ROB RUN server list

How to change servers

There's no server browser hop yet. Kefir's Help Center gives the route, and it goes through prison:

1. Open the global map.
2. Select the Prison location.
3. Click "Surrender to Feds".
4. Inside the prison, switch to the server you want, for example your friend's, then resend the party invite.

Kefir called this "rather inconvenient" on November 13 and says server selection will get simpler. Before you switch, keep in mind:

• Clans only exist on the server they were made on, so a new server means a new clan, or none.
• Your new server is on its own seven-day clock. Look up its wipe with the wipe timer so you don't land on one that wipes tomorrow.
• Joining a fresh server right at opening time (see the countdowns above) puts you on the same footing as everyone else.

Can't get in?

First look at the incident log above and Kefir's X account. If there's no fresh notice and the player count looks normal, work through Kefir's own checklist: check your connection, fully restart the game and Steam, update your graphics driver, then in Steam go to ROB RUN → Properties → Installed Files → Verify integrity of game files.

Three messages show up again and again. Kefir hasn't published a specific fix for any of them, so here is what is actually known:

• Stuck on compiling shaders (often at 50%): players on Steam report it can survive driver updates, cache clears, file checks and reinstalls. Give it several minutes on a first launch; if it never moves, it may not be your PC.
• Waiting for status information: reported while joining or moving between locations, sometimes dropping you back to the global map. It lined up with the DDoS waves in the log above, and restarting rarely helped. Check for a notice before you reinstall.
• Fatal error: failed to load il2cpp: one player traced it in Windows Event Viewer to Windows Smart App Control blocking GameAssembly.dll. Check your antivirus and Windows security history for a blocked game file, then verify the files.
• Specs: the minimum is Windows 10 64-bit, 12 GB RAM, a GTX 1050 Ti / RX 580 / Arc A380 and 20 GB of storage.

Why you wait for a cop slot

You can only enlist at the Looty Bay Police Station when a slot is open, and since November 5 the city allows at most four cops at a time. Kefir says adding more would break the balance between cops and criminals, but it admits the wait is a pain and is working on police duty. When officers are stretched thin, other players can get a call for backup that comes with better gear and a temporary pay boost.
