Rust not launching

[rezbow]

I click play in Steam, it gives me the menu to choose Rust or Legacy, after I choose one it appears to launch but nothing happens from there, the game never starts. If I open my Task manager I can see the RustClient.exe file running as well. I've deleted and reinstalled it in case there was an error in the update install, but it's still doing the same thing. Is anyone else having this issue or have any ideas how to resolve it? Thanks.

This is a really old thread and they fixed the issue that was causing it qutie a while ago. You may want to find a more current one to help you solve your issue. Great game and worth the effort of solving whatever is happening.

Did you tried to uninstall rust, and then go to steamapps\common folder and see if Rust folder is still there, if there's still Rust folder, remove it. Then Reinstall the game.
(For example; C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common)

Thank you so much! Thanks to you, i can finally stop playing rust legacy!

I FOUND OUT HOW TO FIX THIS!!!

I've tried all of these suggestions and none have worked until in tried this.

Delete everything rust related on your ://C drive or computer.
open steam, reinstall rust to your computer or "steam library".
Try launching the game once it re-installs.
If still getting "EAC Error" whenever you try to load the server, delete all rust related items again.
Go back to steam, go to game library and right click Rust and select install updates.
Launch Rust FROM STEAM GAME LIBRARY, not a desktop short cut or anything else.
You should see the game settings box before the game launches. Problem should be solved.

hi i just got a messege from easy anti-cheat and he told me this:
"Game Security Violation #0000000D" errors typically display the name of a process that caused it, such as LightingService.exe, SelLed2.exe or MyColor.exe. Closing the process will allow the game to launch without issues. The software in question (usually ASUS Aura or RGB Fusion from Gigabyte) uses vulnerable components that can be exploited for cheating or cause unexpected errors. That is why we recommend closing this application before starting the game. If the vulnerabilities are fixed, the error will no longer be displayed.

i hope it can help :3
