Rust Launch Error - Could not connect to the EasyAntiCheat network

[Riga Morty]

Hey, Since the last update I can't play rust I get the error popup with the following;
Rust Launcher Error: NetworkError - Could not connect to the EasyAntiCheat network.

I tried removing local content and re-installing rust but it's made no difference.

I would like to play but can't please help.

Hi,

We have now modified our backend to feed the anticheat module by HTTP protocol.

As its still under testing, could you try if it fixes the issue for you? To test, download and replace your existing EasyAntiCheat .DLL files in Steam\SteamApps\Common\Rust\EasyAntiCheat\ with these files: http://sandra.easyanticheat.net/test/ and then start the game from Steam again.

If it works we will update it to everyone.

no help. replaced the .dll with the one in your link and now i dont even get the warning stating that the easyanticheat has a problem

[Hypnosis]

I am also having the same problem. Please fix soon!!

If you have replaced the files at Steam\SteamApps\Common\Rust\EasyAntiCheat\ with these files: http://sandra.easyanticheat.net/test/ and it still does not work, then the problem has to be in your firewall and/or antivirus program which is interfering with EAC.

We have confirmed that these files will fix the problem and we will release a patch soon that contains this fix. Unfortunately if the problem is caused by firewall and/or antivirus replacing the files wont help.

Hi,

I replaced the files and it worked, thanks nago.

Well.

Unfortunately I`m an OSX 10.9.2 User.
I don´t even have a ...\EasyAntiCheat\ Folder.

anyway wont be a troll so i decided to create the Folder and put the DLL File in.
And of course it wont work. no wonder.

Any Ideas or just no more RUST on OSX so far?

Hi,

Unfortunately these files are for Windows only at the moment, but we will release a patch soon that will change the download protocol that EAC uses to HTTP. That will fix the problem for OS X too.

I have replaced the DLL files with the ones from the "sandra" subdomain of easyanticheat.net to no avail. This is my first time installing Easy Anti-Cheat, and every time I go to play Rust and thereby install Easy Anti-Cheat, the installer fails after finishing stating "Rust launcher Error: InstallationError - EasyAntiCheat installation failed due to an unknown reason."

Anyone have any luck getting OSX to work? I've tried a couple of things noted here, but no luck since the update. Crashing every 10-15 seconds.

it worked that time when you wrote the update. now this does not work and does not need to refer to the anti-virus as you love to do. why everything worked until the last update. now even your curve cheat does not work

[Werevoif]

I apologize for my curve English

Just a word of caution here. EAC Nago has a VAC ban recorded on his profile.

I'm not saying this guy isn't legit but what I am saying is that if I were any of you looking for a fix on this problem I would not down load anything he links me to.

Wait for the devs to patch through Steam. I know it sucks but it's much better then getting a nasty keylogger or something on your system.

Also keep in mind it's easy to get friends to post on here saying "Yes this works" or "Thanks for the fix EAC Nago"

Lastly always be wary of anyone telling you to down load something and on top of that telling you how your firewall or antivirus software might be the cause of the issue. Sure that can happen from time to time but if you ask me installing a random file from someone who has been VAC banned and who tells me my Firewall is causing issues is crazy.

RisenZealot, I've contacted Easy Anticheat support to see if those files are legitimate, so hopefully they get back to me.
