Rust July 2022 Patch Notes – March 2, 2023

Drone

The Drone is a new player-controlled craftable deployable, operated from the Computer Station. Easily damaged from impacts. Can be picked up and deployed just about anywhere – but it doesn’t have the best signal, so you’ll need to control it using a nearby Computer Station.

Rust July 2022 Patch Notes – July 7, 2022

Combat Balance

Since the release of the Combat Update, we’ve monitored player feedback and overall we’re happy with the state of the gunplay in Rust. We will continue to listen, and make adjustments when needed.

The fuse time on the F1 grenade has been decreased by 0.5 to 2.5s. During combat testing we felt that grenades were a bit too easy to evade under most circumstances. Maybe some day we will allow players to cook grenades but right now that seems like it would be a bit too cheap of a tactic.

The M39 has had it’s role changed so it feels more like a superior SAR. Its fire rate has been increased and recoil modified.

We’ve also noticed that shotgun slugs were very underused so we have reduced the damage falloff so that shotgun users can opt to utilize them in mid range combat and stand a chance.

Lastly, we’ve fixed a long standing issue with viewmodels where the first shot shortly after ADSing would play the non-ADS animation and obscure the screen with the view model. All weapons should feel much more snappy now.

Loading Optimization

We worked on reducing the time it takes to load into servers this month. It will now queue up the loading of assets so they can continue being read from disk while the main thread spawns all of the world prefabs, which means better utilization of hardware. This also applies to the dedicated server so server owners may see some improvement with boot times.

Gunshot sounds

Alex finished up the remaining new gunshot sounds this month, including new silent shots for every gun. We’ll likely do another round of tuning on these in the next month or so to address some feedback we’ve gotten but we’d like to allow time for folk’s ears to adjust and the dust to settle before we dig too deep into that.

General QOL

Spray Can crosshair – Added a crosshair when free spraying

Mute and report contacts – Can now mute/unmute and report players from the contacts screen

Placement Rotation – Mailbox, BBQ, Medium Battery and Windmill now face toward the player by default

Return To Sender – Can now insert photos into mailbox

Inventory idle animation – Updated player inventory idle animation

Jackhammer Tapping – Jackhammer will hit hotspot every time without tap firing

UGC Admin Panel

To better help server admins moderate the content on a server, I’ve implemented a new section in the Server Admin tab that allows admins to easily see all of the User Generated Content on a server. This includes all painted signs, audio content on cassettes, carvable pumpkins, neon signs and pattern boomers.

As well as being able to see/hear the content, admins can now see who was responsible for the content and delete the content from the UI without having to travel to that entity. There is also a search field so all content created by a specific player can be found quickly.

Offensive Content Reporting

We’ve improved the process of reporting problematic content this month by implementing a new Offensive Content report type. When reporting offensive content a screenshot will now be included to better help admins act on the issue.

For server admins, there are new convars to better access these reports:
reportsServerEndpoint – if set, player reports on your server will be sent to this http address (as JSON)
printReportsToConsole – if set, player reports will be logged to the server log

For more information on using these new convars, please see the wiki.

Hapis Island updates

Along with numerous small bugfixes, we’ve added 3 new monuments to Hapis Island. Two of them in the desert, and one in the northern arctic.

We also fixed most of the mountain goat ore nodes, berry bushes not spawning, roadside spawns being overly sparse, and updated some existing monuments to be more in line with where they now stand on Procedural Map.

Some bugs still remain, but we’re ironing it out. Thanks for all the bug reports!

Harmony QOL

You can now load/reload harmony mods onto the server at runtime with:

harmony.load <name>

and unload with:

harmony.unload <name>

This will allow all server owners (vanilla or modded) to deploy fixes onto their servers without needing to restart them, as well as ease development of harmony mods.

Chat Filtering

We’re now using Steam’s chat filtering functionality to obscure strong language and slurs in chat and other text players can share in the game.

The filtering is applied on the client and can be customized in your Steam account preferences. If you haven’t changed these settings before then filtering would already be enabled.

DEBUG CAMERA ADDITIONS

A few new debug camera commands have been added this month for content creators to use. As with existing camera tools, these can only be used by server admins or in demo playback.

Physical Camera Properties

We’ve added the ability for the debug camera to use physical camera properties – in other words, you can choose from common camera sensor types and specify a focal length to mimic real world photography measurements.

Below are the newly added commands for using physical camera settings:
client.camphysical (1/0) – Enable/disable physical camera properties on debug camera
client.camphysicalsensortypes – Prints camera sensor types with corresponding number
client.camphysicalsensor – Select physical sensor for debug camera (use sensor ID number from the above ‘sensortypes’ convar)
client.camphysicalfocallength – Set focal length of the debug camera (Measured in mm)

Camera Info UI

Along with the above physical camera commands, we’ve also added camera information UI which can be enabled/disabled using the command client.showcaminfo 1/0

When enabled, this overlay will display the following information at the top of the screen:
Camera FOV
Depth of field aperture and blur values
Camera lock status (debugcamera_lock)
Sensor type (if using physical camera mode)
Focal length (if using physical camera mode)

MAP MAKER PREFABS

This month we’ve added some useful assets for community map makers – the most notable being the introduction of tiled cube prefabs. The current collection features over 60 cubes with materials including brick, wood, metal, concrete, plaster, metal, cloth and more.

Rust May 2022 update is now available to download on PC (Steam). According to the official Rust patch notes, the latest update added new changes, adjustments, and bug fixes.

Previously, a major update added balancing, gameplay changes, and a long list of bug fixes. Unfortunately, some players are still experiencing a number of issues while playing the game. Today’s Rust PC patch will fix a few of these issues.

Check out more details below.

Rust Patch Notes (Above Ground trains Update) – May 5, 2022

Above-Ground Trains

The above-ground Work Cart closely resembles the underground one, but now has coupling points at each end that can connect to other train cars. The bogies (also known as trucks – the wheel assemblies) have also been updated to rotate with the track more realistically.

We’ve taken some static train wagon models that we had and made them functional. These don’t actually do anything special yet, but they spawn along with Work Carts on the new rail sidings and they can be shunted around.

The Work Cart train engines take low grade fuel as usual. Their target speeds at low/medium/high throttle are constant, but their acceleration and pulling ability are affected by gravity and how many couples wagons they’re pulling as you’d expect. If your long train can’t make it up a hill, it’s possible to use multiple Work Carts in a multi-engine coupled setup for more power.

Coupling happens automatically when wagons collide at a low to moderate speed. High speed collisions will not couple, and may take damage instead. Uncoupling is manual – simply interact with the coupling point.

Rail Network Branch Lines

The rail network has received secondary lines that branch off the main line and merge back onto it. This all happens entirely procedurally with no need for predetermined prefabs aside from the rail mesh itself, which results in a very flexible system that can cover a wide range of use cases as we expand the rail network in the future. For now, these branch lines are just where the trains are spawning. We will see how things work out and go from there.

Rail and road foliage improvements

The foliage / bushes spawning next to rails and roads have received some optimizations to eliminate their overhead as you move around the world. They now also spawn in larger clusters with varying coverage, resulting in some dense areas and some open areas, which allowed us to also reduce their total count as a performance improvement without having it affect the visuals too much.

Zipline Improvements

Ziplines seemed to be well used last month, but there were too many cases of ziplines failing to connect, leading to zipline platforms with no connections. I’ve improved the procedural generation process this month in a few different ways.

Ziplines are now better at routing around obstacles, allowing ziplines to go via 2 separate mid-points before arriving at their destination. I also added zipline arrival points at Sewer Branch, Stables, Lighthouse and Dome.

All of these changes combined have improved the number of ziplines on procedural maps by about 40%.

Death screen Improvements

The death screen has been improved this month with many NPC’s getting custom icons and proper translations. We’ve also improved how we show your death information if you suicide while downed. Previously doing this would result in the death screen showing your death as a suicide, preventing you from seeing the name and weapon of your attacker. This is now fixed and you will see the last attack details even if you suicide while downed.

Client Performance

Client performance was identified as a growing issue last month so we all put some time aside to try and improve performance this month. We’ve made good progress in some key areas:

• Fixed a regression introduced last month that was generating a lot of garbage and causing stutters. This was deemed high enough priority that we released it in a hotfix early in the month.
• Identified a bug that was preventing lasers and some other heavy systems from budgeting their performance correctly (This was also affecting server performance).
• Significantly reduced network traffic from planters and plants getting watered by sprinklers.

Performance is always a high priority for us and we’ve got more improvements being worked on for future updates.

General QOL

SAM Site Damage – SAM Site can no longer be damaged by bullet type damage

Junkpile scientists – NPCs have returned to junkpile spawns

Community UI Improvements

We’ve integrated several pull requests from the Community UI Github project this month, bringing improvements like blocking keyboard input while in text boxes, better item and skin rendering as well as fixing a handful of bugs. Thank you to Ailtop, Jake-Rich, shooter46 and Mughisi for the contributions.

We have some more improvements to this system in the works, specifically to improve rendering and network performance on rapidly updated UI displays.

Hapis Island

Some of you have been waiting for Hapis Island to return after last year’s graphical overhaul broke it. This is just a little heads-up to tell you that we are aiming for it to finally go live again in next month’s patch.

Twitch Drops

Starting from today till May 12th 23:59UTC Twitch drops are enabled for Rust Twitch streamers. You can earn special and unique skins simply by watching your favourite Rust Twitch streamers.

During the final 24 hours of the Rust Twitch drop campaign, all drops will be moved to general.

The post Rust May 5, 2022 Update Patch Notes – Official appeared first on UpdateCrazy.

Rust Zipline & Rail update is now available to download on PC (Steam). According to the official Rust patch notes, the latest update added rail network to the game. Any map size 4250 or larger should have a single railway in the shape a ring going around the entire island. Apart from this, Rust April 7 patch also includes various bug fixes.

Previously, a major update added balancing, gameplay changes, and a long list of bug fixes. Unfortunately, some players are still experiencing a number of issues while playing the game. Today’s Rust PC patch will fix a few of these issues. Check out more details below.

Rust Patch Notes (Zipline & Rail Update) – April 7, 2022

Procedural Rail Network

The first iteration of the procedural rail network is now live! Any map size 4250 or larger should have a single railway in the shape a ring going around the entire island.

This is just a tech test / proof of concept for now, so there’s no official gameplay element to it yet. Please report any weird looking areas you might encounter.

In the near future, you can expect driveable above-ground trains.

Powerline Ziplines

Powerlines have had an upgrade this month, with new platforms and ziplines now appearing across procedurally generated maps. To access the zipline you’ll need to climb to the top of the new platforms that are attached to some powerlines. Once at the top, you can use the zipline to travel to another platform further along the chain of powerlines or to nearby monuments.

You can speed up on the line by holding forward and jump off at anytime with the jump key (just be careful of the drop!). Colliding with anything solid while on the line will also knock you off the line, this includes trees, players and vehicles, so use with care.

We’ll be improving the generation of these over time to connect more monuments, as well as exploring ways for players to place their own ziplines in the future.

Achievements

Since launching out of early access in 2018 Rust’s achievements have served as a way for new players to learn the basics of the game. Unfortunately they haven’t kept up with the amount of new content added to the game every month so we’ve made a set of 18 new achievements to earn. As usual, achievements can only be earned on official servers.

Monument Lighting Continued

We have continued improving the lighting setup for our monuments. This month we have focused mainly on the monuments such as; Lighthouse, Fishing Villages, Stables, Excavator, Arctic Research Base and Airfield.

The degree of improvements varies depending on the monument. Some of the newer monuments like Fishing Villages, Stables and Excavator received only minor updates. This includes changes such as adding darkening volumes to interiors, adding new ambient lights and enabling interior lights during the daytime.

Other monuments like Lighthouse and Arctic Research base received more extensive upgrades, which includes a whole lot of new lights, that will make the monuments significantly brighter during nighttime and more atmospheric during daytime.

General QOL

• Landmine Update – The landmine has received a visual refresh
• Loading Background – Loading screen image will now alternate between images
• Magnet Crane – Further improvements to the junkyard magnet crane handling

Easter Event

On April 14th at 19:00 BST / 18:00 UTC / 14:00 EST we’ll be releasing an optional update to enable this year’s Easter egg hunt event, more details to follow in an upcoming blog on the 14th.

Changelog

• Powerline ziplines
• 18 new achievements
• Server analytics on official servers
• Added dog tags (for event use only)
• Generic snowmobile model updated to include visible lights

Rust update (March 3, 2022) is now available to download on PC (Steam). According to the official Rust patch notes, the latest update added brings new changes, fixes, balancing, and adjustments.

Previously, a major update added balancing, gameplay changes, and a long list of bug fixes. Unfortunately, some players are still experiencing a number of issues while playing the game.

Today’s Rust PC patch will fix a few of these issues. Check out more details below.

Rust Patch Notes (March 2022 Update) – March 3, 2022

Monument Lighting

This month we’ve made visual improvements to some of our older monuments to get them more consistent with the quality of our new content. This includes changes such as adding darkening volumes to interiors to prevent them from becoming too bright during the day, adding new lights and effects, tweaking existing lighting and other minor visual improvements.

As a result, the interiors should feel much darker and more atmospheric. The monuments that we’ve changed so far are the Supermarket, Oxum’s Gas Station, Bandit Camp and Launch Site and we plan to improve more of them over time.

Soundtrack Release

This month we’re really excited to announce the release of Rust’s official soundtrack – available now on Steam, music streaming services and a handful of digital stores. This initial release (Volume 1) is comprised of 29 tracks clocking in around 1 hour and 45 minutes of music.

Improved vehicle body visuals

This month we’ve been exploring new ways to improve the visual experience when driving vehicles. While we initially explored dedicated viewmodels for vehicles (floating arms in front of the camera) we settled on using the full body mesh with tweaked hand logic. You can see this most obviously on the Snowmobile, the driver seat of Modular Cars and the Workcart, while it’s visible but less obvious on the Minicopter and Scrap Transport Helicopter.

Magnet Crane Cleanup

We looked at the junkyard magnet crane this month to see if some bugs and the general feel of it could be improved.

It’s now a bit more stable to drive, and old issues like the driver not quite visually syncing up with the cabin as it rotates are fixed.

Another concern with the crane was that with its controls being pretty complex, it was easy to burn through your fuel just learning them. To combat that, we’ve reduced the fuel it uses at idle by 80%, and the maximum fuel it uses when not holding anything by 25%. So if you’re just practicing moving the magnet arm and rotating the cabin, your fuel will only be being consumed at 20% of the rate it was before.

Snowmobile Cleanup

Added some small final touches to the snowmobiles.

Most were minor bug fixes, but an obvious one is that animations are improved, with the driver now getting visually bumped around at times, and showing an idle animation cycle. Audio is improved as well, with the snowmobile revving more realistically when driving up hills.

For game balance, the arctic base snowmobile no longer comes loaded with any fuel.

World Model Update

There are some assets that need world models and some that needed refreshing so towards the end of last year Tom completed a number of new and updated world models, these are now in-game!

General QOL

• Slower Car Decay – Cars decay 4x slower when left outdoors
• Alt Look Restrictions – Restrict how far up a player can look with alt look while looking down
• Water catchers & barrels now decay – Should lower the number of catchers and barrels that are left outside
• Large Furnace Heat – Large furnaces now provide comfort and heat
• Monument Loot Hiding – Monument loot no longer spawns when players are within 20m of the spawn point
• Phantom Footsteps- We believe we’ve now fixed a long standing issue of hearing phantom footsteps

Night Vision and post fixes

We’ve had reports of the NVG effect being blown out for a while. When we looked into it, we realised that it only looks incorrect on procedural maps.

After a lot of digging, we found that there was a post process volume placed inside one of moon pools set to global rather than local erroneously.

This means that it was being applied all of the time and messing with exposure settings. This also means that it’s had an effect on the overall exposure of the game for while also, although this has been a bit less apparent than with NVG.

Search and loading screen update

The loading screen was long overdue for a revamp, you’ll now see server stats and a more clear tooltip sections while loading into the server of choice.

In a future update, the background image will randomly change through a preselected gallery on each load.

Additionally, we’ve added support for tag filtering to the server browser to make finding servers of interest easier.

Changelog

• Added support for tag filtering to the server browser
• Added new in game music
• Added 14 new world models
• Updated loading screen
• Improved arm and body visuals on some vehicles

Rust Patch Notes (October 28 Update)

Happy Halloween!

The Rust Halloween event is upon us! We’ve released a mandatory patch containing lots of spooky features, enabled the Trick or Treat event, NPC scarecrows and much more!

This year we’ve added a new addition to the Halloween event: Frankenstein’s monster!

To get started building your own monster first you must slay scarecrows and mummies which roam the lands. Once you’ve collected a head, torso and legs. Craft yourself a Frankenstein’s table and place the body parts within the table, awaken your new pet monster and control it by pressing “P”.

The monster will follow your orders without question. It’ll follow you around the map, defend you if attacked and help slay foes you wish to attack.

If you’re having trouble accessing the pet menu or already have a key bound to “P” then use the following console command: bind X +pets

Trick Or Treat Event

Once roughly every two in-game days, a candy hunt event will begin. You’ll have 3 minutes to collect as many candies as you can. The top 3 players are given special loot bags as a reward. These candies and loot bags can be opened for various types of loot ranging from scrap all the way up to an M249!

If you don’t make the podium, that’s okay. The Candies you collect can be upgraded for better loot.

There are various items available to help you during your hunt. The Pumpkin Bucket will allow instant pickup of candies and the Scarecrow Wrap and ghost costume will provide you with advantage via Candy Vision.

The Halloween event will run until November 4th.

Have fun!

New Halloween Items

This year we’ve added two new Halloween themed items to the Rust store.

Skull Rock

The Skull can now be purchased at the Rust item store.

Pumpkin Carving

Display your artistic side with the new carvable pumpkin item.

The carvable pumpkin can now be purchased at the Rust item store.

We’re also running a pumpkin carving competition!

The post Rust PC Update Patch Notes – August 6, 2021 appeared first on UpdateCrazy.

Rust update is now available for PC (Steam) players. According to the official Rust 1.03 patch notes, the latest update Wounding update and Voice Props DLC.

Players now go to a crawling state when wounded in most cases, instead of being fully incapacitated. They can move around slowly and use doors. They also get a bit more health than they used to in the old incapacitated state. This might allow you to move to relative safety.

The older incapacitated wounded state still occurs in the following situations:

• If you get looted while in crawling wounded state.
• If you die from fall damage.
• If you crawl too deep into water.

Previously, a big update balancing, gameplay changes, and a long list of bug fixes. Unfortunately, some players are still experiencing a number of issues while playing the game.

The post Rust Patch Notes (Wounding Update & Voice Props DLC) – July 2, 2021 appeared first on UpdateCrazy.

Rust console update 1.03 is now available for PS4 and Xbox One players. According to the official Rust 1.03 patch notes, the latest update resolves addressed issues related to Rust crashing, stuttering/lag, framerate drop, and more. Apart from this, Rust console edition 1.03 also fixed Rust PS4 cashing.

Previously, a big update added balancing, gameplay changes, and a long list of bug fixes. Unfortunately, some players are still experiencing a number of issues while playing the game.

Today’s Rust console edition patch 1.03 will fix a few of these issues. Check out more details below.

Rust 1.03 patch notes (Xbox Hotfix 1.03.2)

Fixed random freezing on Xbox consoles

We’ve resolved an issue with the Xbox renderer that was causing consoles to temporarily lock up for 4-5 seconds, resulting in a rather unfair death and/or being kicked from the server.

Fixed high frequency crash when navigating the crafting menu

A UI bug causing a common crash was fixed.

Fixed high frequency crash when mining ore

A sound system bug causing a common crash was fixed.

Fixed ladders that could not be climbed

A bug in the world generation resulted in the collision of some ladders to become skewed, causing piles of bodies to accumulate at the bottom of the hole in Oxum’s. This has been resolved.

Fixed team system rejoining bug

We’ve fixed a bug causing players to be unable to rejoin their team after logging out.

Fixed missing torch and rock on spawn

Occasionally your rock and torch may have been missing when respawning. Sorry about that!

Fixed spawn point distribution

You may have experienced some mild deja vu when respawning. We’ve fixed the distribution, so spawn points should now be a little more spread out around the map.

Missing skins for Deluxe/Ultimate Editions

There was a problem with the skins rollout for players who purchased the Deluxe or Ultimate Edition packs, which is now fixed. There are still some known problems with skins to be addressed in patch 1.04, and it would be unfair to allow more money to be spent on skins until these issues have been resolved, so we’ve left the skin store closed until then.

Fixed voice chat for some Xbox headsets

A subset of Xbox headsets were not working properly, we’ve made some improvements to our voice system to detect these correctly.
