• Game broke TWO of my machines!

Alright, I love rust but forgive me for ggetting very pissed off when it breaks TWO of my machines. I played it on my computer with an AMD Radeon HD 7850 and then my graphics card stopped working after a while and now when I boot it, the screen is multicolor and fuzzy. I've ran in safe mode, uninstalled drivers, installed new ones and everything and it is 100% the gfx drivers because when they are not there the comp boots. So I loaded up my Mac Mini with rust and started playing. Immediately before loading the level, the Mac crashed and I had no choice but to force restart and when I did, what a shocker, fuzzy screen... When I see fuzzy, I mmean every pixel is a solid random colour. It's fucking ridiculous, any suggestions. I've only just fixed the mac by doing some weird resets.

The worst Rust has done to my 7950 is bring the temps up to like 60-70 at 60% fanspeed.
My fan speed is 100% and gpu is 80-90 celsius
Bwahahahaha, should have got a windows machine! All kidding aside, do you never monitor your GPU temperatures? Seriously, if you aren't monitoring, then it is your own fault.
Maybe you people should adjust your fan settings or temperature limit? I understand this could be a problem on a laptop because some dont have heat sensor capabilities but on a desktop you have no excuse really. It would be the same for any other game that works your system hard.
Getting mad when your Mac doesn't properly play a game is akin to getting upset when your toaster doesn't cook your steak well...

I for one highly doubt this game ruined your video card. I bet it was more human error than anything else.
There are programs out there which display your GPU and CPU temps on screen, along with fan speed. They are tucked away in the corner in very subtle text, I can't remember any specifics since I use two screens with system info on one and games on the other, but your best bet to not have it happen again is to get one of those.

But any video card should turn its fan up in response, or at least shut down from overheating before any damage occurs. Something is borked for OP.

Ok,did i understand it correctly. You are pissed that you dont control the Temperature from your GPU,destroy your GPU and now you mean it was Rust. Hmm i understand that you are pissed.I would it be too. But i dont think that its the Issue of Rust. Maybe a shitty GPU? Maybe dont cleaned your PC? Maybe the Fan of the GPU is crap? I overclocked my GPU with the Standard Fan and i am 20 c° under the max Temperature which Nvidia tells me.So sorry,but if you buy crap or dont check the Temperature,its your fault. If the Card was new,send it back to the producer.Maybe they made an Error on the Production.
how often do u dust ur computer? my gtx780 has a stock cooler and is made to run at 80c and does so with 70-120fps. chances r dust is killing ur pc not rust. or maybe just really bad airflow/cable management. P.S. thhis is with setting graphics manually through NIVIDA control panel to all of its max settings. so 32csaa, 8x supersampling, triple buffer ect. 0.0

It'll run my card at 96% all the time, but my card wont hit higher than 71c since ive got the fan under manual control and am monitoring. Rust doesn't hit my card as hard as that and i never see even 65c with rust. That said im running a 7870 ghz edition with a 6 core FX. All on air cooling. I cant imagine temps getting much higher than 70 if your monitoring. If they are, try the old ghetto-rig method of taking the side off and putting a box fan aimed at your PC.

I have a PC and a Mac, with the Mac only being used when my Windows comp broke. Funny, because I got the Mac for free and I'm sure any of you would have took one for free aswell. Anyway, I can handle BF4 on High at 70FPS and my GFX card stays at a cosy temp - however, with rust, why should I have to monitor the heat for a game that I run in Good quality. It's made in Unity, so it should be pretty well optimized. I play with grass off aswell. I can tell when my GPU is getting hot because the extractor fan near my feet gets warm, since the GPU is like the hottest thing since I have a decent haswell processor. The Mac fixed but the Windows machine won't.

Mac sux, buy a PC.

"why should I have to monitor the heat..." ur right. why should i have to watch the temp of my engine in my car? why should i check my oil or tire pressure. maybe because its a machine and machines need maintenance. ppl just expect things to work and thats not how anything works. everything needs maintenance.
[QUOTE=Joseph Clover;43264379]It's made in Unity, so it should be pretty well optimized.[/QUOTE] Do you not understand what Early Access means? Nothing about Unity allows something to be better optimized, especially by default, and most especially when it's still in development and very unfinished. Rust is not very optimized at all, at the moment, though this is intended to change in the future. The quality settings in the launcher don't really do much except make things worse. Try running it in Fantastic, the quality settings that actually matter and are calibrated are in the game's internal options. Your PC GPU shouldn't be heating up to the point where it's suffering damage, [B]especially[/B] if you had Vsync forced on in Catalyst CC when running Rust. Have you updated your drivers recently?
"Oh wow, my computer just died and I think rust is to blame... Let's test it again just to be sure!" "Oh wow, my second computer just died and I think rust is to blame... Let's cry about it on the forum!" I will give you credit, at least you didn't test it on a third machine.

Buy a computer that isn't shitty.
maybe if you didn't play a game intently that was still practically in alpha you wouldn't be having this problem
