16 friggin GB of RAM is not enough for Rust? Are you kidding me?

I can play GTA5 and even 7days2die (which is notorious for RAM abuse) perfectly fine but my computer goes on strike even before I enter a world in Rst? What the ♥♥♥♥ is wrong with your programmers? I closed ALL other programs that I could, Rust gobbles up THIRTEEN GIGABYTES and it still is not enough.

Fix
This
♥♥♥♥

Addendum: I now have extended my virtual memory to all of my THREE harddrives andRust has so far read 27 GB from my HDD.. I just finished a beer waiting for the friggin loading screen to let me into the game.

This user experience is similar to asking for a battery swap under warranty in an official Tesla store..

sure.. Meanwhile I got 32GB RAM but it is still ridiculous that Rust hogs that much RAM.

Have you tried this?

I agree 100%, I can't even load into the SMALL SERVERS. If you can't even run the game on 16GB then there's absolutely no point in even considering an upgrade from 8GB when EVERY OTHER ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ GAME I OWN RUNS FINE.

"Just buy more RAM"
Is not a justification to load THE ENTIRE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ SERVER INTO MEMORY.

Yeah.. Semi-affordable RAM should not warrant lazy programming.. Games that do a LOT more and look a LOT better take half the RAM..

And I can't even tell how it is after playing for an hour or so because I can't even make it into the world my friend is playing on because Rust crashes before..

And I played Rust in Early Access on the SAME computer ffs..

What are you talking about?

I only have 16gb of ram and get 120 fps average at 1440p with an i7 9700 and a 3070 ti

16gb ram is not the issue, im guessing you have a crappy gpu and cpu

No; Windows is explicitly nagging that the PC does not have enough RAM; Maybe it is a server issue (because of the size of the server)

Cpu: i7-4790K, GPU: GTX 980
Not great, not terrible.

Edit: As you might have guessed by my OP mentioning GTA5..

Shrug, ive played on 400+ pop large servers and never had issues.

Do you have a prebuilt? Or visit shady websites? Bloatware/spyware/virus maybe?

Pc overheating?

No; I just limited the size of the virtual memory because I don't want my SSD to die prematurely; I have added 2 more SSDs to my virtual memory and Rust is running fine; But it can't be that I have to unload files from my HDD onto my SSD because Rust thinks it has to load 20-30 GB into RAM and it can't funtion otherwise... not to mention that the loading times are a nightmare.. GTA 5 is loading faster than Rust on my PC..

you should just leave it on system managed
also only on one drive, stop messing with it and you wont have issues.

Quit complaining, GOY! Don’t think, just buy more ram.

"I just limited the size of the virtual memory because I don't want my SSD to die prematurely".....an overachiever, achieving nothing..............ur SSD will be fine, quit screwing with something u don't need too and then whine when the game doesn't work.

I use a m.2 drive + ryzen 5 with only 16gb of ram.. I load in the game in around 2 minutes, on near max settings using only a 750ti.
While Gta 5 takes like 5 minutes for me to load-
Two completely different games, with 2 completely different ways of pre-rendering graphics.
Ditch those SSD's, upgrade your motherboard, and buy a new m.2 drive for heavy resource games like rust.

I personally cringe every time I upgrade my PC too early; so I understand how it feels.
Used to run rust on a Pentium II processor + 8 gigs of ram.
Now that ♥♥♥♥ took f0oo0orEver.
Haven't found a legit reason to upgrade my graphics card yet though.. lol
Buying more ram isn't going to magically fix issues with gaming- That's like, similar to asking for a battery swap under warranty in an official Tesla store..
I even run 7D2D on max settings.
I repeat, It's not your ram.

Windows is literally giving me a warng that my system is running out of memory, RAM Usage is at 99% and Rust crashes with random errors during startup, yet is fine if i give it 10 GB more swap-space?

Must be my non-M.2 SSDs..

And you have Rust on your M.2 SSD and are okay with 2 minute loading times?

I can load Fallout76 and Witcher 3 from my HDD in that time. More Assets, bettter graphics, bigger world.

And I won't have issues until my SSD dies on me. I'm not willing to pay 100-200 bucks because of the lazyness of some programmers who put together a shiny minecraft.

Yeah.. I'd rather listen to professionals on this one..
