I did find a work-around for this. Went to the local files on my comp and ran RustClient,exe as Admin (from a limited account)

I'm having this problem also.

Although I have tried your solution before - when I do that I'm only able to connect to a server for 20~ seconds, then I'm kicked out.

I've uninstalled twice. Set everything to run as admin, added exceptions to my virus protection/firewalls and haven't found a solid solution yet.

I'm just glad I wasn't the only one that experienced this problem, maybe someone will know a fix.

[WabbitSlayer]

Same issue. - also disconnects when i use the "workaround" :S (Development Branch, right?)

[coragator]

yes, for 'new' rust,
Error 13 - (I'm assuming it's permissions)
Made a shortcut directly to desktop to the RustClient.exe file in the local Rust files (right-click rust on steam->properties->local files->browse local files).
Ran the shortcut as admin, runs the program, but I now have the 30-second server disconnect issue

[MincedMeatMole]

Same here. Still no solutions I guess? With the workaround I get kicked out of the game as soon as I join a server

[coragator]

Yes, I can even 'play' for a few seconds, if I turn graphics all the way down. However, server kicks me after ~25-30 seconds from connection (this includes loading time). Game loads faster, I can get a whole 5 seconds in. Doesn't add that server to my History. Someone told me it might be a fault with the anti-cheat.

I have a second comp, not really a playing comp (Win 8.1, specs too low), but it will load the game without issue. So I know it's not my account

Yah, I am having the very same problem, error 13.. cant find a fix anywhere, if anyone knows a fix please share.

[Ion Cur]

This needs more attention. There's no support team to contact to even try to troubleshoot it either.

[Wolf]

I have googled and searched for answers, even tried there little forum they call "support" typicaly the best answers out there doesnt come from a support forum, and yah this needs real attention, its been a couple months since i had been able to play this game..

[MincedMeatMole]

Problem was fixed with todays update for me - maybe you should give it another try

[Ion Cur]

Unfortunately, it didn't fix it for me. Not knowing what the problem is, is the worst part.
