SQL Authentication Errors

Receiving SQL authentication errors across different hosting providers, and SQL methods.  Both MariaDB and MySQL 8.1 produce errors authenticating on plugin load.

 Failed to initialize plugin 'BetterStatistics v1.2.0' (MySqlException: Authentication method 'caching_sha2_password' not supported by any of the available plugins.)
 

Note both are using latest versions of MariaDB/MySQL on windows server.

Get https://cdn.mysql.com//Downloads/Connector-Net/mysql-connector-net-8.0.33-noinstall.zip and use the v4.8 folder in it to update the MySql.Data.dll and xml that will go to this location in rust RustDedicated_Data\Managed and save the files cause after the update of rust it needs to be replace each time if you get  a mysql error for unsupported type.

Seems your host is having issues with the wrapper rust is running, sorry for the delay!
