Rust: Console Edition Update 1.04 Now Live, Patch Notes Inside

Rust: Console Edition has released a new update to tackle bugs, crashes and much more.

The ruthless multiplayer survival game Rust: Console Edition has received a new 1.04 update. However, this update is not just for show, as it will need to be installed if you want to access the serves and play the game.

The patch will address issues lurking within the game, such as loading issues, alongside fixing obscure glitches such as characters going invisible when sitting on chairs in the Bandit Camp. It will also fix crashes, including one that would occur when using a flamethrower, because who wants their game to crash when they’re in the middle of causing carnage?

The patch will also contain lots of quality of life and performance improvements, changing the game’s dynamics. For example, players will have to be even more careful as anyone sleeping can now be killed inside safe zones and directly outside the compound.

Additionally, players will have to be more aware of resource management. For instance, there will now be a reduced number of seeds from pumpkins and corn, along with planting being disabled near monuments.

Rust: Console Edition is a cruel and unforgiving survival game set in a world where everything is out to get you, and the only thing left for you to do is try to survive. Chris got the first-hand experience of this when he covered the game earlier this year, and his review definitely delves into the highs and lows of the game, so be sure to give it a read if you haven’t already.
