided at all. also lost all of the stuff I'd previously studied from blue prints :(:(
 
Same ^

I think we had a partial character wipe, Cocky, mainly affecting those who were offline at the time.

Earned $ = still there
Houses and stored items - still there

Research = gone
inventory = gone
respawned at random location.

Anyway to restore some character backups? I hate to say roll back, as people will lose their work.
 
Aaaarrrgggghhhhhh!!!!

Did the server crash last night? as we have the process information error again http://imgur.com/w9f8ErY

Looks like it crashed and then Dub has restarted it and because of that things have Been wiped, there are a few bits of information missing in the control panel like the ban list has been wiped aswell.

The earliest player data restore was at 22:35 so that would be after the wipe so pretty much useless doing that

I have no idea what to do as this server is really doing my head in now, I'm gonna fire off a horrible email to multiplay and then wait 2 days for a reply

Sorry guys but once again it isn't my fault but the curse of server maid25

Yeah people are saying on the oxide forums that multiplay updated the plugins incorrectly so a few including removal tools stopped working

I've just sent 10 research kits to everybody on the server, I will keep doing this throughout the day
