Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas! Given the holidays, this is a pretty slow week for Rust development. Some team members are still making commits, however, I wouldn’t hold your breathe for an update before Santa comes.

The game is in a pretty good state. No crashes in days, performance is smooth. Unfortunately, load times are getting out of hand after about 2 days of running (taking minutes in some cases). Also, the invisible building peice bug is still in play meaning some people can just waltz into certain houses. Remember, put your cupboards and valuables up high and make sure no one can just walk up from your first floor! For full details on the state of the game, please see my previous post).

I'm out of town celebrating Christmas with my family so don’t expect much in the form of updates in the next couple days. I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!

p.s. Our modded server is back up. It's no longer battle, just vanilla RustEssentials to help test out the new version. Hop and in and check out out: client.connect 8.2.120.16:28023
