Hey, so I am pretty new to running a rust server, but after updating Rust via SteamCMD like this...

C:\Users\rust-admin\Desktop\Steam\steamcmd.exe +login anonymous +force_install_dir C:\Users\rust-admin\Desktop\Steam\steamapps\common\rust_dedicated +app_update 258550 validate +quit

I then start my server with the same command I ran prior to the update...

C:\Users\rust-admin\Desktop\Steam\steamapps\common\rust_dedicated\RustDedicated.exe -batchmode +server.ip *.*.*.* +server.port 21111 +rcon.ip *.*.*.* +rcon.port 21112 +rcon.web 1 +rcon.password "******" +server.hostname "[OSGN] Tortuga | Monthly" +server.description "Welcome to Tortuga!" +server.identity "Tortuga" +server.maxplayers 50 +server.worldsize 4500 +server.seed 196 +server.pve false +server.saveinterval 300

And nothing happens, nothing is outputted to the any logs that I could see and the command prompt window just sits there until I close it. I went through and closed all the background RustDedicated.exe processes that were left abandoned by my attempts.

I then tried starting the server with just...

C:\Users\rust-admin\Desktop\Steam\steamapps\common\rust_dedicated\RustDedicated.exe -batchmode

And it started running, generated a new "identity" file and started generating the world. So my question is...

Have I done something wrong? Is there something else I was supposed to do on wipe day besides update the server and restart?

Those IPs should read all zeros, displays weird for some reason.

Those IPs should read *.*.*.* the code block did something weird to them.

Have you checked your server log for errors?

Ahh ok I was wondering about that. Yeah I saw quite a few mentions of an output_log but wasn't able to find it under...

C:\Users\rust-admin\AppData\LocalLow\Facepunch Studios LTD\Rust

Is there somewhere else I should be looking?

Log files would be where -logfile is set to in your startup script.
