This is so funny because rust has one of the worst cheating situations and majority of their players are windows users, and theres lots of games that have anticheat that allows linux and have notably less significant cheating problems like marvel rivals. in reality rust doesn’t take cheating very seriously because if they did they would have more server side software that detects illegitimate behaviour like tons of other games do successfully… even most popular Minecraft servers have better functioning anti cheat that is completely server side than rust has while getting kernel access to your pc. its pathetic and lazy development tbh and this entire post from them reads like such extreme cope…
I gave up Rust when I moved to Linux.
They are changing the game from building a cozy PvP Minecraft, to a clan based wargame.
Cozy players, don’t cheat, clans do (Not all, of course).
Changing? Zergs have run servers since the first day I played almost 10 years ago. Small monuments are war zones the first few days of wipe. I don’t think that’s changed much since. Rust has never been cozy on any server with a population.
Rust PVE on community servers is pretty cozy.
Yeah I should’ve specified vanilla pvp servers. It’s always been a KoS hellhole. If anything, recent changes have made pvp less punishing.
