This is a major disadvantage during night time

Please fix quickly

Thanks - We'll look into this.

Update: This issue should now be resolved with Fridays client update.

What clarifies as "suitable moments"? If I may ask.

We only attempt to stop GC during combat and while moving, any other actions we do not attempt to prevent GC.

Well, you can see why in the actual clip bottom left (garbage collector):

Before freeze - 2384 MB

After freeze - 2136MB

From https://rust.facepunch.com/blog/february-update -

If you have a lot of RAM you can help the algorithm by increasing the gc.buffer convar. The default value is 256MB, which means it will perform a collection at suitable moments after 128MB (or 50% of gc.buffer) and it will always perform a collection at any moment after 256MB (or 100% of gc.buffer). We expect the default value to be entirely sufficient for the entity and player counts on official servers.

2384 - 2136 = 248MB (pretty close to 256 as hardlimit)

I always set gc.buffer to max value of 2048 and I rarely get any lagspikes :)

This is the correct answer and with good responses.

Hey Facepunch, when u fix this?

Unfortunately, GC has to happen and there is no way around it, we're always trying to reduce memory allocations when and where possible and attempting to force garbage collections outside of vital tasks such as combat.

Unity 2019 has an experimental feature called incremental garbage collection which we'll explore in the coming months. Incremental garbage collection spreads the collection over multiple frames instead of causing one freeze. This is yet to be tested so we can't make any promises.

You seem to be someone to address issues with. /sil isn’t working. I heard that it’s a known issue and I was just wondering if you guys know when it will be fixed. Thanks!

/sil is a command for the signartist modded plugin. You'd need to contact the author of the plugin if you're having issues.

The server does no rendering, shaders are stripped while building the server.

You can safely ignore these warnings.

Well with the amount of recent false bans going around, this gives me hope. I got banned yesterday, coincidentally after reinstalling my Nvidia drivers while playing. Which coincidentally afterwards my game started crashing. About 20 crashes in 2 days later, I get banned while playing Savas.

Looks like that EAC change from the QOL update kinnnnnnda f**ked everything up

If you dont mind me asking, how long did it take for them to unban you? I sent in an appeal and described what happened but I have no idea when to expect a reply

Paging u/Alistair_Mc , is there a confirmed uptick in EAC false bans recently?

Yes, unfortunately, a number of accounts were falsely banned.

There was one edge case in a cheat detection which caused a false positive which was found by EAC from player appeals. All the affected accounts have since had their ban removed.

We'll investigate and reach out to EAC.

Edit:

I'd expect this to rather an edge case as none of our test systems shows this issue and other factors could be at play. Don't jump on the EAC hate bandwagon and don't expect a sudden FPS boost.

We'll be releasing a fix for this shorty.

Can you recall which walls on the oil rig they walked through?

[BUG]When combining a Holosight with a Lasersight their accuracy bonuses seem to nullify causing the weapon spread to be worse.

I tested this with a couple weapons by aiming strait up in the air and firing. When the lasersight was off the bullets stayed within the holosights red circle. When the lasersight was on some bullets strayed outside the red circle and overall were less clumped together. In the beginning of the spray it wasn't noticeable but near the middle/end of each spray cycle their was a difference.

I could be wrong about this as the difference is small but I thought I should report it.

Thanks, we'll check on this.

just keeps repeating it, i initially got onto the server but oxide was not working so i updated oxide again and now this

Other than that this QoL update is looking real solid guys

This is an Oxide related issue, you'll need to wait for an update from their side.
