    We are noticing quite a few performance issues with the latest version of Oxide (build 76) and the recent Rust update. Several servers are constantly maxing a CPU core with no players connected and some servers are easily exceeding 4GB ram with no players connected.
    Even a fresh server install with build 76 is experiencing these issues. Here is the console log after starting the server: http://pastebin.com/pr4JBZwK

    Is any one else noticing any issues?

    Nothing changed with Oxide 2 update, so it has to be Rust. Keep in mind that Oxide 2 is primarily hooks for plugins, so without plugins, it literally does nothing and should not impact performance at all. There are plugins that could potentially affect performance depending on the nature of them, but in this case it is likely Rust.

    The latest Rust update did have some terrain changes which forced server owners to create new maps, so it's very possible the issue lies there.

    The errors you see in the log look to be from the console changes and possibly new red info bar on the bottom of the console window, but once again, not Oxide.

    I suspect you'll need to wait for a Rust update to fix the errors, but for the lag I'd try with a fresh install and clean world.

    Most likely, but looks to be from a plugin.

    Probably from rustdb while it was downed

    You didn't follow the steps then and are missing Visual C++ 2012 x64. Check your logs to verify.

    You don't have Visual C++ 2012 x64 installed, or you didn't put lua52.dll from the zip in the root of the server.

    It's the save causing it, I removed it and the error is gone.

    I'm getting spammed with this even without Oxide installed.

    Seems like a file mismatch then if you don't have oxide installed, do a fresh install of the server and if you want to install oxide on it you'll have to use the zip file I attached to my previous post until the official build is updated for todays changes.
