Thanks for the Bitdefender versions, I will try acquire and test with both of them to reproduce issue and work around it. I'm sure its something we can figure out on our end and deliver fix within early of the beginning week. I'll let you know as soon as we have resolved it for you guys.

@StarlightVoid: Do you get any pop-up message after failed attempt to start the game? Do you still have Rust.exe running in processes list or does it self-close silently after a short while? I think its fair assumption to suspect EAC being the culprit here, otherwise Steam would show an error if there was a problem with game update / missing game files.

I get the same error code 10 as posted above still, it also gives me the confirmation that the game launched, etc. When you launch, you'll get the icon loading, etc, and then the error will launch and you can't open anything, etc.

What's REAL weird is right after it happens and you can't open anything, you can open up control panel, etc, but you can't open the uninstall panel until you reboot your computer, etc.

Not only programs but it seems to be affecting maybe explorer as well? some folders open, some don't, etc.

Really strange.

I got it to work with Bitdefender! Here's what I did!

1. Right Click Rust in Steam and hit "Delete Local Content" (This will uninstall the game.

2. Then, open up C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ and you will see Rust, right click it and hit "Delete", wipe your Recycle Bin.

3. Restart your computer and open CCleaner (https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner) and run the cleaner and registry.

4. Restart again.

5. Now, open Steam and reinstall Rust BUT BEFORE LAUNCHING IT go into your Bit Defender firewall exceptions settings and add both the legacy Rust.exe and Experimental Rust.exe' as well as Easy Anti-Cheat Setup.exe, etc.

6. Run Easy Anti-Cheat Setup after it's been added to your firewall exceptions.

7. Boot experimental and thank the gods. (:

Hope this helps!

@t205gorillaz, thanks for the solution you found!

We have now updated EAC with a patch that should make it compatible with all versions of Bitdefender. If anyone is still experiencing launch problems with EAC & BD, please try if it is now resolved for you as well, thanks.

Nothing worked for me. I tried the solution and I still can't play experimental. What is taking you guys so long to fix it?
