RUST crashes while joining server. No error message. No crash Report.

[ThisIsJamer]

When I choose a server, the server will start to load and then midway it will crash. I have never had this issue with RUST before, nor do I have this issue with any other game I have installed on the same drive.

-I have read and tried every fix I could find in steam discussions, reddit, and any other source available.

My system:
AMD Ryzen 1700
GTX 970SC
16BG 2400mhz RAM
Samsung 850 EVO 500GB (boot drive and main game drive which only includes PUBG, 7 Days to Die, and RUST)


This is what I have tried:
-Running Steam as administrator
-Running RUST as administrator
-Deleting client.cfg file
-Setting graphics settings in game to the bare minimum and loading into a small map server
-Uninstalling and reinstalling Steam
-Uninstalling and reinstalling EAC
-Uninstalling and reinstalling RUST
-Uninstalling and reinstalling GPU and GFX drivers
-Increasing virtual memory
-Restoring windows to a date before the issue (12/12/2019)

There was a few other off the wall things that I tried because people claimed it was a fix but had no success. they seemed like accidents anyways.

I am looking for any information that could be useful at this point.

Thank you for reading and thank you in advance for responding.

yo, is it when loading small monuments and have you fixed it yet?

Mine was discord causing it to not work, try closing that if you have it

Did not resolve. It seems this is a widespread issue that started with the christmas update. I am just waiting for the next update to see if anything changes.

UPDATE:
I was hoping that the January update would end up fixing the problem, but it didn't. Still the same problem.

I have submitted a ticket directly through Facepunch Support. Link Below

tryclosing every program in the background ive had this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ issue for days now and i found closing discord and teamspeak would fix it and then launch it when your game is in a server

all i did to fix this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ - i had to install a fresh windows :) and everything is working now . i didn't update my nvidia drivers to newest one , so maybe thats the case !

I know a way to log into the server and run for 5-15 seconds.
To do this, skip the asset warmap.
Start logging on to the server and after the asset warmap starts, click the close button. And try again to enter the server.

i have the same problem.it freezes when it's at the end of a loading on "cleaning up" . I entered a server once but just for a few seconds (5)

I may have found a solution !!!
I managed to log in 2 times to the server, without any problems.
I have my homemade keyboard which consists of 3 devices, including mouse emulation. When disconnecting it from the computer, I calmly boot into the server and then connect it back.
Try disconnecting the mice and keyboards from the computer at boot time.
