Rust is one of the most popular survival games that makes its way to the console family. However, players are facing issues especially with the Console Community Servers not working in Rust. Although the developers have confirmed that the UI for the same is in progress, players will have to make do without the features.
However, all’s not lost since players can still access the server by searching for it. If you are facing issues with the community servers, these are some troubleshooting tips that you might find helpful.
Rust Console Community Servers Not Working Troubleshooting Tips
The Rust Console Community Servers not working is an issue that has no permanent fix yet. While you wait for the developers to make things work for you, there are a few things that you need to check from your end as well. First off, do check if the Rust Servers are running properly or not. Once that is out of the way, here are a few things that you can try out.
Check Internet Connection
Since the console community servers not working issue is connected to your Internet network, the first thing to do is make sure your Internet Connection is working. A speed test works splendidly and will give you an idea if this is the reason for the issue. Along with that, avoid any major download on any of your devices that might use up more Bandwidth to steer clear of connection issues.
Restart Modem & Router
Your modem and router might have collected a lot of unnecessary cache which might be giving you trouble while playing Rust. Restarting them will help you get a much faster and resolved network connection. Additionally, since modems and routers are running 24/7, they might get overheated on occasion. A simple restart is enough to cool it down and help it function better.
As you can see from the tweet above, the devs have mentioned that players can try pressing Y (on Xbox) or Triangle (on PlayStation) to open the server search. According to them, this is missing from the UI at the moment, but the functionality does work.
Players can write to Rust Support for more such queries but they will likely have to wait for the devs to do something about the community servers. If you found this guide helpful, do check out our Rust section for more such guides here at Gamer Tweak.
