Still unplayable cause of EAC

[Nightblade91]

I can only play for 20 seconds at a time because I keep getting "Disconnected EAC not registered"

how do I register EAC?

I found a service in services.msc but if I start it, it just stops after 10 seconds

I read a dev say to try the delete service in the cmd but that didnt work either

I have windows 8, no antivirus, I have no firewalls, no realtime protection, nothing

Hi,

If you check with regedit, which EAC service version do you have?

Here's how to check it quickly:
1. [url]http://puu.sh/agA2S/1dc17437df.png[/url]
2. [url]http://puu.sh/agA42/582934b4ac.png[/url]

Open the registry key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\EasyAntiCheat\.

The version should be 2, but if it is 1, you can fix this by re-installing EAC manually. Normally the service would get installed when verifying the game local cache, but this is not possible yet at this point.

To manually re-install EAC, perform the following steps:
1. Create shortcut of EasyAntiCheat_Setup.exe: [url]http://puu.sh/agAap/009627ec37.png[/url]
2. Add "install 12" without quotes to the end of the shortcut: [url]http://puu.sh/agAbM/5ad04f78f4.png[/url]
3. Click Apply, then start the shortcut as Administrator: [url]http://puu.sh/agAcM/3eb23c0cd7.png[/url]

If this doesn't fix the issue for you, please let us know, thanks.

Could you also link to your SteamID / community profile so that we can check if we had any connection from your client to the backend?

[Nyaaaa]

Here's how i fixed it

Step 1: start

Step 2: type regedit

Step 3: click on it regedit program and click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and then SYSTEM and then ControlSet002 or it'll take along time to search

Step 4: press ctrl + f

Step 5: type in EasyAnti -> then edit ImagePath Make sure it says EasyAntiCheat_Setup.exe and nothing else

Step 6: it should say [QUOTE]C:\Windows\System32\EasyAntiCheat.exe[/QUOTE] But change it too
[QUOTE](What ever drive your steam is on):\Steam\SteamApps\common\Rust\experimental\EasyAntiCheat\EasyAntiCheat_Setup.exe[/QUOTE] Make sure there are no spaces in the Setup install, Since facepunch adds them

Step 7: You're all complete and you've fixed your rust.

And it'll work, I just fixed my rust for experimental doing this.

Mine worked for windows vista so it depends on your system yours is windows 7 as i can see from the icon so it might be in a different directory, but for all windows vista that have it stuck on it that's your fix.

Yours might be under HKEY_CURRENT_USER

Your rust is corrupt then re-install delete the content on where you installed it and uninstall and reinstall from the menu, You'll then get 2 folders 1 for experimental and 1 for legacy and another new folder, That's the only thing i can think of, It happened to me and that's how i fixed it.

I reinstalled rust twice already and still didn't work.

@Dewm: I'd need your SteamID / link to profile to get the Steam GUID to make search on database.

@Nightblade91: Thanks for the link! I'll check the connection logs and see if we ever got to know your game client, I'll let you know soon.

@Nyaaaa: Thanks for the informative post! It would sound like an AV issue if something blocks the EAC service from being started in system folder, but would start normally outside Admin protected folder. Which anti-virus are you using? And also which Windows version (and 32/64bit) are you using? Thanks!

@ShadowPanda: Can you still start the game from Steam and enter game server before you get kicked, or are you having troubles launching the game?

I am able to start the game an join a server, but after 15 seconds I get disconnected.

[Lethality]

Open Services.msc
Find EAC
Set to Automatic
Start Service
Run Rust Experimental

I faced the same issue for a long time as well. This fixed it for me.

[Digitalshift]

I've also just noticed that upon further inspection I only have a Setup folder and a EasyAntiCheat_x64.dll
and a EasyAntiCheat_x86.dll
But not a third one like eac knubbe showed he had in a screenshot earlier

I'm not a dev for either Rust or EAC, so, not really. Can you provide the error you're getting now?

I've tried that. The problem is I don't even have it I think.
I noticed that someone had shown a screenshot above and it showed 4 different files in their EasyAntiCheat folder.
I'm missing a EasyAntiCheat.dll apparently.
I'm pretty sure that might be the problem.

@Nightblade91, @ShadowPanda, @SexyBigMaMa: It seems that we never got a connection from your game clients to the backend. Are you starting the game from Steam directly? Also are you using 'family sharing' option in Steam for Rust, i.e. are you playing on the account that owns the game or some other account?

@Digitalshift: Those files are fine, you have all of the needed files. Could you try uninstalling EAC and then starting Rust Experimental again from Steam? You can cleanup EAC files by running the installer, but instead of "install" use "uninstall" as described here: [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1410395&p=45426856&viewfull=1#post45426856[/url]

I don't know how to uninstall it.
I see a setup file and that's it.

Also, when I go to; HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\
there is no EasyAntiCheat anywhere.

[eac knubbe]

For some reason you don't have EAC installed, so that's why it is failing for you. Try verifying the game local cache in Steam and then starting the game again from Experimental Branch.

If it doesn't work, please try to manually install EAC from the instructions I linked to.

At the moment EAC is not installed by Steam yet, as it is only active in the experimental branch. Due to this it may fail on some systems if the user doesn't have enough privileges to run the installer. This will change once Steam will install EAC when installing/updating the game.

I guess I just have to wait. I tried validating and it didn't say anything was missing.
I followed your instructions from before and nothing.
As much as I'd like to see the experimental branch's progression myself, I guess I'll have to wait.

I start from steam and click try experimental in the box that shows up. I play rust on my steam account from my wife's shared library
