Solved Updated server, Oxide not starting (not installed)

    So I updated my server, downloaded the latest oxide (5:30pmish EST) and copied and overwrote existing files but Oxide does not seem to be launching. I've tried twice and reinstalled Oxide twice.

    Any ideas?

    Check your logs and RustDedicated_Data/output_log.txt for errors.

    First, it takes a while for Oxide and your .bat file to start up. Secondly, check your task manager to see if you have any RustDedicated.exe online, and make sure to exit them out.

    It shouldn't take long, but if it takes over 30 seconds for anything to show, then something is likely wrong. There is actually activity going on, even if you don't see anything usually, the console just doesn't show all of it.

    You don't have Oxide installed. Make sure you install it last, as it is a mod.

    Did I miss something, it was pretty easy to install last time, all I had to do is drop the files into the folder. Oxide worked before the update. I updated the server and downloaded the new Oxide files and overwrote them on in the server folder.

    That's it, but you'd see Oxide's console if it was installed. Make sure you overwrite all files and that you don't do any Rust updates after.

    So I need to remove:
    C:\steamCMD\steamcmd.exe +login anonymous +force_install_dir C:\RustServer\ +app_update 258550 validate +quit

    From the beginning of my batch file?

    If that is what you use to start the server, then yes. Update checking should only be done when there is an update.

    Well I removed the line from the top and it still doesn't launch Oxide.
    Any idea why it wouldn't be loading Oxide?
    Uploaded fresh log.

    Here is my Batch File. (Sensitive information removed)
    RustDedicated -batchmode -nographics +server.ip 0.0.0.0 +rcon.ip 0.0.0.0 +server.port 28015 +rcon.port 28016 +rcon.password "SomethingYouDontNeedToKnow" +server.maxplayers 30 +server.hostname "Adventure Land Douglas, GA" +server.identity "Blade1" +server.level "Procedural Map" +server.seed MySeed +server.worldsize 4000 +server.saveinterval 300 +server.globalchat true +server.description "Amazon3d's attempt at a safe haven.

    If Oxide was correctly installed, it would launch it. If your server is loading fine without it, then it isn't installed. Oxide mods Rust's main DLL, so Oxide would load if it was installed fully and modded. If your server is not starting though (which it looks like from the logs), it's possible you're using an old Oxide build and essentially downgrading your server to the point of it not working. Always make sure your use a compatible version of Oxide.

    I just downloaded the latest Oxide before I started this thread. I think I had this issue previously. Its almost like a UAC issue. It seems like its running a cached version of the DLLs/Executables and not opening the latest version. I'm running this on Server 2012 DC.

    I checked an the server is working, I'm connected now.

    Make sure all RustDedicated.exe processes are closed, and that no software is interfering with files being copied over.

    Rebooting server, then going to download the update again, (is there a way to prevent losing bps?), and install oxide again. Will let you know how it goes.

    Don't delete files, and they won't be wiped. Blueprints are stored in server/identity/UserPersistence.db.

    ...... The issue seems to be stemming from the shortcut I made to the batch file. Previously I was using C:/rustserver and when oxide wouldn't install I created a new folder, C:/RustOxideServer. Well the batch file had a start in location for the first folder and that appears to have been calling it to run the old executable.

    I am updating the correct folder now and will apply the new Oxide to it when the download finishes.

    Update: That fixed it! Thanks for sticking with me!
