How can i disable EAC on my dedicated servrer.

[BlueRed]

Hi i want to try out the rust dedicated server but without eac i have tried to start my server with server.eac 0 but eac seems to be active. The reason is i want to try out the game and dont want to mess up my normal client pc with that EAC crap (it installes a driver wich i dont want to allow cause i afraid it will affect the performance of my pc (esp. the DPC latency)

[BlueRed]

solved ... thread can be closed :-)

Please what? I ask to diasable EAC and i get offended... thats a nice, good community, thank you.
As mentiond above i will not install any system level driver just for a game. I use my pc mainly as audio workstation and not as gaming pc ... and so i am very concernd about every driver or system near api whitch gets installed.

As mentioned above... problem solved... i am able to run the server and to join the server without EAC.

Also, good luck streaming rust through steam... just read that EAC stops that - trying to show a friend something and NOPE!

No because EAC blocks any virtual input. So it blocks any input from the steam in home streaming. Its part of the way they try to block cheats. So they block anything and everything to stop hackers.

Not even sure if twitch software will work in this case - a big PITA just to show a friend (who doesn't play rust) something. *SMDH*

Would you be able to post the solution you found? Me and my friends are trying to play together on a locked server and we trust each other so there's no point in having EAC running in the background, and it causes problems for a few of us.

Please tell us how did you do it

Not the OP, but I had to do the same to be able to play on my dedicated server with Proton on Linux (EAC just doesn't work in Wine/Proton, so any public server are unavailable for me "by design"). Add the following options to the startup command:

+server.secure 0 +server.eac 0 +server.encryption 0

Or, if you're using a server.cfg, add these lines:

server.secure "0"
server.eac "0"
server.encryption "0"

Remember that the game won't show up in the public server lists if EAC and/or security is disabled, so you have to connect by pressing F1 and enter

client.connect <IP>:<port>

in the in-game console.

This actually makes very little sense.

"Concerned about drivers" XD

Whatever floats ur boat big guy.
EAC is the top anti cheat currently for games, it is well known and probably used by more people than any other driver on your pc.

Its not heavy, doesnt conflict with other programs, and there is really no good reason not to use it on a rust server.

If you have run that server off your home pc, which by the looks of the batch commands you did, a player with a small amount of skill can now logon to it and flood your network, potentially even inject scrds and all kinds of things. Port forward and no residential protection would be able to stop it.

But do your thing.

Note that with EAC Disabled, your server will either be eventually unlisted to the public or it will always be forced to the end of the server list.

server.eac is a very old legacy setting that no longer exists so you don't need that
