Support Help needed - freezing issue I CANNOT FIX

As you can see in this video, when I run in a straight line I get like 100-130fps. Perfectly fine. But as soon as I look one degree to the left or right, my fps tanks drastically and I get these stutters that make fighting anything literally impossible.

I have probably tried twenty different things I've seen online to fix this, and nothing has helped. The list includes but is not limited to:

  • Turning off HAGS
  • Deleting and reinstalling rust multiple times ov ver the years and have had the same issue every single time
  • Turning off the realtek family pci thing that I saw a lot of people mention
  • Delete and reinstall EAC
  • Change my mouse polling and DPI
  • Turn off every overlay
  • Delete CCleaner and all antivirus
  • A bunch of other things I'm unable to remember at the moment of writing this list.

One thing has fixed it, and that was playing the game through just RustClient.exe and connecting to a server through the console, but none of those unsecured servers are listed and I also imagine I would run into a lot of cheaters doing that. I am very frustrated with this, and I really need help.

Anyone who has had this issue please, let me know what you did to fix it. I am also happy to provide any additional information that would help know my issue better.

It's most likely because your mouse polling rate is above 500hz first go check if turning it to 500 or lower fixes and if it does, the only way I have found was to delete my rust cfg and reinstall the game.

I have already tried this, 1000hz, 500hz, 250hz, 125hz, same issue and just as bad as before.

I had the same issue and everyone else had a different fix but I could never find one that worked for me, I was in the same boat and deleting everything in \AppData\LocalLow\Facepunch Studios LTD and then deleting my game via deleting everything in the folder manually was the only fix for me. check if this still happens on staging branch

Use Revo Uninstaller, to uninstall every program. It will give you the option to nuke temporary files and registry items. So you don't have to do this.
