The Old Way

  • Explaining how to type F1 client.connect commands
  • Losing players to the crowded server browser
  • Messy manual custom map downloads via Discord
  • Players giving up during wipe day queues
  • Looks amateur and unprofessional

The GLC Way

  • Instant Direct Connect buttons
  • Bypasses the server browser entirely
  • Automated background map/mod updates
  • Direct Steam and Discord Integrations
  • Premium, fully branded community hub
The Hidden Cost

What is a Broken Connection Costing Your Wipe?

Every time a player gives up trying to join your Rust server because they can't find it in the server list or messed up an F1 console command, it costs you more than just a slot.

60%

of new players abandon a server if the connection process takes more than a few minutes during wipe day.

Hours

wasted every single wipe providing basic F1 console tech support in Discord instead of building your server.

Revenue

lost in potential VIP/Queue skip donations from players who got frustrated and joined a competitor.

"We have used GLC since 2018 for all of our community Rust servers. Bypassing the broken server browser and giving our players a 1-click direct connect is an absolute lifesaver on wipe day."

Custom Rust Launchers

Rust is a critically acclaimed multiplayer-only survival video game developed and published by Facepunch Studios. Since its release, it has captivated millions of players worldwide with its harsh, unforgiving world where players must gather resources, build bases, and survive against the elements and each other. While the vanilla game offers an incredibly intense survival experience, the true potential for custom, community-driven experiences was unlocked by the massive modding community.

Oxide and UMod are popular modification frameworks for Rust that allow players to experience customized, dedicated multiplayer servers. Unlike standard vanilla Rust, these frameworks enable server owners to implement custom kits, specialized loot tables, unique game modes like PvE or hardcore PvP, and even custom maps. This unparalleled freedom has given rise to massive clan-battle servers, roleplay (RP) communities, and heavily modded 10x gather servers, offering an entirely new way to experience the game.

For server owners, developers, and community managers, keeping a dedicated player base organized and ensuring everyone has a smooth connection experience can be challenging. Players often have to sift through a cluttered, unreliable, and highly competitive in-game server browser just to find your server. If they can't find it, they are forced to remember IP addresses and manually type client.connect commands into the F1 console. Providing a professional, branded onboarding experience is absolutely crucial for player retention and community growth.

To eliminate these technical hurdles, community leaders often look for ways to streamline the connection process. Instead of forcing players to manually mess with the console or rely on Discord links, having a dedicated application completely transforms the player experience. By utilizing dedicated custom Rust launchers, server networks can provide a seamless, one-click entry point for their player base. This not only boosts player retention but also gives your community a premium, professional edge over the competition.

Game Launcher Creator allows you to create your own custom Rust client with an easy-to-use, drag-and-drop editor interface. Whether you run an exclusive whitelisted roleplay server, a 1000x battlefield, or a massive public network, our software empowers you to design and deploy a professional custom Rust launcher without writing a single line of code. You can effortlessly configure buttons to direct-connect to your server (bypassing the Rust browser entirely), set up automated tools for downloading custom maps, and integrate rich community features like live Discord RPC and TeamSpeak connect buttons. With Game Launcher Creator, giving your players a premium, hassle-free gateway into your server has never been easier.
