Stuck on "Receiving Data" screen

[MoonSire I Is this the end?]

Stuck on "Receiving Data" screen, on every server. Someone else??? Can this be fixed ASAP?

[SHiiKARii]

Had the same problem.

1.) close steam

2.) start steam as admin.

3.) Start Rust

*3.1) go to rust.exe -> run as admin


I think EAC has some problems by using steam on normal startup

This issue is effecting thousands of Rust players right now.... Facepunch has yet to try and fix it.

Indeed, this is terrible

So I was told the secret is to have a friend kill the person stuck at receiving data. This is why Mods can TP them over and that cures it.... SO the cure to this is, while stuck at "receiving data" you are "technically" spawned now, and can get murdered.... AND you can also F1 KILL which achieves teh same effect, and then you can respawn like normal. Cured.

Hi,

I tried the following steps and that worked for me (unfortunately I don't know exactly wich combination):

- start steam as admin
- close family mode
- clear download cache:
1. Go to settings
2. Then downloads
3. Clear download Cache
- change launche options:
1) Right click Rust in your Library and press properties
2) Press "set launch options"
3) In there, copy and paste these commands: -force-gfx-direct
4) Press OK and try to play.
- lower the graphical settings

Good luck!

Sorry for necro but what exactly helped you?

I am also experiencing this issue,
I have tried everything possible on literally pages and pages of threads.
This glitch that affects a small portion of the community really shows that the devellopers don't care that we are affected by this problem. Hopefully they fix this issue soon because lots of people are missing out on a game they love.

Its not really and issue when its affecting only 0.0001% of players tho but still would be nice to get a fix
