THANKS!
If this is the fix, my assumption is they forgot to change a flag from the dev version going to production, and thus the game sees a mismatch until you change to that option. Should be an easy fix for them to push back out, hopefully they will shortly.

Hey I just bought a copy of the game and installed it, it didn't work at first. I could only run legacy. So i googled it then I found out I needed to go to properties and set to beta. so I did that and it had me download the update. I did that then when I click run it has me choose which one I want to do rust or legacy when i choose rust it just closes the selector and then just does nothing, would you happen to know a fix?
