Rust crashes on startup. Rust won't start? Brakes? Not connecting to the server? Hangs up? - solution of problems. Rust is not installed. Installation stuck

Many gamers who launch Rust on their PC for the first time face the problem of the game not wanting to launch. As if there are no errors, just an endless loading in Rust hangs on the screen. At the same time, no manipulations on the example of a restart help - the so-called "sad smiley", which the developers built into the game instead of the boot image, does not disappear.

Solving the “Eternal Sad Smiley” Problem in Rust

Instructions for overcoming the "endless loading" of the game

1. First, go to the official website of the operating system installed on your PC.
2. After that, you need to find the desired section on the site - there will be no problems with this if you use the search bar.
3. Next, you will need to make a choice - libraries for a 32-bit or 64-bit system. If you have the first option, then you only need to install Visual C ++ Redistributable 2013 (VC 2013) 32 bits. But in the event that you use a 64-bit system, you will have to install both versions of Visual C ++.
4. Next (MANDATORY!) Reboot your PC. This is necessary for the system update to take effect. Many gamers continue to complain that Rust keeps loading endlessly, and they themselves have not even bothered to restart the computer.
5. Only now you can try to download the game again - the problem should disappear. But in the beginning, in any case, it will appear, hang a little and disappear (how quickly depends on the characteristics of your PC), so don't worry too much.

As you can see, nothing is difficult. Despite the fact that there are a lot of problems with the game Rust (including with ) - you can solve each of them in a matter of minutes, the main thing is to know what needs to be done for this, that is, what actions to take.

Why does the game just crash when loading a server in Rust experemental?

1. 
   The game crashed
   

   but i have a computer more powerful than god! I don't know for the hell of it!

2. -force-d3d9
3. guys tell me what to do if the inter in Rust does not work
4. Why Rust Experimental won't start

   One of the problems that players have encountered is that the menu does not appear when starting the Rust Experimental black screen.
   Solving it is very easy. You need to run Rust with administrator rights. This is done in this way, go to the folder with installed game, and press right click mouse on the shortcut "RustClient.exe" select "Run as administrator". You can see an example in the picture below.

   Rast won't start black screen
   If the problem still persists, I advise you to reinstall the drivers for the video card or update. Do the same with DirectX and Microsoft Visual C++ should help.

   I press play game and the error "The game crashed" pops up
   The game crashed
   Most likely this is a temporary error, the developers will fix it soon. In the meantime, in order to avoid this error, you will have to connect to the server using a non-standard method. We look at the list of servers, in the main menu we press "F1", we write the address of the server and "Enter". If this does not help, you may weak computer and it lacks power, namely RAM or you have 32 bit Windows installed. And for normal game it is necessary, as the developers recommend 64 bits and at least 4 GB of RAM.

   Connection Failed error pops up
   One of the reasons for this error may be:

   Unstable server, overloaded, or not working at all.
   Your client version is not suitable for this server, try another one, the client files do not match the server files.
   There are no free seats on the server.
   Problems connecting to Steam. You may have an internet problem, please check your internet connection.
   First, try changing the server, restart your computer, reconnect to the Internet and log into steam then into the game. Check the integrity of the game, reinstall.

5. Try reinstalling Rust completely due to possible corrupted game files.
   Install, install, update, reinstall drivers on the computer.
   Disable antivirus and other third party applications.
   Run the game as administrator (important!)
6. try to register in the launch options -force-d3d9 should work
7. Help me writes "Sorry, the launcher is not configured to work with your server." What to do??

In general, there can be infinitely many consequences for this, but there are only two reasons. 99% of cases - this is the low performance of your computer. And the remaining one percent are problems with software or hardware flaws game server. Let's figure out how to deal with a particular situation.

We make sure that the flight is not because of us

As you understand, any game has individual system requirements. If your computer does not respond to them, you will encounter freezes, crashes, freezes and other "charms" of zadr ... Sorry, gaming life. In addition, not every game is provided with the proper level of software optimization so that medium or weak PCs can handle it.

One of the reasons why Rust crashes is precisely this. The game has poor optimization. For this reason, you need to have at least an Intel Core i7-3770 processor or equivalent from AMD, a GTX 670 graphics card, and eight gigabytes of RAM. If you're even a little familiar with computer components, you can imagine what these MINIMUM system requirements mean.

In fact, you need a thousand dollar computer to play at the worst possible settings. So, save up money for a processor, video card and RAM. Do not expect to be able to compensate for the lack of performance using thirty-two gigabytes of RAM. Start the upgrade with the processor and memory. First, buy 8 GB, then add the same amount if necessary.

If you are confident in the capabilities of your computer, bought it recently and invested a couple of thousand dollars in it, and Rust still crashes, you can pay attention to the software part of the gaming PC. Make sure you don't pick up viruses by pressing all sorts of glowing buttons on the internet. This could be done not by you, but by your relatives, who also use a computer from time to time.

Find on the desktop various incomprehensible labels of classmates, search from Mail.ru, etc., you know, it's time to reinstall the system. In extremely rare cases, it is possible to do without it and cure it manually. Open Task Manager, go to the "Performance" tab. Despite the fact that you have nothing running and no program is running, CPU usage should fluctuate from zero to one. If you have twenty or fifty percent in idle time, it's bad.

Server problem

Sometimes the reason why Rust crashes depends on the server. Perhaps there was some incompatibility of plugins or updates were released that did not have time to install. Try changing the server to make sure everything is ok.

If you get a Disconnect, Time Out, or something like that when you try to log in, the problem is definitely not with you. Check for updates on Steam. To do this, you must exit the game completely. If the download has started, wait for it to finish, install updates and return to the game with peace of mind.

Faced with the problem of crashing not for your own reason and not because of updates, be sure to notify the server administration about this. She needs to take action to fix the problems, because soon the players will start to leave because of them. Do a good deed.

Conclusion

Now you know why Rust is crashing.

• You probably have a bad computer;
• Possible problems on the game server;
• All of a sudden there are updates.

In the latter case, they must be installed not only on the server side, but also on yours. During installation, you will be thrown out of the game, and you will not go back until you update yourself. As already mentioned, for this you need to go to the desktop and wait until Steam downloads the necessary files and installs them.

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 easily and quickly download the latest 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.

• (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. You need to open the properties of the 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?

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.

If Rust crashes, Rust won't start, Rust won't install, there are no controls in Rust, no sound in Rust, errors happen in Rust – we offer you the most common ways to solve these problems.

First, check if your PC meets the minimum system requirements:

• OS: Windows 7 (64-bit)
• Processor: 2.0 GHz
• Memory: 8 GB
• HDD: 8 GB
• DirectX: 9.0

Be sure to update your video card drivers and other software

Before you remember the worst words and express them towards the developers, do not forget to go to the official website of the manufacturer of your video card and download the latest drivers. Often, specially optimized drivers are prepared for the release of games. You can also try installing a later version of the drivers if the problem is not solved by installing the current version.

It is important to remember that you should only download the final versions of video cards - try not to use beta versions, as they may have a large number of bugs not found and not fixed.

Do not forget that games often require installation for stable operation. latest version DirectX, which can always be downloaded from the official Microsoft website.

Rust won't start

Many problems with launching games happen due to incorrect installation. Check if there were any errors during the installation, try to uninstall the game and run the installer again, after disabling the antivirus - often the files necessary for the game to work are deleted by mistake. It is also important to remember that the path to the folder with the installed game should not contain Cyrillic characters - use only Latin letters and numbers for directory names.

It still does not hurt to check if there is enough space on the HDD for installation. You can try to run the game as administrator in compatibility mode for different versions Windows.

Rust slows down. Low FPS. Logs. Friezes. hangs up

First - install the latest drivers for the video card, from this FPS in the game can rise significantly. Also check the computer's load in the task manager (opened by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + ESCAPE). If, before starting the game, you see that some process is consuming too many resources, turn off its program or simply end this process from the task manager.

Next, go to the graphics settings in the game. First of all, turn off anti-aliasing and try lowering the settings responsible for post-processing. Many of them consume a lot of resources and disabling them will significantly increase performance without greatly affecting the quality of the picture.

Rust crashes to desktop

If Rust often crashes to your desktop, try lowering the quality of the graphics to start solving the problem. It is possible that your computer simply does not have enough performance and the game cannot work correctly. Also worth checking out for updates - most modern games have a system for automatically installing new patches. Check if this option is disabled in the settings.

Black screen in Rust

More often than not, the problem with the black screen is an issue with the GPU. Check if your video card satisfies minimum requirements and install the latest drivers. Sometimes a black screen is the result of insufficient CPU performance.

If everything is fine with the hardware, and it meets the minimum requirements, try switching to another window (ALT + TAB), and then return to the game window.

Rust is not installed. Installation stuck

First of all, check if you have enough HDD space for installation. Remember that for correct operation The installer requires the advertised amount of space, plus 1-2 gigabytes of free space on the system drive. In general, remember the rule - there should always be at least 2 gigabytes on the system disk free space for temporary files. Otherwise, both games and programs may not work correctly or refuse to start at all.

Installation problems can also occur due to lack of Internet connection or its unstable operation. Also, do not forget to suspend the antivirus while installing the game - sometimes it interferes with the correct copying of files or deletes them by mistake, considering them viruses.

Saves not working in Rust

By analogy with the previous solution, check the availability of free space on the HDD - both on the one where the game is installed and on the system drive. Often save files are stored in a folder of documents, which is located separately from the game itself.

Control not working in Rust

Sometimes the controls in the game do not work due to the simultaneous connection of several input devices. Try disabling the gamepad, or if for some reason you have two keyboards or mice connected, leave only one pair of devices. If the gamepad does not work for you, then remember that only controllers that are defined as Xbox joysticks officially support games. If your controller is defined differently, try using programs that emulate Xbox joysticks (for example, x360ce).

Sound not working in Rust

Check if the sound works in other programs. After that, check if the sound is turned off in the settings of the game itself and if the sound playback device is selected there, to which your speakers or headset are connected. Next, while the game is running, open the mixer and check if the sound is muted there.

If you are using an external sound card- check for new drivers on the manufacturer's website.
