Having same problem here, so I know how you feel. From what I've been able to figure out, EAC randomly just doesn't work with some people's Windows installation, and the only solution is to reinstall your OS. I've contacted EAC for help but I'm still waiting to hear back. :(

just spitballing, but i do notice among the tasks running is your VPN software; i would try disabling/turning off the VPN in case that is bugging out EAC.

Turn off your VPN and make sure you do all your Windows Updates. I would also uninstall Avast completely and get a different antivirus program, but that may not be necessary to fix this error so don't jump into doing that first.

We're currently looking into this issue. It seems to be related to AVG or Avast, when Steam\SteamApps\common\rust\Rust.exe has been set to run as Administrator. Please check the Rust.exe's properties via Windows Explorer, and under the 'Compatibility' -tab make sure that the 'Run as Administrator' -checkbox is *not* checked. If you have it currently checked, untick it, save and try starting it again from Steam. Does this help?

I fixed things early in the morning 3.50am so didn't take the time to post here, but what i did. -Reinstalled again everything -Make Steam run as admin -Make Rust.exe and RustClient.exe in compatibility mode for windows 8 plus run as admin -Make EasyAntiCheat.exe in C:/Windows/SystemWOW64 run as admin and compatibilty mode for w8 It fixed the Error and the game is starting again, it takes like 6min to get to the main menu, don't know why loading items take so much time, cause when i run it from RustClient.exe it's so much faster but anyway i can play now ! >< Thank you all for reading ^w^ !

Hey, you've given me some new things to try, as I'm still trying to get it to work myself. May I ask why you set it to compatibility mode for Windows 8? (is Windows 8 your OS?) [B]Edit:[/B] Well, that was short-lived. Turns out I don't even have EasyAntiCheat.exe in my SysWOW64 folder. I think it's supposed to install when you launch Rust for the first time but that's where I get the "Rust.exe has stopped working" message every time. Glad you got it working, though.

@Noir1899, Could you try running manually the Steam\SteamApps\common\rust\EasyAntiCheat\EasyAntiCheat_Setup.exe, installing Rust and then checking that it finishes successfully? After install, check that there is SysWOW64\EasyAntiCheat.exe and try starting the game from Rust.exe in the folder.

But I do have EasyAntiCheat.exe in my SysWOW64 folder now so that's some progress at least.

Avast is not causing the issue. For now, only solution is reinistalling OS.

[QUOTE=Antiversum;49982833]Avast is not causing the issue. For now, only solution is reinistalling OS.[/QUOTE] pretty sure the people who made the anticheat know better than you.

[QUOTE=mrknifey;49983178]pretty sure the people who made the anticheat know better than you.[/QUOTE] Then it would not work every time and not every now and then.

[QUOTE=Antiversum;49983198]Then it would not work every time and not every now and then.[/QUOTE] that's really a false assumption. the system having bugs, and you thinking you know better than the people who can actually see the code are 2 separate issues.

[QUOTE=trustinrocks;49984620]Is there a reason why you recommend using a different antivir instead of avast?[/QUOTE] Avast's caused problems with EAC in the past.
