    Hey guys - can you try the dev version. It's been built with unity 4.2 (an older version of Unity).

    This should give everyone a bit of an FPS boost. Can you guys try it out and report back your FPS in the live version, and FPS in the dev version?

    Just got a new update on dev that removed the game executable, and it doesn't download a new one.

    Launching the game just throws an error "Failed to launch: missing executable"

    Verifying game file integrity doesn't do anything.

    If you dont know how to get into the Dev version, here's how.

    Right click on rust in steam and click properties.

    Click the Betas tab and opt in to dev.

    you're welcome

    30+ fps increase. can also alt-tab without fps loss. the 4.2 roll-back works the best and was also an excellent decision on your guys' part. should keep it

    When I opt in, nothing happens. Won't download anything, and won't let me start the game stating "missing executable".

    Opted in for the dev and it deletes the local content. Opt out and it re downloads the game.

    Yes, it's not opting in properly on my system. I see the update bar for a split second, then it says completed. But get the exe error when I try to run it.

    PLEASE tell us how to fix the EXECUTABLE problem instead of just ignoring it

    When I opt into the beta, it downloads nothing. Just a folder of config files. Please fix it because it seems to have been working earlier.

    Right Click Rust> Properties > Beta Tab > dev - Live Developer Branch

    It instantly states that the download is complete and when i go to play it claims that there is an EXE. error.

    they fuckin broke the game when they just fixed it. the dev branch was working. i exited the game and got a slap to the face with some bitch ass missing executable error after it showed the game update for a split second. like an update bar flash next to the rust game and erased everything in the local files -.-. i take back my last comment. this is fuckin stupid.

    wow, relax. it's the daily development version of an alpha of a game, it should be expected to run into such problems.

    i have the same problem, all files were successfully validated in "verify integrity of game cache"

    going to try switching to regular and back to dev after it updates

    update:
    doing so deletes pretty much all the game files except for config

    Also, whenever I try to start the game fullscreen in d3d11 mode I get only a blank screen but with sound. Running in windowed first and pressing alt+enter allows me to play full screen though. This is with the non-dev version.

    I think its worth noting that I'm running a dual monitor setup (top/bottom 42" HDTV primary, 23" ips secondary both @ native 1920x1080). I seem to have this same problem with some other games as well.

    FPS doubles from mid 40ish to 90ish. Garry has been updating this game a ton lately and cracking down on duping, and there is no other person I would rather have heading this project. Great job Garry!
