Post #1I have an issue, a big one.
I can not play Rust, I have 2 problems actually.
For one, when I click Play on Rust in Steam, it does not start up, nothing happens at all. So the only way I can get it to start is by running the .exe in it's folder.
And my biggest issue is I can not stay in a game for more than 10 seconds. I've had this issue for months, I thought maybe an update would resolve it, but no, I guess it's on my part.
I've reinstalled it several times, and verified the cache numerous times. Nothing has changed.
The F1 console tells me ' Disconnected - EasyAntiCheat - disconnected '
This was the issue before, I've had people tell me to turn off my virus protection when installing it, but the thing is.. I have no virus protection, so there is literally nothing stopping this from installing correctly, and when I DO install it, it tells me everything installed fine, no errors, no hiccups.
So what am I suppose to do? Can anyone help me?

If you run RustClient.exe, you will be kicked almost instantly because doing that bypasses EAC, and servers with security enabled will not let you connect with EAC disabled.
I want you to try running GoodGuyGrant's registry fix found here.
If you are unable to download the file, I posted a way to recreate the fix file manually. Follow the steps exactly and copy everything in the dark grey box, and only the dark grey box. Do not leave out a single character.
Then reboot, and try Rust from Steam.

It didn't work. I don't understand why it won't launch from Steam.
All that happens when I launch it from Steam is I prompted with the option for Rust or Legacy.
Legacy starts fine, but regular Rust does not.
-
EAC is started by launching from steam, and experimental is designed to kick you rapidly if EAC isn't running. Legacy doesn't have EAC, so it doesn't kick you for EAC not running, and can be started from the .exe without any issue.
-
No, what I'm saying is; Rust Legacy can be started from both .exe and Steam, no problem.
Rust Experimental can NOT be started from Steam, but can through the .exe , but of course I am kicked due to my EAC not being on.
So I guess my real problem is that I can't get Rust Experimental to launch via Steam.
I go to my Library, click on Rust, click Play, I'm prompted to either start Rust or Legacy.
Click Rust, and then nothing.
Nothing happens. No loading, no main menu, nothing at all.
-
we are saying the same thing.
legacy does not have any EAC requirements, so you can launch it from either the .exe or steam.
experimental requires launching through steam because that's how EAC is launched; without EAC experimental will boot you every time because it requires EAC to be running to allow you to join a server.
but i agree, the issue is not being able to launch through steam. have you done the basics, like restart steam, restart the computer, wipe the cache, check rusts file integrity etc etc?
*edit*
probably worth posting your specs too, just in case.
-
I know a few people having this issue, even a couple streamers that want to play the new rust but it won't even open... Hopefully someone will have an answer, been at it for hours

I did have a similar problem. Not sure if it is related, but I do know Steam can be tricky at times.
A complete restart of Steam/computer might help in some cases. If it will help in this case I can't be 100% sertain.
Detailed problem I did have a few weeks back:
Steam didn't open up Rust at some point, (telling my friends I was playing after opening up the program, then after 5-6 seconds it quit running) even then restarting Steam didn't help, but a complete system restart did. If this is related to driver issues I can not say.
Now, I do NOT have any issues, but might help in this problem.
If not, maybe contact Steam support (since it is their software the game won't start from) and check with them as well as FP.
-
Do not do this. EasyAntiCheat is not supported by Steam Support, don't waste Steam Support's time.
This is an issue happening to numerous people, so be patient while the problem is tracked down and sorted out.
-
I assure you it has nothing to do with my specs, but alright.
And yes, I have done all the basics, numerous amounts of times.
Operating System: Windows 7 65-bit
Processor: Intel Core i7-4470k CPU @ 3.50 GHz(8 CPUs), 3.5 GHz
Memory: 10192 MB RAM
GFX: NVIDIA Geforce GTX 770
( Sorry if it's missing some things, I've never posted specs before. )
-
always worth checking, its very easy to miss the basics presuming they won't be the problem.
honestly don't know what to suggest, but as you said, it shouldn't be spec related based on what you posted. does rust show up in your processes when you try and run it via steam?
-
I looked, nothing. The game simply isn't launching. I have no idea why. =/
I also found that what I was launching before was the RustClient.exe
That launches, but of course the EAC does not work when that is launched.
But the Rust.exe does not launch in the folder nor through Steam.
-
Had the same problem.
After turning off Avira it was gone ;)
EAC seems to have some problems with security-software like Antivir-Avira and Caspersky
-
I don't have any anti virus software.
And I'm finding out that it's not EAC that's not working, it's the fact that Rust isn't even launching through steam.

Try running steam as Admin for all users.

Did not work.
