Rust Crashing at Asset Warmup – "Memory Could Not Be Written" Error

[FlashJack]

Issue:
Rust crashes around the end of asset warmup with the following error message:

"The instruction at 0x00007FFAE9F03920 referenced memory at 0x000001EB983FFFE8. The memory could not be written.
Click on OK to terminate the program."

Sometimes, it also crashes without an error message.

What I've Tried:
Reinstalled Rust & Verified Game Files (Including wiping the Rust folder from steamapps and AppData) (No effect)
Ran RustClient.exe as Administrator (Leads to EAC error: "Authentication timed out (1/2)")
Disabled XMP (No change)
Ran MemTest86 (No RAM errors detected, even with XMP enabled)
Launched with Potato Graphics & Borderless Mode (No change)
Turned Off Optimized Loading (No change)
Checked Temps & Other Games (No issues in any other game)

None of these solved the issue.

System Specs:
GPU: RX 7900XTX
CPU: Ryzen 7 9800X3D
RAM: 32GB DDR5-6000
Storage: Samsung SSD 990 EVO 2TB

Additional Notes:

Game crashes near the end of asset warmup.
Running as administrator causes an EAC authentication timeout.
I have no issues with any other games, including other demanding titles.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! If anyone has experienced this issue or found a fix, please let me know. Thanks!
