• rust experimental direct launch
    8 replies, posted
Hello. I'm wondering if there is a way to create a desktop link to rust experimental. Right now I have to go to steam and select it every time.
Right click Rust in Steam, select "Create Desktop Shortcut"
it creates a shortcut to rust legacy. what I'm missing?
[QUOTE=matteogeniacc;46103802]it creates a shortcut to rust legacy. what I'm missing?[/QUOTE] Rightclick your Desktop, New/Shortcut, in Path add: [code] D:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\Rust\experimental\RustClient.exe [/code] Change code to fit your own location of Rust Experimental.
nope, it launches rust but then I cannot connect to any server since steam is not loaded with it.

I'm sure Experimental will have it's own GameID some day. *EDIT* Typos.
Make the shortcut launch Rust.exe instead of Rustclient.exe out of the experimental directory. Rust.exe initializes EAC and then hands control to Rustclient.exe which is the actual game binary.
