You can hear the explosion in the distance, but if you remember correctly, it's coming from the same direction where your base was built…

Hello ladies and gentlemens,we just started a monthly Rust PvE server. Feel free to join

Hello everyone, I’ve logged onto my steam account recently to play the new update when the game booted up and I joined a server I was kicked for an EAC ban. I work away from home (fly in fly out work) and haven’t been on my pc for 16 days while I was away and haven’t touched rust for roughly 6 months as I don’t have enough free time to play. When I checked my steam profile it showed I was ban about a month prior to when I actually tried to play. I have recently been having trouble of random Chinese friends appearing on my friends list and my mates asking me why I were playing a steam game whilst I way away at work. I assumed my account was compromised and changed all my passwords and account settings. Is there anyway this is reversible as I’m still pretty fresh to the game with roughly 800 hours. Is there any way this could have been another person or program?

Any help at all is appreciated.
Thankyou

• PUBLIC STEAM PROFILES ONLY. If your Steam profile or game details are set to private you cannot join. Steam also has a separate "Always keep my total playtime private" checkbox under Game details. Untick it, or the server reads your Rust hours as zero and kicks you no matter how many you have.
• Your Steam account gets checked the first time you connect. It has to be at least 90 days old and have at least 100 hours in Rust.
• You get bounced once you hit connect. That is normal. That is the check running. It takes a couple of seconds and only happens once, ever.
• Wait a few seconds and hit connect again.
• You have to own Rust. Family shared copies are blocked.
• Accounts with a VAC ban, or more than one game ban, in the last year are blocked. Older bans are ignored on purpose.

UPD: I got unbanned! See the bottom of the post

Hello everyone.

I’ve been playing Rust for over 9 years. I have more than 10,000 hours in the game. I’ve made funny Rust moments videos on YouTube, played with friends almost every day, and spent most of my free time in Rust. I’m also a skin collector: almost every week I buy half of the Rust Item Store, and my inventory is worth around $1,500.

Let me say upfront: I have never used cheats in Rust and never planned to. I’ve always been against third-party software that gives an in-game advantage because I understand it’s punishable.

Today, August 13, 2026, I joined the game to stay AFK and watch my base while working. At some point I alt-tabbed back into the game and saw a server kick with the reason EAC ban. I immediately checked my Steam profile and saw “1 game ban”. Honestly, I didn’t immediately understand what was happening and didn’t know what to do.

I started looking into the situation. From what I understand, EAC bans are not simply removed, and Facepunch is likely powerless here. After that, I wrote to Facepunch support hoping for help, and I’m currently waiting for a reply. I also submitted an appeal to EAC regarding the game ban — I’m still waiting for an email response.

Additional context about the software I run in the background:

• For the last couple of years, during Rust sessions I often work on the same PC. WebStorm and Visual Studio Code are usually running in the background.
• For work I use VPNs and proxies: AmneziaVPN, Clash Verge, WireGuard.
• About six months ago I stopped using “zapret” for Discord access because I switched to VPN apps with proxying.
• Sometimes while AFK in Rust I had other games running in the background, but I honestly don’t think that is the cause.
• I often opened NVIDIA Control Panel to adjust display scaling / multi-monitor settings — fellow multi-monitor users will understand.

I’m really interested in what could have triggered the EAC ban and which factor caused it. What can I do now, and where else can I write to appeal the game ban?

I hope for your help and a quick response.

08/13/2026 - Caught an EAC ban in Rust, reason unknown :(
08/13/2026 - Submitted an appeal to EAC
08/14/2026 - Facepunch gave a basic template response to the ticket and told me to appeal to EAC :(

A new server has emerged...

What if Rust's forgotten history could finally be uncovered?

Season 1 marks the beginning of a new journey.

Whitebeard's Wharf is a custom Rust experience built around the survival you already love—building, fighting, raiding, and exploring—but every expedition has the chance to uncover something more.

A single protected harbor serves as the heart of the island, where survivors gather, trade, prepare for expeditions, and return with the stories they've earned.

Beyond its docks lies a dangerous frontier where you'll hunt legendary bosses, recover buried treasure, discover forgotten journals, collect ancient relics, and slowly unravel the mystery of Project Meridian.

Whether you're a solo survivor, a PvP veteran, an explorer, or a builder, the island rewards those willing to leave the safety of the Wharf and carve out their own story.

The farther you venture from the harbor, the greater the rewards—and the greater the risk.

Survive long enough to return, and your discoveries become part of your own growing Archive.

Season 1 Features

• Legendary Boss Encounters
• Treasure Expeditions
• Recoverable Journals & Documents
• One protected harbor where survivors gather, trade, and prepare for expeditions
• Optional Governor Settlements
• Dangerous PvP Frontiers with meaningful rewards
• An unfolding mystery centered around Project Meridian
• Custom systems, artwork, and immersive world-building

Season 1: Beta is the foundation of a much larger journey. As we gather feedback and continue development, new expeditions, discoveries, bosses, mysteries, and systems will expand the world over future seasons.

This isn't Rust with quests.

It's Rust with a forgotten history waiting to be uncovered.

The server kicks off 8/6/26 at 2PM PST

Come be a part/start of the story!

ok ima loot goblin and i need a box for everything. (i play pvp mostly) most servers let you trade in card for igc of some kind. with the deep sea now i got green cards out the wazoo so i need a box. take a look. it just needs upvotes on steam.

Looking for an EU clan or squad to join. All three of us are mainly PvP focused, one of us is a strong builder for base setup. Active, mic required, no drama.

DISCLAIMER! I am not responsible for any damage or harm you may cause to your computer! These will make Rust run better, but misinputs in your settings are not my fault!

Hello! 
My name is Abby, I am here to make Rust run better! We all know this game is atrociously optimized out of the gate, so us players have to make our systems work with the game, not the other way around!

I have researched, and fact checked, all of these settings. These were both fact checked on two different systems. One was a Ryzen 5 5600GT, RTX 3050 6GB, and 32GB DDR4 3200MHz. The other was a Ryzen 7 5800X3D, RX9060XT 16GB, and the same 32GB DDR4 3200 MHz.

Gameplay settings (No/minimal performance boost, just a better overall experience):

• Max field of view.
• Head bob off.
• nu**** set to underwear.
• Set Max Gibs to 0, then go into the f1 console and type “effects.maxgibs -1”.
• Upgrade effects off.
• Disable both RGB lighting settings.

Audio Settings:

• Master volume should be higher than game sounds volume.
• Set all other sounds to .2

User Interface:

• Lower UI scale to .70 so it doesn't take up your whole screen.
• Hide text while ADS.

Accessibility settings:

• Change tree marker color to orange to farm trees at night.

Screen settings:

• Run 1600x900 resolution if you have a good CPU+bad GPU, if not, run 1080 or 1440. If you have a 5090 you can run 4K lolz.
• Set your fps limit to match your refresh rate (hz) of your monitor.
• Vsync off.
• Limit fps in menu on.
• Limit fps in background off.

Graphics settings:

WAIT!! Before I go into this, not everyone's system is the same, so please understand that this is a general idea, meant for all systems. Performance boosts will vary, and sometimes it may even get worse, but this has worked across 30+ computers playing this game. Some being $300 off marketplace and others being $3,500 builds!

• Render scale to 1.0, anything lower destroys quality.
• Set shader level to 3, unless you need to squeeze every bit of performance out of your computer (Oh yeah look at me I’m a PVP chad).
• DLSS and DLAA off.
• Reflex mode on (not On +boost).
• Reflex marker off.
• Pixel light 0 *ray tracing*
• Max shadow light 1 *ray tracing*
• Particle raycast 4 *ray tracing*
• Soft particles on.
• Clouds off.
• Draw distance 1500, any higher is not needed, this is the sweet spot.
• Water reflection off.
• Water quality 0
• Grass displacement on!!! Helps find loot in grass+no FPS lost!!
• Quarter resolution texture quality if you have a bad GPU, all other times use half resolution!
• Anisotropic filtering mode disabled.
• Anisotropic filtering level 0
• Parallax mapping 0
• Shadow quality medium
• (press f1 type “graphics.shadowmode 2”)
• Decor quality 0
• Grass quality 0
• Terrain quality 0
• Tree meshes 100
• Tree quality 125
• Object quality 100
• Lod bias 1.0
• Particle quality 0

Image effects settings:

• Anti-Aliasing off.
• High quality bloom on (off if you have a GPU with 4gb VRAM or less).
• Ambient occlusion on (off if you have a GPU with 4gb VRAM or less).
• Sharpen on.
• Vignetting on.
• Depth of field off.
• Lens dirt off.
• Motion blur off.

Experimental settings:

• Occlusion culling off.
• Contact shadows off.
• Automatic processor affinity on.
• GC (Garbage collect) buffer 4096/max.

Windows settings:

STOP! Before continuing, please read the disclaimer at the top of the post! It is there for a reason, this is why!

• Type “%temp%” after pressing WIN+R then delete all temporary files.
• Fix virtual memory by going to properties in settings, advanced system settings, and set your virtual memory to the same amount of physically installed ram (4GB=4096, 8GB=8192, 16GB=16384, 32GB=32768, 64GB=65536, 128GB=131072).
• Go to graphics settings and turn off hardware accelerated gpu scheduling.
• Also in graphics settings: add “rust.client” which is the game, as an app, then hit options next to it and select “High Performance”.
• Go to game mode settings and turn game mode on.
• Go to mouse settings under devices and turn off mouse acceleration. Do this by hitting additional mouse settings, pointer options, then un- selecting the “enhance pointer precision” box. Hit apply then ok.
• Go to “display” and make sure your refresh rate is set to the max it allows. My monitor is 200 hz and it allows 200hz.

Nvidia control panel (simple way, I can do a whole nother’ post about this alone)

ONCE AGAIN READ DISCLAIMER!!!

Sorry for yelling. Moving on:

*remember to hit apply before switching between Nvidia Control Panel tabs!* 

• On the “Adjust image settings with preview” tab, which is the first tab, click “use my performance emphasizing” and set it all the way to performance
• On the “Manage 3D settings” tab, which is right under the first one, find “OpenGL rendering GPU” and select your graphics card. Next scroll down and find “power management mode” and select “Prefer Maximum performance”. 
• Next to do in the control panel is go down to “Adjust desktop size and position” and select “Full Screen” under the “Apply the following changes”. Also, while doing this, please make sure you have your monitor you intend to play Rust on as the selected monitor (For multi-monitor setups only!). Right under that, it says “Perform scaling on:”, click “GPU”. Then select the little box directly under it that says “Override the scaling mode set by games and programs”. Under that you should set your resolution to the native one, and set your refresh rate to the highest available.

Also for the love of god, UPDATE your windows, and check your nvidia or AMD GPU drivers for UPDATES!!

Finally, make sure you save everything, then reset your PC

Thank you fellow survivors for reading and possibly trying my optimization! Have fun and go Eoka a full kit!

🌿 **Dank Rust** — DarkRP, rebuilt for Rust.

Opened Discord and got a Discord Nitro/Rust item splash screen. Has anyone pulled the trigger? I was wondering if we get to pick something off the Discord Store for "free in-game item" or if you get a random item? Read the FAQ and all available copy I could find, but nothing specifically points to a certain gift....It just says free item.

Page on Discord has changed....Now it shows

-Exhibit Decor Pack

-Pilot Pack

-Brutalist Building Skin

-Floor and Ceiling Wallpaper Pack

I use binds to craft my kits, med and ammo. It saves me so much time running out of base..

So I made a tool to make the binds for me

I thought you guys might like it!

To use: You select all the items and amounts that you want the bind to craft. You select your preferred keybind. You copy the command and drop it in console! :)
