How to play rust on linux

As of right now, Facepunch doesn’t support Linux. But this doesn’t mean you can not play the game via Proton!

EDIT (14/11/2020) : The game now works as excpected with Proton 5.13-2 — You’ll still need to press F1 and use the «connect» command as seen in this guide to connect to non-EAC servers.

EDIT (26/10/2020) : You’ll need Proton 5.13-1 to make the game work (This version is available through Steam; in the game Properties) (The connect command is bugged and doesn’t work)

When downloading the game on Linux you will download the Linux binaries that are now outdated (and have an error when you launch the game), you will need to select a Proton version in the properties of the game (Right click on the game -> Properties) :
(Note: You’ll the version 5.13-2 or higher version of Proton, just select it from the menu!)

Now you can just Launch the game and it should just work! BUT, you cannot click «Play» or else it will crash the game, to connect to server, please read below.

Since servers without EAC are not shown in the server list and that if you click «Play» the game will crash, here is a list of community made server that have EAC disabled (Made by JimDeadlock) :

You can rent Rust server from Server Hosting company, here are some trusted examples:

2020 Playing Rust on Linux (Facepunch game)

Nov 18, 2020 update: Proton works again! You must go into game settings and force use of the latest Proton 5.13. See article updates at the end for other notices.

TL;DR Summary

I will occasionally update this post over time.
You can run the dedicated server and Rust client on the same computer for local play using SteamPlay on Linux.
The dedicated server must have EAC disabled.
You must connect to the server from the Rust client by pressing F1 key and using client.connect :28015 .

This guide was last tested with the Modular Vehicles Update (July 2, 2020). I do not have Sunburn DLC.

Warning 1: Disable NPCs because it will crash when one dies. This appears to affect the dedicated server when being run with proton.

Warning 2: Putting your local server on the Internet is not recommended with EAC disabled (anti-cheat). This is the only way rust can be played with Linux.

Playing multiplayer

There’s plenty of multiplayer servers available if you want to play with other people.

My favorite server is Rust Deadlock. You can access it quickly by binding the following command to F6 key.

bind f6 "client.connect play.deadlock.com:1333"

Or you can bookmark this link and open it in your browser. Or you can run the following shell alias for the deadlock command to connect.

alias deadlock='xdg-open steam://connect/play.deadlock.com:1333'

Background

Ever since Facepunch stopped supporting their Linux client, I’ve been hungry to play. I’m one of the few people who played on Linux, enjoyed the game, and didn’t get a refund.

I regularly browse ProtonDB for Rust in the hopes that a Rust update gets a platinum rating with EAC working for online multiplayer with Windows and Mac players. However, until then I noticed people were rating that gameplay works with EAC disabled.

I had an itch to scratch for playing Rust and this is my solution.

My system specs

OS: Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS
Hardware that’s relevant for Rust and Linux:
- Intel Core i7
- 32GB RAM
- ASRock Radeon RX 5700 XT (AMD GPU)
- SSD hard drive
Audience

I’m going to assume you know your way around Linux and the Terminal. For now, it’s late and I just got this working. I may expand this post over time to be more beginner friendly. For now, this “guide” is for more advanced users.

Installing Rust and dedicated server

Install Steam, SteamCMD ( sudo apt-get install steamcmd ), and enable SteamPlay for all games.

Install Rust for Windows from Steam normally; on my computer it ends up in the following install locaion.
```
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Rust 
```
Install Rust Dedicated Server for Windows. Run steamcmd and enter the following commands.
```
@sSteamCmdForcePlatformType windows login anonymous app_update 258550 validate quit 
```
The dedicated server ends up in the following location by default. All following instructions assume defaults.
```
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/rust_dedicated 
```
Determine your Proton version

Open Rust and let it sit on the main menu. Alt+tab away and open a terminal to inspect all Rust processes.

It should return output similar to the following.
```
user 25989 0.0 0.0 63632 24768 tty2 S+ 20:42 0:00 /bin/sh -c '/home/user/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton 5.0'/proton waitforexitandrun '/home/user/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Rust/Rust.exe' -logfile "output_log.txt" user 25990 0.0 0.0 90504 16472 tty2 S+ 20:42 0:00 python3 /home/user/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton 5.0/proton waitforexitandrun /home/user/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Rust/Rust.exe -logfile output_log.txt user 25997 0.0 0.0 1818696 19924 tty2 Sl+ 20:42 0:00 steam /home/user/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Rust/Rust.exe -logfile output_log.txt 
```
I noticed that I’m running Proton 5.0 . The command for how Rust is launched is important for later. Take note the following.
```
/home/user/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton 5.0/proton waitforexitandrun /home/user/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Rust/Rust.exe -logfile output_log.txt 
```
Launching dedicated server

The following is a script for launching the dedicated server. Please note, this script uses the same Proton version as Rust determined previously.

Create a script in the directory of your choice named rust_ds.sh with the following contents. The server output_log.txt and rcon_pass (password for remote console administration) will also show up in the directory.
```
#!/bin/bash # Launches Rust Dedicated Server for Windows on Linux # Usage: # ./rust_ds.sh set -e # List your proton versions with # ls -1d ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton* PROTON_VERSION='Proton 5.0' # generate a random password from /dev/urandom function rand_password()  tr -dc -- '-.~,<>[]<>@%()_+=0-9a-zA-Z' < /dev/urandom | head -c16;echo > STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH="$HOME"/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/258550 STEAM_COMPAT_CLIENT_INSTALL_PATH="$HOME"/.local/share/Steam export STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH STEAM_COMPAT_CLIENT_INSTALL_PATH RUST_SERVER_DIR=~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/rust_dedicated SCRIPT_DIR="$PWD>" mkdir -p "$STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH>" if [ ! -f rcon_pass ]; then touch rcon_pass chmod 600 rcon_pass rand_password > rcon_pass fi cd "$RUST_SERVER_DIR>" ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/"$PROTON_VERSION>"/proton \ waitforexitandrun \ "$RUST_SERVER_DIR>"/RustDedicated.exe \ -batchmode -logfile "$SCRIPT_DIR>"/output_log.txt \ +server.secure 0 +server.encryption 0 +server.eac 0 \ +rcon.web 1 +rcon.port 28016 \ +rcon.password "$(< "$SCRIPT_DIR>"/rcon_pass)" 
```
The important part from above are the Rust options for disabling EAC.

Play Rust

Rust will crash if you attempt to browse the server list. So do not click “Play”. Instead, do the following.

Admin your server

In the directory where rust_ds.sh script is located you’ll find the rcon_pass file. This contains the password used for remote console administration (RCON).

Visit the Facepunch web-based websockets client you can use locally for connecting to your server.

Here’s some helpful administration guides.

Initial server setup

I like running the following commands when playing solo.
```
heli.bulletdamagescale 0.1 hackablelockedcrate.decayseconds 72000 minicopter.population 3 minicopter.insidedecayminutes 54000 server.updatebatch 256 server.pve true server.description "Sams Linux Server" aimanager.ai_dormant false ownerid [steam 64bit id] [steam username] owner server.writecfg 
```
You can get your own steam 64bit id by looking at the user list in RCON.

Heavy grenade kit

Just for goofing off I decided to make myself OP and hit a bunch of NPCs with it. A full heavy kit with buckshot and high explosive 40mm grenade launchers.
```
inventory.giveall multiplegrenadelauncher 1 inventory.giveall multiplegrenadelauncher 1 inventory.giveall syringe.medical 100 inventory.giveall largemedkit 500 inventory.giveall ammo.grenadelauncher.he 1000 inventory.giveall ammo.grenadelauncher.buckshot 1000 inventory.giveall heavy.plate.helmet 1 inventory.giveall heavy.plate.jacket 1 inventory.giveall heavy.plate.pants 1 inventory.giveall shoes.boots 1 inventory.giveall weapon.mod.flashlight 2 inventory.giveall weapon.mod.holosight 2 
```
```
inventory.giveall tactical.gloves 1 
```
Shortcuts

I’m a pretty casual player with work-life to balance. Expect to see more updates on how to mod it on Linux for higher spawn rates, 10x resouces, increased stacks, etc. This is the first time I’ve opened a Rust dedicated server so I’m new to all of this.

Here are some quality of life key bindings I enjoy as a player.
```
bind b backpack.open bind z forward;sprint bind c duck # Disable autodoor from closing when holding F2 (+ means hold) bind f2 "+chat.say /ad;+use" # Toggles remove tool with "DELETE" key bind delete "chat.say /remove" 
```
Here are some useful Server Admin only aliases.
```
bind l global.teleport2marker 
```
I also went into options and reversed the shortcut for Hover Loot (H) and Change Vehicle Seat (X) because I collect loot a lot more than I switch seats.

Article updates
- Nov 18, 2020 update: Proton works again! You must go into game settings and force use of the latest Proton 5.13.
- Sept 2020 update of Rust broke compatibility with Proton. The game can still be played through Steam on WINE. Using Lutris is recommended.

How to Install Rust on Ubuntu

Rust or rust-lang is a general-purpose programming language for system-level development projects. Rust is known for its speed, memory efficiency, seamless integration with other languages, and type safety.

This guide will teach you how to install Rust on Ubuntu using the apt package manager or curl.

Option 1: Install Rust on Ubuntu Using apt

The rustc package is included in the official Ubuntu repository, and Rust can be installed with the apt package manager. Even though it may not offer the latest available version, using apt to install Rust is a simple and fast option.

Step 1: Update the Package Registry

First, update the system packages registry with:

Step 2: Install Rust

After updating the package registry, install Rust by running the following command:

Type y when prompted and wait for the installation to complete.

Step 3: Verify the Installation

Confirm the installation with:

The command confirms the installation of rustc 1.61.

Option 2: How to Install Rust on Ubuntu Using rustup

To get the latest available version of Rust, use the curl command to download the rustup shell script. The rustup tool allows users to manage Rust in a more straightforward way.

Step 1: Download rustup

To download and install the rustup installer script, use the curl command:
```
curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
```
Note: If you receive a «curl command not found» error message, it is likely that the curl package is not installed on your system. Install it by running sudo apt install curl .

2. Type 1 to proceed with the default installation.

3. Restart the shell if necessary. (The system might not recognize the /.cargo/bin directory.)

Step 2: Add Rust to PATH

Once the shell reboots, run the following to add Rust to the system PATH:

The command doesn’t produce any output.

Step 3: Verify the Installation

Execute rustc with the -V argument to confirm the installation.

The output shows Rust version 1.65., a more up-to-date version than the one in the repository.

How to Uninstall Rust on Ubuntu

Depending on which method you used to install Rust, use either apt or the rustup tool to uninstall it.

Uninstall Rust Using apt

To uninstall Rust using the apt package manager, run:

Confirm with y when prompted. To verify Rust is removed, run rust -V :

The output shows that the package is not on the system.

Uninstall Rust Using rustup

To remove Rust from the system, execute:

Hit y when prompted. When the process completes, check the Rust version to verify the outcome:

After reading this tutorial, you now know how to install Rust on Ubuntu, either with apt or the Rustup installer. Next, check out this list of the best Linux text editors for coding.
