1. After I put in the update no plugins load I have to delete everything and reinstall it all again why does this happen everytime
    This is what I do to update
    start steamcmd
    login anonymous
    force_install_dir "C:\RustServer\server\"
    app_update 258550 -beta experimental
    I then start the .bat file and no plugins will load so I have to install everything from the start I do save the my_server_identity folder and reupload that when done so what am I doing wrong
     
  2. After you do a steam update you have to reinstall oxide.
     
  3. I did forget to add that part in the first post

    If the server starts but plugins do not load, you most likely do not have Oxide installed. You can check if it's installed by using the "version" command in the console or via RCON. Make sure you do not use any validate or autoupdate when starting your server with Oxide installed either.
     
  5. This is what I have done I downloaded the new version uploaded it overwriting all files that is asked to then
    started steamcmd
    login anonymous
    force_install_dir "C:\RustServer\server\"
    app_update 258550 -beta experimental
    Started the bat file no plugins loaded, so what point did I go wrong, I must of done it wrong somewhere

    What is the version command and do i type that in the bat cmd window?
     
  6. This is where you got it wrong..you overwrite the files after you do the steam update.
     
  7. ok so i do all this first
    started steamcmd
    login anonymous
    force_install_dir "C:\RustServer\server\"
    app_update 258550 -beta experimental
    then overwrite the files is this right

    You don't need -beta experimental, as that will do nothing, but other than that those steps are fine.

  11. This part
    @steamcmd +login anonymous +app_update 258550 validate +quit
    pause
    when do I do this part as I dont have this in the bat file or do I type this in the steamcmd app_update 258550 validate +quit
    at some point if yes when I also never looked at this as the title was setting up a server not updating so did not think it was what i needed

    What you were doing before is fine. You can add that to a .bat file if you'd like, but do not run that before starting your sever, as the validate option will unmod your server.
     
  13. so when do i run the validate and do i only run it once or when needed

    You'd only run that line when you plan on updating your server after a Rust update, and once you've updated, you'd have to re-install the appropriate version of Oxide if you want to use it.
     
  15. I have seen you post many updates sometimes twice a day so before each one I run that first so like this
    start steamcmd
    login anonymous
    force_install_dir "C:\RustServer\server\"
    app_update 258550 validate +quit
    then quit steamcmd then start steamcmd again and do this
    login anonymous
    force_install_dir "C:\RustServer\server\"
    app_update 258550 -beta experimental
    then overwrite the files with oxide update you post

    You do not need to update using steamcmd every time Oxide is updated, only when a Rust update is released. To update Oxide, just overwrite the old.
     
  17. How to know when to use steamcmd and not to. Is there any where it says rust update has come out
