    Hi all,

    Intro
    So i'm not new to server's world as i've got 6 moded gmod servers already + 2 CSS (moded) and one TF2.
    By the way, all those are running under Linux. As Rust doesn't support Linux anymore for now (at least for the new Rust) i had to take a Windows VM. So even if i'm using it everyday for work and personal use, i'm quite new to windows server.

    Questions/issues
    - Every time i manually set something into the server.cfg it gets resetted and doesn't take effect. By the way, i tried the command "server.writecfg" after applying some settings as written here http://oxidemod.org/threads/setting-up-your-own-experimental-rust-server-with-oxide-2.5754/ does not work : nothing is written into the server.cfg. How to make a working cfg ? What is the syntax ? I couldn't find any documentation.
    - How to turn server.globalchat True forever ?
    - I tried to add tickrate at launch but it does seem to work
    - I've got a saved that is messed up, maybe by addons, when i use it, i've got poor performances. For now i'm trying the RAW server, without any addon.

    Any help would be very appreciated.

    1. The command server.writecfg saves what is in the server memory, so if you added commands to the config AFTER starting the server, then it will most likely remove them.
    2. You can add the server.globalchat true in the startup script/command-line, or in server.cfg.
    3. No idea with the tickrate. Either it doesn't exist anymore, or you aren't loading the config.
    4. Poor server performance is generally caused by a config issue or a plugin that interacts with your server in a way such as polling all the structures/objects/etc. Nothing we can really do, as it's up to you to remove/add/test to see what is causing it.
