Hello, 

I am trying to setup a local Rust Server and use some plugins on it. I tested the following on two seperate Windows 10 machines, having the same outcome:

I have installed steamcmd, I have installed Rust, I have copied the latest Rust oxide, I have booted up a Rust server. So far, so good.

Log after bootup:

15:48 [Info] Latest compiler MD5: 5fbca0bf39b1c09ddf2fb3686b869242
15:48 [Info] Local compiler MD5: 5fbca0bf39b1c09ddf2fb3686b869242

15:48 [Info] Loaded plugin Unity v2.0.3756 by Oxide and Contributors
15:49 [Info] IP address from external API: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If I know place a plugin the the plugins folder (e.g. PlantDrop.cs), it prints the following:

15:50 [Warning] Compiler may have been closed by interference from security software or install is missing files
15:50 [Error] Error while compiling: compiler version disconnected

I only have default windows firewall and defender running and tried to deactivate both too. Same result.

What else can I try?

Thanks in advance.

Hey Wulf, thanks for your reply.

With "re-install" you mean downloading the Rust package and copy it to the steam/rust directory, right? I did that with the new update just now. And as mentioned I did complete new installations of steamcmd, rust and oxide on two independent machines. In the Rust folder is a "Compiler.exe" file, if that is the compiler needed.

Are there some other dependencies? Some libraries that need to be present?
