Rust Crashing On Startup

[Insidiis]

Hi, ever since the force wipe update i have been unable to launch the game. I played the entire week before the update but ever since the game will bootup all the way to the point where it says loading engine UI then it crashes to desktop without any error message or anything. So far I have tried verifying files, adjust virtual ram, ran rust as administrator, did a complete fresh install include all of steam and i deleted all folders using revo uninstaller, launched in compatibility mode, updated all my drivers including windows, and have over 100Gb of free space on the driver and nothing seems to be fixing this issue does anyone have any recommendations?

My pc specs are:
Processor: Intel (R) Core(TM) i7-9700f CPU @ 3.00 GHz 3.00 GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti
RAM: 32 GB
SDD: Samsung SSD 860 EVO 500 GB

I agree it has to be something else because I have plenty of ram available and never before have I had this issue. I still have not found a solution sadly.

its your wifi, i have the same issue and have tested loading up with and without a vpn or proxy both times rust will load with a vpn or proxy. Note: do not connect to a server with a vpn on as you will be banned almost instantly

feel free to test it yourself to make sure its not a single instance bug
