Rust stops saving randomly

    So basically, Rust stops saving randomly and when the server restarts it rolls back to the last save.

    Example: Last save: 1400, game restarts at 2000, server rolls back to 1400 and loses 6 hours of play.

    I've had this happen to me so many times over the past 5 months I'm about to give up.

    I want something that will force save and run a command in game or something.

    I doubt Rust stops saving, but rather your save is somehow corrupt, so it's unable to save properly. Using a save plugin isn't going to fix this, they use the same save function that Rust uses.

    How does the save get corrupt? I never touch them

    It could be from a Rust bug or glitched animal, or from a plugin that created an entity that can't be properly saved, etc. If Rust can't save something, it doesn't save at all as far as I know.

    What do you suggest? My playerbase is shrinking rapidly.

    Does it show any errors in the log, any save attempts? There are save plugins you can try, but I doubt they'll make a difference.

    Step 2: Check for updated logs when not running that plugin.

    Other than running outdated/broken plugins, I don't see any other issues in the log.
