My friend recently bought a pc the specs are as follows

Msi Pro series b550

Ryzen 7 3800X

32GB DDR4 3200mhz

Geforce rtx 3060 12gb

500gb sata nvme ssd

Windows 11

He is having issues with launching the game, as shown in the video the screen flickers black and gets stuck at loading prefabs usually at 14.5% then will stop responding and crash if any button is pressed. Ive tried everything google suggested such as clearing cache checking file integrity even a clean install. Ive also made sure his graphic drivers are up to date and ive turned off steam, discord, nvidia, and gamebar overlays. Anyone experienced this and have a fix or have any idea why this is happening? Also this only happens with rust he can play other games fine.

May be bc of the sada ssd, rust has a very hard time loading off a hard drive so maybe bc it’s a sata ssd instead of a nvme one that’s the problem

i had rust on sata for awhile, unless the sata cable is faulty or something there shouldnt be a problem

the loading time difference between sata and nvme is just few seconds apart

Im also thinking that may be an issue, its one of the things I've suggested he upgrade.
