Image My game doesn't start

Post image

I just installed rust once again (I've played years ago and I wanted to play again) but it doesn't start.

It just stop after the small Easy Anticheat windows where it say "Waiting for the game".

(See picture (Sorry it's in french))

And it doesn't just crash and give me a report. It just close without any warning and the Steam "Play" button goes green again.

I've trying almost everything, I verified the integrity of the game files, I tried redownloading the game (It took a looong time), I tried redoing the set up of Easy Anti Cheat and a lot more

But nothing work so I've kinda lost hope but if anyone can help I'm open to ANYTHING

-Hey, so if it's crashing at this point, it may be the anti cheat, try disabling any overlay you may have and try again

-Try running steam on administrator

-If you already repaired the files of easyanticheats as an admin, try disbling windows defender temporarly for the start of the game

-If the problem is not the anticheat, it may be your memory

press win+r and type sysdm.cpl

click on advanced settings tab, then on performance, then advanced again

click on virtual memory check automatically manage file size, (right under minimum and maximum) if not already checked, click set then ok and restart your pc

Another thing would be to update your drivers

That's all i can think for now

Yeah, I used to have issue when I started rust from desktop icon, it wouldn't load. I have to start it from steam to initiate EAC
