• Rust crashes on Assets loading after latest Win 10 update
    4 replies, posted
Yesterday my win 10 was updated and since then, every time I join any server, Rust freezes and crashes on the loading screen. Assets loading 86/XXXXX I´ve tried to go back with an restoration point on win 10, without success. I´ve check the Rust file for integrity... all OK. I´ve no ideia where and how to enable debugging in rust under windows. Any thoughts? regards CrazyGerman
First of all, debugging is not a thing you will be doing. Anticheat would ban you for hooking debugging tools into the running game (which looks identical to a hacker looking to cheat in the game). Second, can you please provide your system specs? CPU, GPU, RAM, and also your virtual memory settings. P.S. I'm not a Rust dev.
Hi Elix, thanks for your reply! With debugging I ment a log file where I can see why Rust crashes... I´ve tried Microsofts Debugger, but there are no recordings regarding Rust. I´ve playing on a Notebook: Prozessor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6300HQ CPU @ 2.30GHz, 2301 MHz, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M with 2gb of Ram 8Gb of Ram M1 SSD 240Gb Using no Virtual memory Regards
Well there you go. Rust runs your system out of memory and when it can't request more (because there is literally none) it crashes. 8GB of RAM is the minimum for Rust now. Why this happened specifically after a Win10 update, I don't know, and it's possible that there could be another issue on top of memory starvation, but let's deal with the problem we can easily fix first. Ideally, in the long-term, you'd want to upgrade your laptop to 16GB of RAM if possible, and on many notebooks it will not be possible but others are friendly to upgrade so you'll have to check. However, for now, I'm not going to worry about this, because we should be able to get Rust running, if not as well, by increasing virtual memory. I recommend you allocate 16GB of virtual memory to Windows, then restart your computer and try Rust again. If you have no virtual memory set at all, then when programs use up all 8GB of your computer's physical RAM and need more, there is no more and the only thing the program can do is immediately abort execution and crash. With virtual memory, Windows has disk (in your case SSD) space allocated to use as overflow, even if it's slower, so it has the capacity to manage things and move unused data out of immediate execution range to make room for a program needing more memory to run.
Hi Elix, thanks a lot!!! That solved the problem! Rust is now running again! What I cant understand is why it ran before without any virtual memory.... Even my FPS was great... I was planning a RAM upgrade up to 16gb, but I discovered that my notebook has 2x4gb ram modules instead of 1x8gb... So 1 must buy 2x8gb ram modules Bes regards!
