Rank is players over the last seven days. A big server showing offline while the rest are up is that server restarting or wiping, not Rust being down.
The verdict, live
Check the headline figure first. It compares the number of public servers reporting in this hour with what is usual for the same hour, so a quiet Tuesday morning is judged against other Tuesday mornings, not against a Saturday night.
- Above 85% of the usual figure: servers are up. Worth trying again.
- Between half and 85%: patchy. Some servers are missing from the list or restarting.
- Below half: outage. This is rare.
Every count comes from our own read of the public server list, taken every five minutes. Times are given in UK time and UTC together.
Why the numbers can look low
A low count is not always an outage. On force wipe day the number drops while servers restart one by one, and it climbs back over the next hour. The same happens around 19:00 UK time (18:00 UTC) on a weeknight, when many servers wipe on their own schedules. If you are waiting on a fresh map, the fewer servers reporting, the more likely yours has just gone down for its wipe.
For the daily rhythm over two days, the population charts on the live player count page show the shape of it. The next shared restart is on the force wipe schedule.
If your browser shows nothing
If the verdict says up but your in-game list is empty, the problem is between you and Steam.
- Restart Steam, then Rust.
- Clear your server browser filters; an old region or tag filter hides everything.
- Check whether Steam is down, which empties every game's browser.
- On force wipe day, update Rust before you search again.
- Turn off any VPN or strict firewall and retry.
A single missing server is that server's own business: wiping, restarting or closed. Its page shows when it was last seen, and you can find it on the server list.
The biggest servers
The largest servers by population are checked one by one against their own usual figure for this hour. A big server can be down on its own without moving the overall count much, so read its status directly rather than the total. Server pages show the last time we saw it and its current population.
Questions
Q01Are Rust servers down right now?
The verdict at the top is a live comparison: the number of servers reporting in this hour against the usual figure for this hour. At 85% or more, servers are up; below half of the usual count is an outage. The reading is refreshed every five minutes.
Q02Why is my server list empty when this page says servers are up?
The problem is between you and Steam rather than with Rust itself. Restart Steam and Rust, clear your browser filters, check whether Steam is down, and on force wipe day update the game first. A single missing server is restarting, wiping or down on its own.
Q03How often is this page updated?
Our read of the public server list runs every five minutes, and the time under the verdict shows the last one, in UK time and UTC. If a reading is more than 25 minutes old, the page says so rather than showing it as current.
