Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone! The Christmas Event is once again live! If you haven't been around for this before, here's what you can expect:
Every once in a while you will hear the sound of jingle bells. Run outside and look for a gift! Two gifts are spawned per player, in a radius of about 40m from where you are standing. Run up and bash it open to receive your Christmas presents. They come in three sizes: small, medium, and large. If you have enough small presents stashed, you can "trade up" to a medium. If you choose to unwrap a present, the contents in each will vary. I won't blow the surprise here, but you'll find a mix of resources, weapons, and candy. Some players may receive coal for being absolutely worthless human beings.
Once again, you will be able to find Santa hats and reindeer antlers, both of which can be worn and provide a decent amount of protection. There’s also a lickable candy cane club, and two types of stockings. If you hang a stocking inside y... Read more

CPUs with strong multicore performance and weaker single core will often fall behind.

A new Archipelago Island opens its doors: Kisiwa.
Kisiwa is the hilly cousin of Tucma, its main feature being the impassable Kilima Range that divides the island into two distinct halves. Hotter and dried than any of the other islands, Kisiwa features an unrivalled variety of landscapes. The eastern side has Vumbi and its famous dojo, as well as the wild Kusini Highlands beyond the Jino Gap, inhabited by a variety of  Neutral Temtem. The only viable ways to cross the island are the tunnels excavated by the tireless Kisiwans – Chini in the wild southern solitudes and Juu in the north, near Lake Moyo and the capital city of Uhuru. The western deserts are deceptive in appearance, for they are home to many species of Earth Temtem.
What's new As usual, we won't go deep here in terms of spoiling the new area, the new quests you'll find there or the new Temtem. Instead, we will talk a bit about the new features present in this patch, starting with...
Co-op! Starting today, you will be able to p... Read more

bloody could add a way to randomize the device ids every time the mouse is turned on (e.g. pc reboot) or even just clone those of another manufacturer

They do that by default, to me this reveals their intentions.

We're working with EAC to block some specific programmable mice that are increasingly being used to give an unfair combat advantage by counteracting recoil etc. Please let us know if you're being affected by this and you feel like you don't own one of these mice.

[BUG] On a Mac, bought the instrument DLC. It is showing up as purchased in the store, but not in my library. Right clicking on Rust's properties does not show a DLC tab. Tried restarting everything. Might be a Mac bug?

Thanks, we're investigating this issue.

This is intentional.

RoundScratch

New first person playermodels looks really janky when you're jumping around. hands get in your face. There should be a toggle to disable the whole feature

You can disable your legs (ouch!) by typing in the F1 console:

legs.enablelegs 0

Equipping a piece of clothing will update your player.
