Greetings everyone, I am entirely new to this and have never hosted a Rust server before, so I wanted to make that clear from the start. My issue is that the server operates smoothly until I upload Oxide, at which point I encounter an error that causes the server to halt during loading. I am uncertain about the cause of this problem.
Error:
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
