I am trying to write a wrapper for RUST game server using python and starting it with subprocess, it works problem is console output is all over the window only top line gets updated on stdout.

I am not reading and printing stdout as for some reason program (RustDedicated) wont accept stdin to write console commands.

How can i run RustDedicated.exe inside the wrapper the way batch file does so console gets displayed correctly?

Expected console output: output Console output i am getting: output

The code:

args = f'{server} -batchmode {serverConfig}'
subprocess.call(args, shell=False)

Note: server referrs to RustDedicated.exe's location, args are just additional server arguments.

Thanks in advance, also developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Rust_Dedicated_Server not the programming language.

Does this answer your question? [Python capture subprocess output](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36364956/python-capture-subprocess-output) – Peter Badida Apr 13 '22 at 16:05
