Rust crashing at startup...

[FluxZ]

I just bought Rust during the holiday sale and everytime I try to open the game it crashs while "Loading" the stuff at the initial loading screen. Does anyone know how to fix it, once it just crashed to desktop and most of time it just stops responding.

RUST is crashing when loading without giving an error message. Unable to play RUST at this time. Unknown how to fix this. Checking integrity of game cache and uninstalling + reinstalling does not work to resolve this for me. Drivers are updated, operating system is updated. Protection disabled temporarily as possible troubleshooting for it interfering with the program.

Anyone able to help resolve this crashing issue? I'm out of ideas to try here.

Try open up the game betas and set it to the stable one

(By right clicking on rust in your steam library and then opening up properties)

I know this sounds stupid, but unplug your headphones if you are using them, open the game up and it should load, then plug your headphones back in

i am having the same issue, what would the headphones have to do with anything?

I don't know why, but it works for me, and a lot of other people, just try it
