How To Fix World File Outdated and World File Miss-match Errors On Your Rust Server

Note:

This error can occur due to mismatched world files on either the server or the client side.

To fully resolve it, we recommend trying both fixes:
– Server-Side Fix: Replace or reset the world file on your Rust server.
– Client-Side Fix: Clear the outdated local copy so the client can download the correct world file.

Most of the time, the issue is resolved on the server side, but in some cases players may also need to apply the client side fix.

Fix From Server Side

---

1. Log In to Your Panel

---

2. Select the ‘Files’ Tab

---

3. Locate the Map Files Folder

You can find the folder in  /home/container/server/rust.

---

4. Delete the .sav Files

Select the ‘Delete’ button (trash can icon).

---

6. Restart Your Server

Fix From Client Side

Note:

This fixes the error if the issue was caused by a mismatch between the server and local files.

Make sure to back up any important local data before deleting files.

1. Close Rust and Steam

---

2. Navigate to Your Local Rust Files

Go to your Rust installation folder. For Steam, this is usually:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Rust\

---

3. Delete the Local World File

Locate the .sav files in the server folder. Delete the outdated or corrupted world files.

---

4. Restart Rust

Launch Rust again and connect to your server. Steam will download the correct world file from the server automatically.
