Rust Servers With > 255 Users Not Showing User List

[gamemann]

Due to limitations with the A2S protocol, Rust servers with above 255 users connected at once do not track users. The limitation is due to the max amount of users being stored in a byte field (up to 255).

I will be looking into this further as it's crucial we get this working at some point. I've found a workaround to displaying servers with >255 users, but this does not include the user list.

A while ago I performed packet captures of A2S_PLAYER responses which is used to retrieve a list of users playing on each server. Even with the user count fields being limited to 1 byte (255 players), I thought the response would contain the full response of all players even if the server has above 255 players (likely fragmented responses).

If A2S_PLAYER responses do not include any list for > 255 user servers, I'm unsure what other server trackers do to retrieve a full list of users for servers with above 255 users concurrently. Perhaps there's another API?
