Possible problems and solutions

Does your computer meet the system requirements? Fabulous! Let's understand further why Rust does not start.

msvcr100.dll/msvcp100.dll error

msvcr100.dll/msvcp100.dll dll error or files not found.
Install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable.

Steam_api.dll is missing

steam_api.dll missing.
Need to add steam_api.dll in antivirus exceptions. Most likely the antivirus is blocking access to this file.
Various cracks break the protection in games in different ways, and the antivirus swears at some crackers!
We recommend using only licensed Rust.

Uplay_r1_loader.dll is missing

uplay_r1_loader.dll missing.
Antivirus removes or blocks access to a file uplay_r1_loader.dll.
If the antivirus killed the file, download it again. Just turn off protection first or add the file to the antivirus or firewall exclusions.

Error 0xc0000142

This error is systemic and has little to do with the game, try the following:
If the client is pirated, disable your antivirus or try changing the crack or repack.
Delete NVIDIA GeForce Experience.
Reinstall the game and all software:

  • Sometimes you also need to reinstall the .NET Framework.
  • Roll back the system to an earlier state and if the rollback did not help, then only rearrange the OS.
  • If all of the above doesn't help, just throw your PC out the window.

Steam must be running to play this game error

Quit Steam completely. Then restart it.

Does Rust run at all?

Check if the game is suitable for system requirements PC.
Update or reinstall your video card drivers.
Refresh DirectX, Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 and Microsoft Visual C++ 2013, you need to install the version x86 even if you have a 64 bit system! It is important!
Run the game in a window and if the game starts go to fullscreen ctrl+enter .
Run the game as administrator or in compatibility mode.
Temporarily disable all additional software, antivirus, firewall etc.
Check that there are no Russian characters! Cyrillic developers, as always, are at odds.
If a Steam game, uplay etc. check the integrity of the game cache.

Although after all that is described above, there should be no problems.
A common problem is Rust's endless loading and the smiley face in the middle of the screen during startup.
Try to just wait a bit (up to 10 minutes) and if nothing happens, then to solve the problem you need to download and install Microsoft Visual C++ 2013

How to change nickname in Rust?

On the licensed version, it is enough to change the nickname on Steam, and on the pirated version, find it in the game folder LumaEmu.txt and ChangeNick.exe run it and change the name.

What to do if banned in Rust?

Buy a new copy on the new account on Steam!!!
Since the release of Valve's new anti-cheat, several thousand players have been banned from Rust's servers.
According to the developers themselves, there will be no right to unban and a life ban, so that this would be a lesson for other, still honest players.
Perhaps later they will introduce an amnesty, but for now all the cheaters go in an evil formation to the ban!

Problem with glitches and lags in the game?

That's all. good and interesting game in magnificent Rust.

playing various computer games, we often encounter various problems when launching them. Especially if they support cooperative mode through the Internet. An inexperienced user immediately begins to scold the developer for "crooked hands", but let's think, maybe the problem is with you? So, what to do if Rust won't start?

Pirate

Any developer strives to make money on their game, even if it belongs to the "indie" genre. To get money from the player, he must sell copies of games and protect himself from piracy. The same applies to Rust. There are two types of pirate games.

  • on the official server. Previously, copies of the game downloaded from the Internet were connected, bypassing Steam, to official servers. Naturally, developers and administration this service this did not suit, so a "raid" was carried out and most of the players playing from pirated versions were banned. Judging by the statements of the administration, the ban is eternal.
  • on pirate servers. A lot of bugs, glitches and malfunctions - that's what distinguishes a free pirate server from the official one. If you have any problems with it, then contact the users on your forum. They may have experienced similar problems.

The only way to avoid this problem is to buy official game through Steam, the good thing is that it is not so expensive. 419 rubles is not such a large amount compared to the "monsters" of the industry, which are sold for 2 thousand rubles.

Steam not running

So, you bought the official version, and the problems still persist and Rust Experimental won't launch? One of the possible problems that appear is the "Steam must be running to play this game" error. Solving it is very simple. Most likely, technical work was carried out on the Steam server and your account was disabled. Restart Steam. This is the simplest problem related to the question: "What to do - Rust does not start?".

ON

Another Rust is the lack of necessary software. There are a number of errors associated with the absence of the following files on the computer:

  • msvcr100.dll
  • msvcp100.dll
  • msvcr110.dll
  • msvcp110.dll
  • msvcr120.dll
  • msvcp120.dll.

These are the necessary libraries that are installed on the computer along with the software package from Microsoft. To solve this problem, you need to download Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 and 2013 from the official website for your operating system version. As a last resort, if the error persists, you can download these files separately from the network and place them in the C:/Windows/system32 folder. Some users advise installing the x86 version, even if you have a Windows x64 computer.

In addition, the d3dx9_XX.dll series files may be missing. Then just download and install the latest version of DirectX. Why isn't Rust starting yet?

Steam_api.dll is missing

This problem is typical for pirated versions of the game. It's clear that various cracks and crackers are used to launch the pirated version. Therefore, antiviruses installed on users' computers often swear at them and, as a result, block access to them. If Rust does not start and the system issues given error, then just disable the antivirus or add this file to its exclusions. The same can be advised if the game gives an error with the absence of the uplay_r1_loader.dll file.

Dead body

Often people ask the question: "Why won't Rust launch?" when starting the game for the first time and seeing a dead smiley on the screen. Well, what can I say? This is the initial, starting screen for loading the game. It's too early to panic. The first launch can take up to 10 minutes, so just be patient.

But if Rust does not start for a long time, the smiley does not disappear, then now is the time to sound the alarm. In order to deal with such a problem, it is necessary to repeat all the steps that we described in the paragraphs above. Update all the software that was mentioned, as well as the drivers for the video card. If this is your first game on Steam, then make sure that there are no Russian letters (Cyrillic) in the installation path of the game and Steam itself, but only Latin letters. Foreign developers release only unified international versions, which often causes problems with games.

Problem still exists

If the problem persists and Rust still won't start, you'll have to go back to the basics.

  • Reinstall the game or recheck its integrity.
  • Check for the latest drivers on your PC.
  • Reinstall Microsoft Framework 4.5.
  • Compare, after all, the system requirements of the game with the characteristics of your computer.
  • Try running the game in a window. If it works, start full screen mode by pressing "Ctrl+Enter" or "Alt+Enter".
  • Reduce your monitor resolution.

Black screen

This is another problem that those who want to play Rust may encounter. If you click on the game icon, it starts without any emoticons and freezes, then try starting it with the Play Legacy parameter.

Sanctions

There have been many jokes about this topic lately. But in each of them there is some truth. The fact is that games purchased in Russia and the CIS may not be supported in foreign countries. Therefore, if you go to relatives in the US and try to run Rust from your account there, most likely you will not succeed. The only chance to play your favorite games abroad is to buy new versions from a new account right there. Or wait until you return home.

Systemic

it last mistake which we will review today. It is issued with the code 0xc0000142. Unfortunately, this problem has nothing to do with the game, which means the whole problem is in your computer. To solve it, you need to repeat all the steps that were described today. If this does not help, then the last way out will be to reinstall the OS to a different version or assembly. If the result is negative, you can safely send the computer to the trash. Most likely, there is some kind of hardware conflict in your system, so it's easier to replace it entirely than to try to figure out which part failed.

It is at the alpha testing stage, so it is full of errors and bugs. While the developers are solving various technical issues through updates and code optimizations, we will try to fix some of them ourselves.

A prerequisite for the successful functioning of any game is the availability of the latest drivers for all devices in the system. Download the utility Driver Updater to download quickly and easily latest versions drivers and install them with one click:

  • download Driver Updater and run the program;
  • scan the system (usually it takes no more than five minutes);
  • update outdated drivers with one click.
It is possible that some of your problems are related to the software on your computer, so here is a list of what needs to be updated or installed:
  • (Download )
  • (Download )

When starting Rust, I get the error “The program cannot be started because MSVCR120.dll is missing from the computer. Try reinstalling the program." What to do?

You don't need to reinstall the game. You need to download and install Visual C++ Redistributable 2013. After that, you will need to restart your computer. Please note that you need to select the version for your system: 64 or 32-bit.

Rust won't start: a "dead" emoticon appears and nothing happens. What to do?

This symbol means the game is loading. If it hangs for more than 10 minutes, then you have the same problem as in the previous question. You need to download and install Visual C++ Redistributable 2013. After that, you will need to restart your computer. Please note that you need to select the version for your system: 64 or 32-bit.

Rust doesn't save settings. What to do?

In the folder with the game, which is located at SteamSteamAppscommonrust, you need to check for the presence of the "cfg" folder. If it doesn't exist, create it.

When connecting to the server, the download stops at the "Waiting for character" item. What is the problem?

You need to set all graphic settings to minimum. When you start the game, a standard window appears in which you need to select the "Fastest" setting level (Quick).
Then in the game itself you need to go to the settings menu. Make sure all items are set to their minimum values. After these steps, try connecting to the server again.

Rust is very slow. Can you increase FPS?

Can. If you already have the lowest settings, and you have changed the screen resolution to a lower one, then you can use the commands to disable some not very important graphics elements. For example, drawing grass. To do this, press F1, the console opens and write the commands that are listed below. It is not necessary to enter all of them.

  • grass.on False
  • grass.forceredraw False
  • grass.displacement False
  • grass.disp_trail_seconds 0
  • grass.shadowcast False
  • grass.shadowreceiveFalse
  • gfx.ssaa False
  • gfx.bloom False
  • gfx.grain False
  • gfx.ssao False
  • gfx.shafts False
  • gfx.tonemap False
  • render level 0.1
  • shadows.on false

2-3 times per minute the game freezes for 1-5 seconds. What to do?

Problem with audio driver.

  1. Need to open properties sound card and on the "Driver" tab, click the "Update" button.
  2. Instead of automatic search, select "Search for drivers on this computer."
  3. Now click on "Select a driver from the list of already installed drivers."
  4. There you can have several items. You must select "High Definition Audio Device".
  5. After applying the new settings, the system will ask you to restart your computer.

The character hangs. I can move, but I can't attack, pick up loot, etc. Anyone can kill me. What's this?

This is the hardest problem. It occurs most often on operating system Windows XP SP3. Turning off the chat helps someone, the microphone helps others. For some reason, one of the most effective ways is to reset the overclocking of the processor. Sometimes it's the other way around - turning on the manual mode of processor settings. The owners of Asus motherboards were helped by the inclusion of the "enable CPU overclocking" parameter in the BIOS. To do this, you need to switch its Auto mode to Manual, and then set the number 200. But, such manipulations for the sake of one game are too risky. We strongly do not recommend doing this if you do not understand BIOS settings.

Problems with a pirated version of Rust.

I can't change my nickname, how do I do it?

Go to the folder with the installed game.
Find the LumaEmu.
Click on it right click mouse, select Open With, and then select the Notepad application.
Find the line "PlayerName = X", where X is your nickname. Change the setting and save the file.

How to join a server in pirated Rust?

Open the console using the F1 button and write the command "net.connect". After it, put a space and copy the server address. Press Enter and wait.

After reconnecting to the server, my character appears in a random place, as if after death. The character is sleeping, and there is a sleeping bag nearby. Why doesn't the server save the position?

Again we go to the LumaEmu file and look for the following lines there:

# Save Stats and Achievements
save=1
If it is "0", then change it to "1".

I have a technical problem with Rust, but there is no answer here, what should I do?

Ask in the comments, we will try to help you.

After launching Rust, another, no less interesting question arises: “How to properly launch game Rust? The fact is that when starting the game, many encounter problems, and therefore all the charm expected from the anticipation of playing a new toy simply dissolves. How to deal with it? It's very simple - the fact is that any problem that has arisen can be solved - the main thing is to understand why it arose.

Rust Getting Started Guide

1. After Rust installations a shortcut should have appeared on the desktop - click on it. And here the fun begins - the error “The program cannot be started because MSVCR120.dll is missing on the computer” is displayed on the screen. problems, you need to download the missing file (and copy it to the file with the game), you can do this on our website.Also, many people get the so-called "sad smiley" when they start the game.In order to get rid of it, you need to download 2013 Visual C ++ for your version of the OS. After that, restart the computer - the problem should be solved. If the screen at startup is still the same emoticon, then try deleting old version utilities and only then install a new one. After that, the game will run 100%.
2. Rust has launched - now you need to specify the desired graphics quality, screen resolution, as well as the game mode (fullscreen or windowed). The settings need to be specified depending on the power of your PC.
3. Next, you need to click on "Play", which means "Game".
4. After that, you need to launch Rust servers. First, wait until the servers are updated, and only then you can choose the appropriate one. But the fact is that this function will only work if you have a licensed version of the game. And now let's talk about how to run the Rust Pirate game server. In this case, open command line by pressing F1 and typing "net.connect(here is a space) IP address of the site". net.connect is the permission to connect, and the IP is the address of the server you need. For example, net.connect 95.69.134.29:28015. That's all, you can start playing. After all, now you know how to run the Rust game and even choose the right server.

Game information:(We survive in harsh conditions, defend ourselves from zombies, fight the cold and do not let ourselves be killed by other players)

Launch preparation:

Attention! You do not have permission to view hidden text. Login or register.

Fixed airdrop. Now the plane will fly by every day around noon.
- Fixed problems with the foundation. Now it will not be destroyed immediately after its installation.
- Fix worn out armor. Now it cannot be used if your inventory is full. With a full inventory, it will simply fall out after a breakdown.
- Fixed flickering shadows in buildings.
- Fixed screen dimming for a second after respawn.
- Fixes floating grass.
- Fix console commands on Mac OS. The commands didn't always work the first time.
- Added more console commands for graphics settings:
gfx.ssaa true/false
gfx.grain true/false (Radiation Graph Effect)
gfx.shafts true/false
gfx.damage true/false (Damage indicators)

Added the ability to set an FPS limit using console command render.frames.
- Changing the quality of graphics in the settings now not only worsens the quality of textures, but also disables some effects.
- Now you can limit the loading distance using the render.distance command. The default is 0.2, you can set the value up to 1. On this moment it only affects rocks and planks that you smash for resources.
- Anisotropic filtering will be enabled for terrain and objects if your quality settings have a value greater than 50%.
- Fixed clouds.


new sky

The biggest and most obvious change in this update is the new sky. True, while the sky does not look the way the developers would like.
The old sky was slow, killing FPS a lot. Everyone should notice a performance boost thanks to it. Improved display of the moon and lunar cycles.

There may be problems with lighting trees.

New Water

In the future, water is likely to have a significant impact on gameplay. And now she doesn't look so bad.

An item has appeared in the settings to turn reflections ON / OFF, as they affect performance. When reflections are turned off, the sky will still be reflected. But it doesn't affect performance much.

Fixes for OSX and Linux

Linux and OSX users should see the grass render properly and be able to enter the game with high graphics settings.

Item Durability

Now items will be damaged in the game due to frequent use. Items can be repaired at a workbench. You can keep repairing your items, but eventually they'll just be unreliable that you'll want to throw them off a cliff.
The armor also gets damaged, so you might end up throwing your pants off the cliff too.

Game launch:
1) We launch and enter the room with the players (so that there are fewer problems with ports). This is "Rust 1" and others.

  • Nick changes through the shortcut Change Nickname.exe
    Or launch and go to the account.
    2) Run the game through the shortcut rustlauncher.exe.

    In Game:
    Connection:
    Press F1 and enter net.connect ip_address:port
    Example: net.connect 5.9.20.146:28085

  • client.connect 2.230.157.242:28015- working server
    Press Enter and connect.

    Server creation:
    Training:
    The big update was regarding the servers. They are now freely available, and anyone can download, and you do not need to get a beta key. And with pirates you can go to them.

    1. Download the archive (downloads: 25553) and unpack to any place.
    2. From the SteamCMD folder, run the Update-Rust-Server.bat file (the server will start downloading)
    3. To start the Rust server, run the file Run-Rust-Server.bat
    4. To start the Rust experimental server, run the Run-Rust-Exp-Server.bat file

  • The servers will be loaded into the RustServer folder.
  • To update the server, run the Update-Rust-Server.bat file from the SteamCMD folder.

    Notes:

  • On the pirated version of the save work.
  • Nickname is changed via Change Nickname.exe
  • If an error occurs during startup or black screen with smiley face- put
