[BUG] After today's Halloween update you seem to have updated the UI for F7 reporting. While it seems to be an improvement for making bug suggestions or offering feedback, the "Report A Player" interface leaves a lot to be desired.

After wanting to submit a report for a potential cheater, I encountered the following:

  • Gone is the dropdown list of players in-game with the most recent offender at the top of the list. This has been replaced with a very pretty UI of all players in alphabetical order.

  • The most recent offender is not listed first, or at the top, so you have to hunt to find his name. This can be difficult if you have forgotten his name and have to browse through every name. It might not jump out at you straight away and can lead to confusion.

  • Looking through the names that were there I noticed a number of users from a server I was on previously -- not on my current server -- and who were not suspected cheaters in any sense. This contributes even more to the overall confusion.

  • After struggling to find the player who killed me using this new interface, I alt-tabbed out of Rust, launched Firefox, loaded battlemetrics, and looked through the list of players for the name I would recognize -- and I found him!

  • After tabbing back into Rust with the Report screen still up I found he wasn't even on the list at all, so I couldn't report him.

This new interface makes reporting suspected cheaters exponentially confusing and more difficult. I'm happy that hitting F7 no longer launches a separate web browser which hogs RAM, but not at the expense of making reporting difficult, if not impossible. Please take another look at this because in its current form, the F7 Reporting Interface is completely broken.

You should be able to click on "report player" on the death screen to report the player that killed you.

Failing that the last person that killed you should always be first in the list.

Could you please put the person to last wound you second in that list?

Sometimes the cheater downs you and has his non-cheating friend finish you.

Yes
