Solved "Server update required" when starting server (outdated)

What should I do to fix?

 

This means that you will have to update your server & oxide (this has to be done every thursday/friday as the developers release new content / changes every week)

If you are using a webpanel / shared hosting, there should be some easy buttons to simply do a steam update & update oxide

If you are using some other kind of hosting, you will want to follow the steps listed here to update your server How to update a rust local server? • r/playrust

 

Ah, ok.

How do I update steam and oxide?

 

What kind of server hosting do you have?

 

Dedicated

 

if you have a host they probably have in the control panel a button to update

linux (LGSM: ./rustserver update ( rustserver: Rust | )

for windows i use this script with steamcmd i dont know if there is a better way:

Code:

login anonymous
force_install_dir "YOUR PATH"
app_update 258550
quit

 

I use a remote connection to configure my server

 

run the steamcmd
type in it
login anonymous
force_install_dir "your path"
app_update 258550 validate +quit

 

I double clicked the "update.bat" file and now it won't say Oxide when I run the server.

 

you need to reinstall oxide after updating

 

Reinstalling.

Where would the path usually be?

 

where your rust server is installed, my one is just on my HDD so in my case it would be D:\rustserver

 

I reinstalled Oxide and the same thing keeps happening "Update Server"

 

the update.bat maybe didnt work? i dont know never used a "update.bat" try to run the script @Resistance and me posted with SteamCMD

 

Alright, will try

Command not found "force_install_dr"

 

You need to put your path inside the " like force_install_dir "C:\rustserver\server\"

 

Still says "command not found"

 

Command not found "force_install_dr"

the command is
force_install_dir

 

Oh! Ok, I've got my server onto the folder you specified.

Says "could not start up server on port 28015 and it gets stuck.

 

Best to copy and paste this way you wont miss letters then you wont get the command not found problem
