For the most part, you will have a positive experience playing on the RPUK server. Unfortunately, there are rare occasions where you may have your progress impacted by a game bug or you may become victim to someone breaking the server rules. RPUK staff can consider compensation in the right circumstances for any loss due to a bug or when victim to a rule breaker. To ensure fairness, staff request evidence when submitting these reports so there is a transparent view of the situation. This is best being a video of the incident and, especially with regards to player reports, a few minutes leading up to the incident so context of the overall situation is clearer for staff to review. | For the most part, you will have a positive experience playing on the RPUK server.

You do not need to record continuously as this would likely fill your hard drive up pretty quickly, however there are solutions to have a 'buffer'; that is a period of time where you are recording but only when you press a hotkey does that clip save, otherwise it is not saved. This allows you to 'clip' incidents that you may require as evidence and can then trim (if required) and upload to a video host (such as YouTube). | You do not need to record continuously as this would likely fill your hard drive up pretty quickly, however there are solutions to have a 'buffer'; that is a period of time where you are recording but only when you press a hotkey does that clip save, otherwise it is not saved.
