Anti-Cheat issues

[SashaRose]

I've been trying to play Rust on my new computer. Everything is fine until I get to where I select a server and click on it. I keep getting Disconnected:EAC:Anti-cheat client protection not active(Null client). I uninstalled the game and reinstalled it and it's doing the same thing. Is there some way to reinstall Anti-cheat so I can play? I have over 650 hours on the game and it worked fine on my old computer.

Here is a search of the game forum for Rust for that message. See what they did to fix it :

EDIT........

However rawWwRrr below is right. if it's a game specific issue, it's best to post in that game's forum.
