For anyone crashing (check this first)

[Lone-]

We all know there's a plethora of reasons why games can crash. I'm going to make a nice short list of all the steps I would try first that may or may not help out some of you.

Steps (I'd take)
Restart Client and or Steam (check task manager to make sure 100% they're closed)
Verify Local Game Files (sometimes this repairs lost or corrupt files)

3. Reinstall/Update EAC (Easy Anti Cheat)

4. Make sure 100% you're connected to the right branch of Rust. (Playing on normal servers, then launch normal Rust) (Playing on Staging Early game content servers then play on Rust Staging Branch) Playing on the opposing client from what the server is will cause random crashes when a player dies, hits things, all sorts of issues.

5. Before resulting to last result IF none of the above helped you out then please make sure that all of your graphics drivers and windows/macOS are up to date (Nvidia drivers, AMD drivers, etc)
6. Now if none of those worked, then sadly I'm sorry this hasn't helped you out this far into it yet and the last thing I would try is reinstalling the game and or steam as a whole.

If after all that nothing i suggested help then I'm sorry and more than likely it's an error that isn't totally Rust's fault. Like either a PC that just isn't meant to handle the game, or a broke operating system, who knows. Regardless if you're reading this then I hope one day you figure it out and please post on a forum somewhere to help someone else with the issue!
