    Hey @Wulf , I was pretty impressed how fast you updated oxide - Thank you very much for this.
    But it seems my server has some problems.
    First start: everything was fine, plugins worked well.
    Then suddenly a servercrash.
    After a restart the plugins were shown for like 20 seconds and then oxide crashed and no plugin works anymore (literally no: not even oxide.grant and so on)
    After that crash it's not working anymore.

    I will try a complete fresh install, but just want to know if anyone else has some problems

    Nothing has changed with Oxide, it was simply re-patched for the Rust update. The only thing that changed was the Rust DLL. If none of the Oxide commands or plugins worked, then Oxide wasn't installed. Oxide is a mod, so it always needs to be installed after any updates.

    Trust me, I installed it.
    It even runs for a few seconds... after the restart not anymore.
    But like i said, I am reinstalling atm.
    We will see.

    Are you doing any updating? Oxide will always start if the DLL is patched, otherwise it isn't installed. The patched DLL is the determining factor, so if you do any sort of updating, Oxide will be uninstalled.

    No i stopped the server, and copied the new files over the old ones.

    But it seems to work now. Sorry to steal your time.
    I don't know what was the problem but i feel dumb now for stealing your time.
    Is it possible to delete this here?

    Thank you again ;)

    Ok now i know the problem - I faced the error when working on my files between build 785.81 and 785.89.
    The hoster did an update, and restarted the server.

    So I wasn't completely dumb xD

    Both builds actually worked fine, regardless of which Rust version used from today's updates. There was a very minor difference between .81 and .89. When Oxide doesn't appear to be loaded but the server is started, Oxide isn't installed. It is a mod, so it needs that DLL to be patched to actually be loaded.

    I don't say (anymore) that it was your fault or the build.
    I just guess the server was restarting, when is was working around in the files. I don't know why it didn't load after the restart.
    But it did perfectly after a second restart.
    Everything is fine. You are doing a really excellent job - and I should just rent a root server so I have full control of any restarts / updates and so on ;)

    No problem, I was just explaining that it a bit more. ;)

    There may be an error with Rust when trying to use an old map too, so that may have played a part. Today's Rust updates were force wipes.
