Hello,

Just been messing around with some registry files that I have copied from a friends working version of rust. After manually installing EAC from it's setup file and applying the working registry to my computer, the game has started to work.

I will post an update in 10 minutes to verify my findings, I can also provide the working registry file for those who want to try it.

Cheers,

GoodGuyGrant.

UPDATE: Ok, it seems that my problems are now corrected. For those wanting to try the registry fix here is the link. Simply download and double click the file; It will apply a missing "ServiceVersion" registry entry.

I hope this can help some people out,

Cheers,

GoodGuyGrant.

Try the download button at the top of that page. It's right there.

So I did the registry fix and now my game crashes immidietely after I select the play speed, good, fastest, etc. Says "the game crashed, log file located at . . . .."

I can provide the log files if needed. Anyone know why this is happening now?

[elixwhitetail]

Paste the logs into pastebin and link them here, that'd help a lot towards finding an explanation.

Please also provide your system specs: CPU, RAM, video card, graphics driver version (xxx.xx for Nvidia, xx.xx for AMD, god help you if you're on Intel HD graphics).

Hey OP, my friend tells me that your registry fix works and now I am experiencing it. GOod job! I'm trying to download your file but Google tells me too many people have downloaded it and it's not available to be downloaded at this time. I thought I could sneak it by opening it with a Google App but it was smarter than I anticipated.

Can you rehost on paste.pm or a similar site?

Try updating your Nvidia drivers to 344.48.

[duckygoonstea]

OK so updated graphics driver to 344.48 and reinstalled RUST. Same shit, same error. :(

Huh. Make sure .NET Framework 4.5.2 is installed. If it is, repair it and restart. Also make sure you've done your Windows Updates.

I'm not an expert in reading dumps, so I don't know exactly what's breaking, just that it's breaking and your machine should be capable of physically running it (enough ram, etc.).

[duckygoonstea]

Legacy works, experimental doesn't. Obviously I'm wanting to play experimental.

elixwhitetail posted:

Are you having trouble with experimental or legacy, duckygoonstea?

[elixwhitetail]

Read from location 00000008 caused an access violation.

Here's the problem, but why this happened is another thing. I looked at the pastebin log again and saw that you are indeed crashing on the experimental client, so I edited my post.

[duckygoonstea]

I'm mostly up to date on windows updates, doing what is available now along with the .net framework

So frustrating. Updated .Net and still nothing. Not sure what else i can do.

@elixwhitetail So with your Reg-Fix Rust start, but in the Serverselect it shows 0 Server. Any fix for that?(I start Rust over Steam)

It's GoodGuyGrant's fix, actually. Do you have any security software installed? Make sure you don't have an antivirus or firewall interfering with Rust. Disable them temporarily and see if that solves the problem.

Also, search because there are numerous threads on the server list problem, this thread is about the EAC error and registry fix.

[AzraeI]

Befor i used your Fix i started Rust via the RustClient.exe and it shows me the Server and i could connect but get always a kick after a few seconds. I will disable Bitdefender and try it. :) I will make reply if it works for me or not.

Edit: So disable the Firewall works now i must find out where the AntiCheat Programm is so that i can allowed it. Rust.exe and RustClient.exe are already allowed.

[elixwhitetail]

BitDefender needs to have stealth mode turned off. It is specifically incompatible with Rust and will fuck it up every time.

Starting the game by RustClient.exe bypasses EAC, and because EAC's not running you'll be kicked from any server with security enabled.

[AzraeI]

Disable the stealth mode work :) thy i hope i can play now :)

The .reg file can be saved anywhere. Doesn't matter. Stick it on your desktop and then double-click.

Reading page 2 is hard.

If Rust doesn't work, and disabling Avast makes it work, you'll have your answer (and will need to set exceptions).

EAC should be living in Windows\system32\ as EasyAntiCheat.exe, if the paths it was complaining about are correct.

Plese someon can rive me another link of the .reg file Google drive says me i can't download

Edit i have found it and worked :

Did you launch Rust from Steam after running the fix? Or are you clicking on RustClient.exe? (Run it from Steam if you are.)

I was indeed using the launcher .exe file :) now it works - thank you !

Or you could've read page 2 of this very thread where I provided the full contents of the file with instructions on how to create the .reg file yourself when others had a problem downloading it. Thanks for sharing the link, however.

[Exsanguine]

Thanks for the help GGG and elixwhitetail it worked for me.

However I did have trouble getting the reg edit to work at one point because the person I copied the txt contents from on page2 of this thread had put a space in the middle of the word cheat which was messing it up, I should have copied yours from the start heh.

The poster didn't do that, the forum did. It automatically inserts spaces into long non-stop text strings so they don't break the forum formatting. [ code][ /code] blocks don't, which is why I used one for the registry file contents.

[eac_SMa]

The latest update should now fix the issue. Please let us know if it still happens.

GGG, thanks so much for posting your fix. It helped where no one else could. I've had a ticket open with facepunch for a week and everything they suggested was unsuccessful. You da best!
