Cant make private server

[rule 6]

Ive followed instructions, making the .bat files and the like. When I launch RustDeditcated.exe, it will either say that the map couldnt be loaded because it doesnt exist(?) or it will give me a bright pink screen and the unity crash thing will pop up. What am I doing wrong?

not adding any modifications

Launch with .bat file and not with RustDedicated.exe. Post your .bat file if it still doesn't work.

[rule 6]

launching with the .bat file doesn't open the game but here's the first thing that pops up when launched:

C:\rustserver\RustServerFiles>RustDedicated.exe -batchmode +server.identity "ProcGen" +server.hostname "Snitzel" +server.level "Procedural Map" +server.seed 2 +server.worldsize 3000 +server.maxplayers 69 +rcon.ip 127.0.0.1 +rcon.port 28016 +server.port 28015 +rcon.password "123456seven" +server.description "Ted Pommes is.... \namazing" +server.url "https://discord.gg/DPKWPr4" +server.headerimage "https://i.imgur.com/sqGFVW9.png" +rcon.password "123456seven" -logfile "C:\rustserver\RustServerFiles\logs.log"

Make sure the .bat file is in the same folder as RustDedicated.exe. Also, make sure you are showing file extensions. If you are using Windows, make sure the file name is rust.bat and not rust.bat.txt.

If you still have trouble, try starting with a simple startup script like this:

start RustDedicated.exe -batchmode +server.port 28999 +server.level "Procedural Map" +server.seed 12345 +server.worldsize 4000 +server.maxplayers 2

Save it as rust.bat and make sure it is in folder as described above. If it still doesn't work, try launching SteamCMD and make sure your server is up to date and that none of the files are missing.

I made sure the files were up to date, and saved rust.bat but I still get the same issue even using the example file

It looks like all of your files are in C:\rustserver\RustServerFiles. Is that where RustDedicated.exe is? Is that also where your .bat file is? Is there a folder named 'server' there as well? If you haven't successfully started the server yet, move the contents of the 'server' folder to another drive, or your desktop or USB drive. Just make sure it's empty and then try the rust.bat again. You probably don't need the files, but I always save stuff until I'm sure I no longer need it.

It really sounds like the server started at one point and it saved some files in that folder and now it's trying to launch the server using a different config but it is looking for your old map. Strange.

I only ask those questions because I used SteamCMD to install Rust server and I just let SteamCMD install to default which is:

C:\SteamCMD\steamapps\common\rust_dedicated

Very similar to standard Steam file structure. This is where my .bat file is located along with RustDedicated.exe. When you launch .bat file it should launch RustDedicated.exe and use config and server files in:

C:\SteamCMD\steamapps\common\rust_dedicated\server\my_server_identity

I did not name mine so it used 'my_server_identity'. You may have given it a name so it might be named something else.

Also, is there nothing in C:\rustserver other than another folder named RustServerFiles?

[rule 6]

The only thing in C:\rustserver other than RustServerFiles is the SteamCMD file. Should I put the SteamCMD in the RustServerFiles file as well? Yes, my bat file is in the same location as the RustDedicated.exe.

Watch and follow this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGY78sN0Yf0

use this as your batfile.

RustDedicated.exe -batchmode +server.port 28015 +server.level "Procedural Map" +server.seed 20190702 +server.worldsize 5000 +server.maxplayers 20 +server.hostname "my server" +server.identity "86754458" +rcon.ip 127.0.0.1 +rcon.port 28016 +rcon.password 18646473478auhje +rcon.web 1 +query_port 28016 +nav_disable false -nologs -load

Launch steam.

open inbound and outbound UDP ports 28015,28016 in win firewall advanced settings. If this dont work open the ports in your router. though you really only NEED to open 28015

run the bat file in an admin (cmd (64bit version)) window

when it finishes doing what it does, run game. click play, press "F1" key, in console window inmput zone, click and type "client.connect localhost:28015" for players that dont see your server they type "client.connect 192.***.***.***:28015" (replace this with your ip4 address which you can get by open cmd prompt and typing "ipconfig")
