• Rust Not Launching
    2 replies, posted
Hello, I'm running into an issue where when I try to launch Rust from Steam, it'll launch the new EAC loading screen, finish loading, then nothing. In my Steam library, it'll go from "Rust - Running" to "Rust - Syncing" (for a split second), to "Rust" as if it's closed down. No crash window. No error.log. Just nothing. I was playing literally the night before I had this problem, and didn't do anything else on my PC between then and attempting to launch. I've: - Updated my ATI driver - Re-installed EAC - Run as administrator - Attempted to launch w/o going through Steam - Rebooted twice - Validated game files twice - Disabled AVG - Closed Discord before launching (to reduce conflicts) Seems like I've tried everything short of reinstalling Rust, which from years-old posts about this, doesn't give me hope for working, though I'll definitely give it a try tonight. Does anyone have any advice on things to try, aside from the steps mentioned above? Worth mentioning, other games on Steam are launching just fine. This is the only one I've run into an issue with. Thanks for any help anyone can provide!
As a follow up, if anyone cares to know, I did end up fixing this by uninstalling Rust (via Steam's uninstaller) from one SSD and reinstalling it on another. I'm unsure if reinstalling on the same drive would've still caused issues. Best of luck to anyone else experiencing this.
