[B]Hey Everyone![/B]
A lot of people [U]including[/U] myself have been having difficulties connecting/loading experimental servers. This solution is only for people using [B]BitDefender.[/B] It's the AV I am using, and what has caused non-loading of experimental servers.
Most common answers you'll get:[B]Uninstall[/B] you [U]DO NOT[/U] have to do this. Another would be [B]client.connect <ip adress>[/B] which is awesome, but does not connect. And of course last but, not least: Add exceptions to your AV [I] (which didn't work)[/I]
[B]The Solution:[/B] Go into your [B]Steam Folder[/B] then[B] Steamapps[/B], followed by [B]Common[/B] and then the [B]Rust Folder[/B] open the folder, open the [B]Experimental[/B] folder. Now! right-click on [B]RustClient.exe[/B] and run as [B]Administrator.[/B]
That fixed servers not loading/not being able to connect! I hope this helps!
[B]Note:[/B] [U]This was only tested on BitDefender AV.[/U]
[U]Specs:[/U]
[B]CPU:[/B]AMD FX-8350
[B]GPU:[/B]MSI R9 290x
[B]RAM:[/B]Patriot 8GB (2x4GB)
[B]Storage:[/B]128GB ADATA SSD/500GB HDD
[B]OS:[/B]Windows 8.1
Running RustClient.exe bypasses loading EAC, which is why it gets past BitDefender. Right now, BD and EAC don't get along, and EAC has contacted BD to work out the conflict. Not loading EAC should keep you from joining servers, and if it doesn't, that's a bug.
The best workaround at the moment is to put exceptions in BitDefender for (steam)\steamapps\common\rust\Experimental\Rust.exe so it leaves the EAC initilization alone.
Did you read my post at all? "The best workaround" [B]doesn't work[/B] for all. I actually even said in my original post adding the exception to [U]BitDefender didn't work.[/U] This is a [B]solution[/B] that worked for me, and others that have been having that issue.
You mean it's a workaround. Launching Rust without going through Steam is not a "solution", because you'd be launching it in Steam if it solved the problem.
Oh fuck, whatever you wanna call it. Workaround, sure. It helped, that's all that matters.

You do realize that running an .exe that's on steam as administrator still runs it on steam. It's not a workaround it's a solution.

Thank you!
Unfortunately it did not work for me. Is garry working on fixing this problem?
