Solved Oxide not working after update (not installed)

    So after patching rust and installing the latest oxide version from both bintray & appvayor when my server is started it starts as vanilla and doesn't load oxide at all even though all the DLL's and what not are located in the correct place. Not exactly sure how to troubleshoot this one since I'm not seeing any errors that I can try and fix, it's as if oxide isn't installed at all, though I know it is since I've manually downloaded the latest version to my local computer and copied the files in to the game directory on the server.

    Thoughts? Any additional info I can provide?

    If Oxide is not loading, then Oxide is not installed. Oxide is a mod, so it relies on the patched DLLs that we distribute to be applied correctly, otherwise it will never load. If you are doing any updating after installing Oxide, this will remove the patched DLLs.

    Thanks wulf! Sometimes you have to hear the obvious for the light bulb to turn on. Didn't account for that when I updated my startup script to selectively update oxide only when a new build is available and continue to always validate/install the dedicated server.
