Support

Use this page to open a ban appeal, support ticket, or player report without needing to start from the homepage. If your website account is banned, stay signed out and fill in the banned account details below so staff can identify you correctly.

Open an Appeal

This creates a Discord ticket for staff. If email delivery is configured and you provide an email address, the site will send you a reusable ticket ID so you can reopen the conversation later.

Signed-out users must enter a display name and the banned account details above. Signed-in users use their website profile name automatically.

Open Support / Report / Bug Ticket

Use this for general support, to report a player, or to report a bug. It creates the same website-linked ticket flow as appeals and also creates a linked staff case. Bug reports go to a dedicated Bug Reports queue.

Signed-out users must enter a display name. Signed-in users use their website profile name automatically.

Support tickets do not need a player target.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the most common questions about the website, the desktop client, and the in-game overlay. If your question isn't covered here, open a ticket above or ask staff in Discord.

Account & website

How do I create a Braai Master account?

Use the Sign In page and choose to register. Once you're in, open Account → Settings and link your Discord and Steam accounts — that's what unlocks stats, social features, clans, and in-game perks.

Can I log in with my username or only my email?

You can sign in with either your email address or your website username, together with your password. Your username is a real login credential, so keep it private just like your email.

I forgot my password or can't sign in — what now?

Use "Reset Password" on the Sign In page to get a reset link by email. If you signed up but never confirmed your email, look for the verification message first — an unverified account is held until it's confirmed. Still stuck? Open a Support ticket above and stay signed out if you can't reach your account.

Why is my avatar missing or showing just a letter?

Website avatars are pulled live from your linked Discord or Steam account, not uploaded. Link (or re-link) Discord/Steam in Account → Settings, then refresh the page. If it still doesn't appear, open a ticket.

How do clans and groups work?

Browse and join clans from the Community → Clans pages, and use Groups for smaller squads. Public clan profiles show recruitment status and basics; management and roster tools live under "Your Clans" once you're a member.

Desktop client

Do I need the desktop client to play?

No. You can play on the Rust server normally without it. The client is an optional companion that adds Braai Master tools — account access, live stats, social features, map voting, and overlay management — in one place.

Where do I download the client?

Grab it from the website's Client guide / download page. The download is the launcher itself; the in-game overlay is then installed from inside the client.

The client won't update or is stuck on launch.

The client checks for updates automatically each time it starts and applies them on the next launch. Fully close it and reopen it to let an update finish. If it keeps failing, open a Support ticket with a short description of what you see.

Is the client safe? Does it modify Rust?

The client is a standalone companion launcher. It does not modify the game files or inject into Rust — it reads your Braai Master account data and provides tools and an optional overlay around your normal game session.

In-game overlay

What is the in-game overlay?

It's a Rust-styled panel that appears over the game so you can see Braai Master info — stats, server feed, chat, and more — without alt-tabbing out.

How do I get the overlay?

The overlay is coming soon and is not installable yet. When it releases it will only be installed from inside the Braai Master Client (the Rust / Overlays page) — there is no separate website download.

The overlay isn't showing in-game.

Make sure the client is running and the overlay is enabled, then use the overlay hotkey to toggle it. Running Rust in Borderless / Windowed (Fullscreen Windowed) mode lets the overlay draw most reliably. If it still won't appear, reopen the client and try again.

Why do I only see a "Foundation" or placeholder panel?

Some overlay panels are still rolling out. If you see a placeholder instead of the full feature, it isn't enabled on your build yet — it will light up as features ship.

Tickets & appeals

How do I open a support ticket or report a player?

Use the Support / Report form at the top of this page. Pick "Support" for general help or "Player Report" to report someone, fill in the details, and it creates a staff ticket you can continue right here.

I'm banned and can't sign in — how do I appeal?

Stay signed out and use the Appeal form above. Enter your display name and the banned account details (website username, Discord, and Steam ID where possible) so staff can identify you correctly.

How do I follow up on a ticket I already opened?

Your open tickets appear under "Your Tickets" on this page — select one to reopen the chat and reply to staff. If you provided an email when you created it, you can also use the ticket ID to come back to the conversation later.
