Rusty Nipples UK - update

AGTDenton — Wed, 05 Nov 2014 13:36:46 +0000

Hey Niplets!

Thanks for playing on our server for the last 6 months!!
We've decided not to renew the server on Saturday 8th for the following reasons:

- Increased server cost
- Decreased server reliability and performance
- Game updates are too slow and minor
- Not enough players

Stay joined to the group as we'd still like to host a server in the future, but the game (client and host) clearly needs more development!!

Power to the Niplets!

Server downtime this week - 20th Oct

Official response from Multiplay with regards to current and recent downtime.
Expect this week to be on and off. Sorry Niplets!!!

"We have identified a few problems with the most recent patch of Rust Experimental;

Firstly is a server exploit that causes the error message "Status_Disconnected", hitting F1 shows the error "Server Full - Disconnecting" within the Console.
This issue is caused by a recently found exploit where attackers will spam connection requests to rust experimental servers causing flooding the connection table of the server essentially blocking access to the server.

This has been found to cause a heavy increase in CPU usage on the server causing CPU restarts to trip under the Activity Log within Clanforge.

We have also identified a heavily increased demand for resources with a recent patch.
Services running experimental are quickly using all of their allocated CPU and memory and this is causing the server to crash.

At this time we would suggest switching to a Legacy or Oxide profile until a patch fix has been released for this issue."

Server is now Experimental

Hi Niplets

Thanks for playing on our Legacy Server for the last 4/5 months - we had lots of fun!!!

For the last few weeks the server has been quiet so we decided to migrate our server to the new Experimental Rust branch this morning.

Currently there are no addons or customisations. But we'll add some should any become available.

Have fun!!!
