I see I am not the only one thankfully. I'm having the same issue on a test server. Tried a clean install, same issue. Not using staging branch.

Update: Tested on another machine and Oxide installed/started fine. I installed the Rust server + Oxide the exact same way on both the test and the 2nd machine.

I copied the 'RustDedicated_Data\Managed' folder from the working machine to the non-working test server and Oxide works after overwriting the Managed folder files.

I did run Rust update each time, maybe something changed with Rust Windows Server?

This fixed it! I spun up a server on a different machine and copy/pasted the Managed folder into my main server's folder and it is now working properly. Thank you for your help Wulf and bran!

Found the issue for anyone who experiences this in the future, it was in my SteamCMD command line, I had "validate" instead of "-validate".
