Rust screwed up my internet every time I've played it, so far - Rust

I've played Rust twice so far, both times on US East Coast and after about 10-15 minutes or so the game just disconnects from the server and then boots me out without any message or warning. After it boots me all of the servers on the list disappear and refreshing does nothing. Both times after it happened I exited the game and my Steam wasn't connected properly, and my web browser wouldn't function correctly, yet somehow my teamspeak 3 still works and I can chat with my friends whilst all of this is happening. After a restart it is fixed. Is this a common problem?

I have the same problem except it takes out my entire internet. Didn't think it was a rust issue, but it only seems to happen when I play it. I can play League and M&B without any internet hitches but then my internet goes down 5 minutes into rust.

Maybe Rust is bandwidth intensive and your internet provider is throttling/disconnecting your connection?

I really hope somebody knows how to fix this, I'd love to play this game for more than 15 minutes..

I play ARMA 3 pretty often, and that has no problems. And I have a 60mbps dl and a 15mbps ul if my memory serves me correctly, so I shouldn't be having any problems with that.

Is there an update for your Ethernet drivers?

[QUOTE=elixwhitetail;42738250]Is there an update for your Ethernet drivers?[/QUOTE] No, unfortunately it looks like the last one was made in 2011/11/14. It's a Bigfoot Killer NIC card built into my Gigabyte G1 Assassin 2 mobo. [editline]2nd November 2013[/editline] It looks like the drivers automatically update themselves, so it should be fine, I think anyways.. [editline]2nd November 2013[/editline] I'm still getting this error on my other rig, i'm going to try out my secondary rig and see how it goes. [editline]2nd November 2013[/editline] On my secondary computer it disconnected after about 15 minutes without warning and cut off my whole internet connection to the computer for a few seconds.

been having weird rubberbanding pretty severe ever since the selfmurder exploit patch went live.

Does that mean player movement is server-side now?? If so, awesome sauce (I mean, aside from rubber banding of course) because that would make noclipping way harder.

I'm going to try replacing my router since this error happened on both of my pcs, and I'll post how it goes.

Tophat, I want you to try one thing, unless you've already done this. I presume you've already restarted your router in trying to get this to stop happening, but please follow these steps anyway. You don't need to disconnect any ethernet cables for any of this, we're only talking about power cables if I tell you to unplug something. Step 1: Turn off your computers, unplug power to the modem and router. Step 2: Plug in modem, wait 3 minutes or until the lights go to their stable, normal state (note that they won't look completely normal because the router isn't on, so there's nothing talking to the modem) Step 3: Plug in router, boot up one of your machines Step 4: Once you're online, try Rust, see if it makes the network poop itself There haven't been many reports of this, so I'm hesitant to call this a Rust bug; it's more likely a bug arising from the interaction between Rust's network traffic and something in your local network. Replacing the router might fix it, since those things literally do go senile after a while. True story, one of mine once decided that it just wasn't going to do port forwarding anymore. Absolutely everything else was fine, wireless worked, everyone could get online, but nope, fuck your port forwarding. Everything was set correctly in the panel, Linksys don't care. Full factory reset? Hah, you underestimate how determined that router was to stop port-forwarding. :v:

I have one of those Rogers modem routers and it's absolutely horrid, I've gone through 5 so far. I think I'll get their next best one tomorrow instead. As it stands my game is getting stuck on loading: connecting... I hope my game hasn't screwed up even more or something :(

Oh, you've got Rogers? Fuck, all bets are off. :v: I don't know of any specific compatibility issues with Rogers equipment, that was kind of a joke. I have them for my wireless service. They can stay away from the west as far as home service goes. The loading: connecting thing is happening to others. (Just look at the thread titles on the first page.)

A new router fixed my problem, hoorah! Now if only we could fix those assholes that KoS all the time..

I'm having a similar issue, except it's only TeamSpeak I disconnect from frequently. My roommate on his PC has been having his whole internet stop working and I wonder if it's when I'm playing Rust as well. I kept thinking I was having routing issues to the teamspeak server, but now after playing other games for a while, as soon as I loaded up Rust and connected to a server I lost connection on teamspeak. Makes no sense :O
