When troubleshooting user issues we may ask you to attempt to launch Rust with EasyAntiCheat disabled so we can confirm with 100% confidence if an issue is being caused by EAC.
Very rarely, EAC will conflict with your system and prevent you from playing Rust. If we can confirm that EAC is causing any issues then we can best inform you on how to solve these issues.
For example, if you are having issues launching Rust regularly but not issues with launching Rust with EAC disabled then there is a high likelihood your issue is being caused by EAC.
How do I launch Rust with EAC disabled?
Locate your Rust install directory:
If you did not manually set an install directory for games when setting up Steam then your Rust directory will be located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Rust
If you are unsure on where your Rust directory is then you can locate it via the Steam library.
- Open the Steam library
- Right-click on Rust
- Press ‘properties’
- Go to ‘local files’
- Hit ‘browse’
- Open "RustClient.exe" from your Rust folder:
RustClient.exe is the Rust game application without the EAC wrapper. Launching this will be the same as Rust but without EAC, this means you will only be able to connect to unsecure servers (more on this in the next step).
Connect to the "Facepunch unsecure" Rust server:
Depending on the nature of your issue, your game may crash before you get to the main menu, before you have connected to a server or during play.
If you have been crashing before the main menu and launching Rust with EAC disabled means you get to the main menu, great! Let our support staff know.
If this doesn't apply to you then carry on:
Launching Rust with EAC disabled means that you will only be able to connect to EAC-unsecure servers. These servers will not display in the server browser.
Once you're on the main menu, press F1 to access the in-game console and typeconnect 79.137.98.20:28021Then hit enter. You should now be loading into the server.
Please report your experience with these steps back to Facepunch support staff so they can assist you further.

So i was able to get a bit farther, i started to hear the menu music and then it crashed
it happened same to me
x favor ayuda me esta pasando esto ase como 1 mes se me crachea el juego
Looks like EAC is clashing with the version from Fortnite, when I try test as above it get
I dont know guys but I'M SO HAPPY I CAN PLAY SINGLE PLAY NOW.
because i got EAC Banned because i played roblox with an exploit so opened rust and got EAC lol
I have a bunch of games that use EAC and I only have issues with rust, only for about a month now. not sure what caused it and I've opened 2 tickets with staff just for both to get marked 'solved' before I got a follow up response. running the game without EAC I didn't lag at all, running it with EAC I get so much lag that it looks like I'm getting pictures of the game, fps counter shows 20 when its happening but normally I'd be getting around 110fps. also with EAC enabled somehow it stops lagging while I'm holding right click, but thats not feasible to attempt to play holding my right click the entire time. just really not sure what to do now.
My rust game doesn't work when EAC is enabled, it crashes. But as soon as I launch it without EAC the game works. This will start on Thursday May 9, 2024 following an update. I see that on the Steam discussion forum there are several of us in this situation.
my PC freeze every time i enter server with EAC on.
As soon as i try this method all works fine. Please fix so i can play normal servers :(
I want to ask if there are any other servers in which you can log in with a ban?
So, it would appear that EAC is causing my comp to freeze when I connect to a server.
I did this method to play rust without EAC and it went fine.
Salam. When I start the game, there is no problem. When it starts to connect to the server, it loads the server, then when it wants to join the server, the PC tells me to either connect the game or to watch for the problem to be solved, even if I watch, it does not get better.
When I joined the server you provided, it said this. It goes back to the beginning and does not connect to the server.

真的服了这个B游戏莫名其妙给我EAC了，去你马的开发者真的傻B！！那些作弊者不封禁，我们没有作弊的封一大堆！
يعني، سياسة “صفر مسؤولية” هذه… هاها، سخيفة بكل معنى الكلمة!
تحبون جمع الفلوس، صح؟ بس لما يأتي الأمر للغشاشين… حتى التعامل معهم ما تعرفون!
تحظرون “الفرص الثانية” وكأنكم تتبعون الصفر حرفيًا،
يا له من تناقض!
لو كنتم جادين، كان لازم تمسكوا بالغشاشين بشكل فعلي،
لكن بدل ذلك، تفضلون المال وتبتعدون عن أي مسؤولية،
حقًا، سياسة “صفر تسامح وصفر مسؤولية” على أصولها~
This company only likes money not user
EAC... sucks
