It looks like the vulnerability in the uLink networking library which rust is using was fixed. We could verify this on our installations. The update is not yet live on the dev or stable branch, but we've update all our official servers and facepunch updates theirs - and it looks very good so far. It will probably go "live" in the next two days. Once the fix is 100 percent a fix for the issue, news on http://playrust.com/ will appear and the update will be released by the developers.

Seems all the servers are back up and exploits are being worked on according to Gary.

So after some investigating it appears that the servers are receiving DDOS attacks. Not the usual, send loads of traffic at a server until it chokes and can’t take any more ddos attack. It kind of seems like someone is periodically grabbing the server list and attacking any occupied server with a bunch of empty packets. http://osgamers.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Z9vzOqe.png We use a networking library called uLink. It works well for us. We can get 300 people on a single server. We’re happy. But it is not without its issues. I get the feeling that it’s not that widely used – so there’s a lot of relatively simple exploits that haven’t been found. We’ve reported issues. A lot. But always seem to receive the same responses. Basically – it’s going to be fixed in the future, in an update that is planned for the next month, that never really gets released. http://osgamers.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/96MN4oM.png I’ve optimistically reported the latest issues to them, but we’re not that hopeful that we’ll get a timely fix. We’d love to take matters into our own hands but we can’t look into the issues and fix them ourselves because all their code is obfuscated. So we’re stuck. We have to either convince them to fix the exploits for us, use a different networking library.. or write our own. This is something we have to have a long discussion about internally. In the meantime we have to apologise for the ddos attacks. We know it’s not totally our fault – but at the same time it is. If you have exploits then people are going to exploit them. That’s just how the world works. We hope they get bored soon and everyone can get back to playing and we can get back to making. Until that happens we all have to suffer through this crap – which unfortunately we can do nothing but apologise for.

I see a log file in the /logs folder, but it doesn't hold any information really. Does anyone know if kills and other activity are stored in any event log? I'm assuming not, as I don't see that information anywhere. If so it would be nice so we could start developing a way to track statistics on most kills, most resources etc....

Hey guys, some people are having getting started in the game and we don't have an official guide yet so I'll just leave this here as a placeholder in the meantime. Upon logging into rust for the first time, you will quickly learn it is very difficult to stay alive, Here are some helpful tips to help you survive your first night : How do I open my inventory? Press Tab How do I get wood? You can get wood by hitting a tree. However, it's better to find a pile of logs in the world - these will give you quite a bit more wood per hit How do I get food? You can gather meat (currently chicken breasts) by killing any animal and hitting its corpse with a melee weapon. The meat will appear in your inventory, but it will be raw How do I cook food? You need to make a camp fire (5 wood) from the crafting menu, and place it the food into it by holding use (E or mouse3) while aiming at the camp fire and selecting 'Open'. You can then put the food into the appropriate slots. Pressing E on the camp fire will also turn it on or off How do I place items? Drag the item into a slot near the bottom of the screen, this is known as your belt or 'quickslot' and will activate when you press the corresponding key How do I get stone? There are various resource nodes distributed throughout the level, they work the same as a tree, except you receive various types of stone/ores What do I do with ores? You can smelt ores into their constituent components by putting them into a furnace, much like a camp fire works Does my stuff save when I quit? Yes, your items are saved, however your body is still in the world 'sleeping' and can be killed by anyone who finds it. It is recommended to log off in hard to see places, or inside your own shelter What's a sleeping bag for? A sleeping bag is effectively a respawn point, You will spawn at your most recently placed sleeping bag when you press 'Camp Respawn' upon death. Be warned, you can only spawn at a sleeping bag once every 5 minutes. What button opens the console? F1 You can also read a community driven wiki here http://playrustwiki.com/ - It contains some useful information! Some helpful tips: Using voice chat (v) can be an effective way to determine another players mindset, or to communicate that you are friendly, be warned however many people are liars and thieves and will claim friendly under the guise of murdering you and taking all your stuff. It's best not to build your shelter close to resource areas or other high traffic areas where curious players may decide to break in and see what you have Stay away from people who are armed! If your framerate is lagging hard and you've already gone fullscreen at a lower resolution to no avail, you can turn off grass by typing 'grass.on false' into the console (F1) Post any additional questions and I will update this as often as I can, Hope that helps a bit!
