Very easy to follow and the presentation was enjoyable to watch. Thanks for making this an easier process for me :) Good name too Dan!😉

Hey Dan. Just wanted to stop by and say thanks for the help. I just recently started playing a few days ago and wanted to try a server cause I want to explore the game more and this was a super helpful video. Clear and to the point. Thank you so much for taking the time to help the noobs!

Thanks for this tutorial it was helpful and straight to the point, I wanted to know the map and learn how to play on private server before getting on public ones so this helped a lot!

Nice video straight to the point

Just got the game and was trying to adjust my settings and got killed 4 times then was having a hell of time getting the hang of the game due to basically any random person I came across murdring me. Hopefully using my own server I can get the basics of this game down before going back to public lol

i was having issues with starting and the "rust server start" helped a lot!!! crazy coincidence too because I picked the same seed before watching this video xD i might pick something a bit different since I'm playing solo

[rhysxh]

Thanks so much dude! It really helped me playing rust only with my friends! ;D

[Cmautocare]

hey umm when i try and run the server start it says not found il2cpp or something can you help me?

[althizar]

This made it super easy to understand!

[TheBigZs]

Hey dude first of all thank you for the support. On the other hand everytime when I run the BAT it wipes the server. Is there anyway I could avoid that ?

[robinyang]

do you have to keep the rust dedicated window open for the server to run?

[benjaminbennybenbenison]
