Alright,

I've pretty much had it with this issue. I run a Rust server from home on dedicated hardware and I've come across an issue that there is a chance throughout the course of it's uptime that it will freeze. When I say freeze I mean:

-Console stops scrolling
-Uptime timer stops
-No network information being sent, KB/s 0/0

The best way for me to describe it is that it's "focus shy". I can "unfreeze" it by giving it focus and hitting the return key once or twice then the network / uptime will start to show normal values and the console will start to scroll. During the freeze time it no longer shows in the Modded section of the server list, so players can't join.

I intially thought it was the hardware but I've since migrated across two different server setups and the issue is persistent across a brand new, unmoddified version of Rust. So no Oxide, no plugins will still freeze at some point. I thought it was a plugin issue since sometimes when I hit enter it spams the console with events that should've happened but didn't. I've got a logger plugin and previously I've tried to look at the outputs to see if I can find any clues but I've had no luck.

Another guess I had was that it was a conflicting tick rate on another server, maybe it couldn't keep up / got confused with handling multiple tick rates happening at the same time however, I've since paused my efforts in that realm until I can figure out / understand why this is happening.

I tried Google / search feature to see if I could find something but nothing turned up though I could've easily missed something. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would be extremely grateful. I didn't post any logs / specs etc because I don't know what's going to help determine the issue so just tell me what additional information would be handy.

Thanks for the help!

Is it a Windows machine and did you right-click on the server console?

Is it a Windows machine and did you right-click on the server console?

Hello sir!

Yes it's a Win10 Pro machine and I can either left click or right click in the console. As soon as I give the console window focus via mouse click, it comes back to life.

If I Alt + Tab to the window, I can observe it in it's frozen state.

You'd need to disable the QuickEdit mode of the Windows command window, which you can find under Properties/Defaults of its menu.

So many questions...

1.) When did I turn that on? Was it on by default? (I use Winreducer to slim my server OS so I might've accidently given bias. Now I get to go check.) lol

Worked great! Thanks!
