Cant get past loading/connecting - Rust

hi there, just purchased off steam, downloaded and fired up no issues. when i go to join a server, i simply double click on it, then it goes to the loading(connecting...) grey screen and sits there. tried various servers and have the same issue. Ive had a look around for a fix to this but cant seem to find anything. closed and reopened many times etc too. running windows 8 / 64bit, running directly from the steam client.

I've had the exact same problem, and STILL haven't found a solution.. sucks =/

well thats annoying. $20 each wasted, no reply from anyone else so it may not be resolved yet. hoping someone can actually help with this !!!!

Try posting more information: Full Computer Specs - CPU / GFX / RAM / OS What version are you running? Have you Verified your game Cache on Steam? Have You Reinstalled? Is your Internet Connection configured correctly? - Firewall? Router?

yes its been verified no redownload has been done. considering its happening to others i dont think this is going to be a fix. i5/geforce vid / 8gb/win8 im runnign whatever the latest was, it was only just downloaded. yes my internet is configured correctly. yes there is a router, but there has been no instructions on how/what to forward in terms of ports , if any.

[QUOTE=Juvv;43177977]no redownload has been done. considering its happening to others i dont think this is going to be a fix. [/QUOTE] Do that. Why haven't you? It's like a 1gb game. [QUOTE=Juvv;43177977]i5/geforce vid[/QUOTE] This doesn't mean much, you need specifics. What kind of car do you drive? A Ford. Not much info there. Is your account an admin? Are you running 8.1? There is a massive amount of information that can be used to troubleshoot. You're crippling yourself by not including it.

hi, i am having same problem ,it loads fine and then get stuck on character loading.,,here are my comp specs. *Apple macbook pro retina display 2013 model. *Processor 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5 Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB Serial Number C02K7AE3FFRP Software OS X 10.9 (13A603) internet detail * UPC ireland *download speed 30mb/sec *upload speed 12mb/sec *fiber optic wireless internet.

At least you can get to the loading stage.... [URL]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwLny173_zE&feature=youtu.be[/URL] And this is very annoying, as my base will most likely get raided.......

deleted and re downloaded, still the same.

ok so looks like its only some servers that i have the issue with. To test, i just went into a server that wasnt the one I wanted to go into, and that one magically worked. I wonder if its a server side / patching issue?

Just an update, seems to not matter what i connect to, its just so hit and miss. shame really.

I'm getting the same problem.. [QUOTE]CPU Intel i7 4770 3.4Ghz GPU GTX760 (4Gb). RAM 6gb DDR3 RAM OS Windows 8.1 Pro (64-bit) [Version 6.3 (Build 9600)][/QUOTE] I've tried joining a myriad of servers, and almost every time it stays on that loading screen. My graphics card temp goes through the roof for some reason. Every now and again it works; but it feels like pot luck.

It only started happening recently too (for me), albeit I am also using a different connection than I usually use.

yeah its pot luck for sure. 1 in 20 connections will randomly work.
