  • Facepunch Banned Over 4,500 Suspected Cheaters Today from Official Rust Servers

    Rust, the latest game in development from Garry and the crew at Facepunch, has not exactly been free of hackers and cheaters. He and his team are looking to change that with today's reveal that 4,573 users (and counting) have been banned from official Rust servers today.

    A post on the Facepunch forums from Garry himself details what he is calling "Cheatpunch." Maybe Stephen Sackur can ask these people why they cheated.
    Over the next couple of days you might find yourself not being able to join the official servers. You might be getting a message saying you're banned.

    It would help us a lot if you would confirm that you have been cheating, have been banned anc cheatpunch if working properly. that way we'll be able to roll it out to all the other servers faster.

    If you find yourself banned and are positive that you haven't been cheating then please post your full 64bit steamid in the thread and we will look into it.

    We won't tell you exactly how cheatpunch works because we want to catch as many cheats as possible. It's been running for 4 days. Right now we have 4,573 bans in the database.

    Can't log into the game to see if you're banned? Try heading on over to the Ban Check page at PlayRust.

      Read through the thread. Yes, people have admitted to it. They have also denied it and then been proven wrong. So yes, people are doing as he asked.

      The thread is a goldmine of people who deny any wrongdoing though. Just, pure gold.

      Example of just two posts from a guy that made about 14 posts in that thread alone. This guy was also banned from the forums.
