RUST DOES NOT START

[Heinsenberg22]

I tried to start Rust and it didn't let me start it, it got stucked on the easy anti-cheat initialization for some reason.

EAC has a LOT of issues.

Option 1)

Open

Steam\steamapps\common\Rust\EasyAntiCheat

And use the Setup and it should have option to uninstall the EAC.

Locate the "EasyAntiCheat" folder and delete it completely if any leftovers are there.

Then verify your game files which should re-install EAC.

Option 2)

open cmd prompt with admin privilege/powershell with admin & paste:

Dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

wait until it’s finished & then

Sfc /Scannow

Also make sure a 3rd party anti-virus is not blocking EAC, check for Windows and Driver Updates.

There are no issues whatsoever. I have over 1000 hours (500+ kills, 40+ raids) this wipe alone without any problems. Proof[ibb.co]
