Solved Rust server opens, but doesn't start after update

Using Oxide has been smooth and an overall great experience until lately. For some reason, my server won't seem to start after updating the regular vanilla Rust files in the server. The game update was issues about 4-5 hours ago... is it possible the Oxide version I'm downloading and attempting to install is an older version that doesn't work?

The way I'm attempting to update the server is as follows:
Open SteamCMD and type "login anonymous"
(press enter)
force_install_dir (Rust server directory)
(press enter)
app_update 258550 validate
(press enter)
Update proceeds

After doing this, I returned to the zipped Oxide download and extracted the files directly into the Rust server's location, replacing the files already in place with the new ones. I then launched my server by running the .bat file as usual, but this time the batch file's contents were displayed on the command prompt, but then nothing else happened. CPU usage was present, but absolutely no disk usage. The error log is empty.
I've read a few other forum posts on this, but they reference an incomplete install of Oxide or the game update, so I repeated both but to no avail.

Does anyone have an idea as to how to fix this? I've even tried launching different servers, but even they won't launch. If anyone is able to fix this, and better yet repair the server I was using before so that we could continue using that one, it would be greatly appreciated.

 

post bat file

And what is the Rust server directory and are you running this from your pc

 

Here are the contents of the batch file that I use to launch the server:

RustDedicated.exe -batchmode +server.hostname "Rusty Hooligans - Rusty Hooligans - 2x|Small Clans| Ohio host" +server.identity RustyHooligans +server.maxplayers 50 +server.ip 192.168.200.52 +server.port 28015 +server.saveinterval 1200 -logfile "output(1).txt" +server.description "Rust server for hooligans! Tired of playing alone and being raided by large clans? Hop on Rusty Hooligans! Friendly solo playing, medium-small map with a high resource respawn rate to ensure that noobs can get a quick start. Staff are friendly and willing to help."

I'm aware the attached file is a text file, and not a batch file. I just copied and pasted because the server is not hosted on the computer I am currently using.

 

are you hosting this from your pc

 

Yes, it is being hosted on a Windows 10 PC plugged into the modem via Ethernet.

I noticed that I forgot to answer part of your question earlier, the directory for the Rust server is as follows: C:\Real Rust Server\RustServer

 

Try this as you had a few things missing

Code:

@echo off
RustDedicated.exe -batchmode -nographics +server.stability true +server.hostname "Rusty Hooligans 2x|Small Clans|Ohio host" +server.identity "RustyHooligans" +server.worldsize 3500 +server.seed 1986 +server.maxplayers 50 +server.ip 0.0.0.0 +server.port 28015 +server.saveinterval 1200 -logfile "output.txt" +server.secure true +server.description "Rust server for hooligans! Tired of playing alone and being raided by large clans?\nHop on Rusty Hooligans!\nFriendly solo playing, medium-small map\nwith a high resource respawn rate\nto ensure that noobs can get a quick start.\nStaff are friendly and willing to help with any situation."

 

Thanks for the help, I'll go try that right now. As for the parameter specifying world size, I have found that after running the server for the first time, if I leave the world size parameter in the batch file it will generate a new world, effectively wiping the server. Does the seed parameter negate this effect?

 

You should have world and seed in there then will will stay every restart

 

Same result as before. In the folder where all of the files regarding the server are contained, there is another folder named "server" in which the data for each server is stored. I am attempting to keep the data and world files from the server before this issue happened, so I have duplicated the batch file and then implemented the changes you suggested. In the "server" folder, there is no folder for this server, which is named RustyHooligansUpdateAttempt. Here is the batch file for it.

In reply to Wulf:
Here is that log, and it seems like there are a lot of errors lol.

 

Well you have not put in the bat file I done above and more than likely you are not using a compatible build and as a result are mixing Rust versions.

 

How should I go about straightening out the mixed Rust versions?

Edit: I have now directly copied and pasted your .bat file

 

If you want this fixed need your skype info

 

owen.septimus is my Skype username

With your .bat file, I get nothing but a blank command prompt but CPU usage in task manager

 

Please use this bat file, you're missing several required parameters it seems. This bat file is edited to contain all of your information, I got this originally from the Oxide build. A bat file example is bundled in every Oxide update so don't override it, rename it to something else or something.

 

I have fixed all his problems now over skype

 

Solution to the problem involved deleting other possibly conflicting Rust servers and reinstalling oxide, along with the correction of a few parameters in the batch file. Very thankful for your help Resistance!

 

Happy to help
