Rust South African Server

[Shirou]

Morning all, just a update about PlayRust ZA, we have sit untill this morning 5AM trying to sort out what is happening regarding lag, but seems something else is wrong, we even had a hacker duping items which corrupted the world, i have logged several tickets with multiplay waiting for a response to get the server fixed as this is no longer accepted as i would love to have the server 100% for everyone to play on and enjoy.

So please do understand that i am trying my best i can do getting the server the way it should be but most of it is out of my hands.

Can we please enable the mod where we can cancel our own buildings with a pickaxe?
We built some pillars wrong and need to cancel that stuff

PLZ Shirou... just enable that one mod for us at least.

UPDATE #2: Server is now performing way better, the issue which caused it was the plugin "Oxcide" and waiting for a stable release as this caused the memory leaks, we are now running without addons and have not had any latency issues even with 60 players.

We now deal with another problem, we are paying for a 100 slot server and it can only handle about 60 - 70 players before the server runs out of memory, so please be patient as i am trying to resolve this with multiplay.

Have a pleasant evening further and if you play rust, try to survive!

OH! and almost forgot, Backpacks are now locked for 15 minutes and you will need to have a lockpick if you would wish to take someone elses loot from it, have fun!

Morning all! Another Update: This morning about 2AM a new Oxide update released which fixed the memory leak issue, Rust still have the CPU problem but atleast you won't be disconnected now and the latency should be way better and the auto server restarts should be fixed, server been running now for about 6hours no problems

So the addons has been added back and tested, and works good so far.

Also please LIKE our new Gamers Haven page, we would like to get everyone using that instead than this page from now on as we would like to keep everything on a central location.

Last night went way more smoother with our RUST server than the past weekend with the memory leak problem we had, did not have 1 disconnect and peaked 70 players

Thanks for the great support everyone and making it a great RUST server to play on.

What about Admins overusing their privileges?

I was in Hacker Valley and I saw a huge Stadium built there - surely that was not built by a hard working player?
A few players don't want me poking around there either and quickly killed me, with an excuse of "You're building to close to my base" - well, I was pretty damn far cause I couldn't even see it as far as my game could draw (Max Graphics)

They also managed to destroy foundations I put there - I wasn't aware even the owner of the building could destroy that, even with the oxide mod + pickaxe.... never mind other "players"


I would just like some clarity whether you guys are playing within the same rules as the rest of us, because if not I see that as a form of cheating and a red flag of a good gaming server.

Now don't get me wrong, Obviously "God mode" + "fully kitted out M4's" + "full kevlar" + "unlimited ammo" helps against cheating or hacking players - but not if we are just playing regularly and accidentally stepped within 3 miles of your base.


Maybe it's just me, but I'm not a fan of some "players" having an unfair advantage...
Like I said, no problem if you're an admin with a job to protect the innocent against hackers/cheaters.... but if you're "playing WITH the rest of us" and shooting people it leaves a bad aftertaste.

Hi Keeper, i am the only person with full admin access that can do that, and no thats not me, i barely have a weapon on me when i play, thats if and when i get time as running the server takes more of my time than playing at this stage.

I did build a "Arena" before for events but that was before this wipe and like 2 weeks ago, but i do think i know who you talking about, there is about 10 players if not more staying there and plays like 24/7 so it won't suprise me at all.

You are more than welcome to come check out my shack i have

And i do know where you are coming from and there is no reason to be afraid of admins who have a better advantage over players because thats not happening on my server, i do have one other person on the team but he just have access to kick/ban and monitor chat.

You are more than welcome to chat with me about this on teamspeak.

Fair enough Shirou, i'll take your word for it.

While we're at it though, what are the specific rules about Griefing?

After the reset I started building a 5x5 foundation with a 3x3 structure, and right before I could add my door, 3 guys came and broke down my "temp shack" (even when I ran out and told them they could take everything) and told me to simply leave, laughed, and proceeded to seal up my base with a steal door.

They aren't even using it, at all - they just did it for the joke.

Now I have to either abandon the base I worked so hard for, or try to keep future bandits away long enough to craft friggen C4 explosives, just so I can destroy their stupid door and resume building my base.

I haven't been playing much because of this griefing - starting all over or building C4 just to remove a door isn't really fun.
They had a quick laugh and now I have to put in *hours* just to get back where I was.

 

[Shirou]

Well Well Well.. aint this awesome

Already have several suspects which was banned on our RUST server.

Sadly we don't have rules for that or if we gonna add any as thats RUST, and we trust that people won't do that on the end and just be fair or something, but if you think we need rules for that please let me know and we will look at it and talk about it with the rest of the players

brb, I've got some spiked walls to build in front of a few doors...
Maybe I could even build a small 1x1 walling around the door just in case - good luck getting out to get supplies for C4, good luck getting in to actually craft the C4.

They're gonna have to suicide to get out, run half a map to get back home, farm resources, build a work table and Furnace outside, and then manage to craft 2 packs of C4.... in the field!
If they can't cook C4 yet, well, I guess they're just going to have to sleep outside for a few days.

This game is full of asshōles, and I'm going to be the biggest and most respected one yet.

Just bought the game and died freaking blood loss, stoopid wolf, then started exploring. Found a crate looked inside saw some ammo. I left it in the crate and walked off only to get kicked reason violation. Are there rules we should know about? And if you die can you find your corpse and get you inventory back or is it lost?

Use bandages (Press 2) - note that it doesn't heal you, just stops the bleeding. you will heal after a while, or if you eat, or use a medkit. if you don't have bandages you will stop bleeding after a while if your health isn't too low.

Found a crate looked inside saw some ammo.

you should have ran with the stuff man, leave no bullet behind!

I left it in the crate and walked off only to get kicked reason violation. Are there rules we should know about?

First I've ever heard about this - it might be a douchebag mod. was this on the Gamers Haven server? I'm guessing it was another server... cause i've never seen anyone booted for any reason.

Amd if you die can you find your corpse and get you inventory back or is it lost?

Yes - if you're within the time limit (15 mins I think) your bag will most probably still be there and locked... unless they picked it.
Backpacks do dissapear after some time though.

Yeah i tested twice just to make sure. Gamers haven server.

Thx for the rest of the tips.

Keeper, I've decided to buy both Rust and DayZ Just a little hectic at work at the moment. when I do have a time to join you guys I will. When is the next server reset? Maybe I should just wait for the reset and then we all group up?
