How to find a Rust player’s SteamID64
What a SteamID64 is, where to find yours and someone else’s, and how to convert old formats like STEAM_0:1:…
What a SteamID64 is
It is a 17-digit Steam account number, usually starting with 7656119. A name can change every day and a profile address can be replaced with a custom name, but an account has one SteamID64 and it never changes. That makes it the most reliable way to find a player: a number has no namesakes.
The forms a SteamID takes
The same account is written in different ways, and all of them convert into each other. No need to convert by hand: RustRecon search accepts any of these formats and the full profile link.
SteamID64
Seventeen digits, for example 76561197960290419. It is the format in the profile address, and every service understands it.
SteamID
The old STEAM_0:1:12345 format. It dates back to Source engine games and turns up in old ban lists and on forums.
SteamID3
The [U:1:24691] format. Inside is the account number without the offset that turns it into a SteamID64.
Custom URL
An address like steamcommunity.com/id/name. The owner picks the name and can change it, so the link is not a SteamID but a pointer to one.
How to find your own SteamID64
Open your Steam profile. If the address looks like steamcommunity.com/profiles/7656119…, the number at the end is your SteamID64. If it has a name in it (/id/…), copy the whole link and paste it into the search — the number is resolved for you. In the Steam app the page address is visible once you turn on the address bar in the interface settings.
How to find another player’s SteamID
The easiest way is their Steam profile: open it from your friends list or a group and copy the link. If all you have is a name, paste the name into the search: the report lists candidates and marks the likeliest. Server admins can see players’ SteamIDs, so if you are reporting someone, ask them for the number.
How to convert STEAM_0 to SteamID64
For STEAM_0:Y:Z the formula is SteamID64 = 76561197960265728 + Z × 2 + Y. For example, STEAM_0:1:12345 gives 76561197960265728 + 24690 + 1 = 76561197960290419. For [U:1:W] it is simpler still: 76561197960265728 + W.
