Hello there! I'm a Rust noob who recently bought Rust in the last steam summer sale but am running into trouble in getting the darn thing to work. The game boots perfectly and I'm able to access the main menu just fine. However, the problem arises when I go to join a server, it loads fine as far as I can tell (it ends at the monument loads and I assume that's normal) but when the game gets ready to finally give me control the game stops. No freezing or soft-locking, just straight up stops. About half of the time It'll tell me that a certain system 32 file is untrusted by Rust, that file being dgbhelp.dll. Of course I have looked into this and tries numerous fixes like running a scan on command prompt and trying to restore any broken files. Verdict? Didn't work. I tried replacing the said file. Verdict? Didn't work on the account that my my PC refuses to let me because it won't let me use admin privileges. Look, I'm not asking for a miracle I just want to play Rust.
TLDR; Servers won't load and system 32 is dummy head. Currently smashing my head into my desk.
Im going through the same problem. I've tried updating my graphics drivers, updating my windows, reinstalling Rust, reinstalling steam, verifying integrity of my files, troubleshooting and a ton more. If you want a little more guidance this MIGHT help you.

Non of it worked and I'm pretty sure the last bit of advice is impossible because I can't find the file. Thank you for your help anyways.
