Crash on Startup, message "Rust has encountered an error and must close"

[percypants]

Every time I start up Rust, a window opens for rust to load, then a different window opens saying that there is a crash report, and that I should send the info to you guys for help. I've looked at the error and searched around a lot on Facepunch & Steam forums to no avail, updated my drivers, verified game cache, restarted my computer, reinstalled Rust from scratch, but to again, no avail.
I was playing Rust for a good while before the issue, and it kind of came out of the blue. I know the post is really long, but I hope it has the info you guys need. Also, there is another file labeled crash.dmp, but I don't really know how to submit files, and I can't figure out how to open it.
