What should I do if Rust does not start?

Playing various computer games, we often encounter different problems when they start. Especially if they support cooperative mode through the Internet. An inexperienced user immediately starts scolding the developer for "crooked hands," but let's think, maybe the problem is in you? So, what if you do not start Rust?

Piratka

Any developer is eager to make money on his game, even if it belongs to the genre of "indie". To get money from the player, he must sell copies of games and protect himself from piracy. The same applies to Rust. There are two types of pirate games.

• On the official server. Previously, copies of the game, downloaded on the Internet, connected to bypassing Steam, to the official servers. Estesstvenno, the developers and administration of this service is not satisfied, so it was "raided" and banned most of the players who play with pirated versions. Judging by the statements of the administration, the ban is eternal.
• On pirate servers. A lot of bugs, glitches and faults - that's what distinguishes a free pirate server from the official one. If you have problems with it, then contact users in your forum. Perhaps they encountered similar problems.

The only way to avoid this problem - the purchase of the official game through Steam, the benefit that it is not so expensive. 419 rubles - not such a large amount compared to the "monsters" of the industry, sold for 2 thousand rubles.

Not started Steam

So, you bought the official version, and the problems are still going on and Rust Experimental does not start? One of the possible emerging problems is the error "Steam must be running to play this game". It's very easy to solve it. Most likely, on the Steam server, technical work was carried out and your account was disconnected. Restart the Steam. This is the simplest problem associated with the question: "What to do - does not run Rust?".

BY

Another reason why Rust is not running is the lack of necessary software. There are a number of errors related to the absence of the following files on the computer:

• Msvcr100.dll;
• Msvcp100.dll;
• Msvcr110.dll;
• Msvcp110.dll;
• Msvcr120.dll;
• Msvcp120.dll.

These are the necessary libraries that are installed on the computer together with the software package from Microsoft. To solve this problem, you need to download the official Microsoft Visual C ++ 2012 and 2013 for your version of the operating system. In extreme cases, if the error remains, you can download these files separately on the network and put them in the C: / Windows / system32 folder. Some users advise installing a version for the x86 OS, even if you have Windows x64 on your computer.

In addition, there may be no d3dx9_XX.dll files. Then just download and install the latest version of DirectX. Why is not Rust running yet?

There is no steam_api.dll

This problem is typical for pirated versions of the game. It's clear that various cracks and crackers are used to run the pirated version. Therefore, antiviruses installed on users' computers often cuss for them and, as a result, block access to them. If Rust does not start and the system displays this error, simply disable the antivirus or add this file to its exceptions. The same can be advised if the game produces an error with the absence of the file uplay_r1_loader.dll.

Corpse

Often people ask the question: "Why does not Rust start?", Launching the game for the first time and seeing on the screen a dead smiley. Well, what can I say? This is the initial start screen of the game loading. It's too early to panic. The first run can last up to 10 minutes, so just have the patience.

But if Rust does not start for a long time, the smiley does not go away, now it's time to sound an alarm. In order to cope with this problem, it is necessary to repeat all the actions that we described in the paragraphs above. Update all the software mentioned above, as well as drivers for the video card. If this is your first game in Steam, then make sure that there are no Russian letters (Cyrillic letters) in the way of installing the game and Steam itself, but only Latin ones. Foreign developers produce only unified international versions, which often causes problems with games.

Problem still exists

If the problem persists and Rust still does not start, you will have to return to the basics.

• Reinstall the game or check its integrity again.
• Check for fresh drivers on your PC.
• Reinstall the Microsoft Framework 4.5.
• Compare, in the end, the system requirements of the game with the characteristics of your computer.
• Try running the game in the window. If it works, start the full-screen mode by pressing the combination "Ctrl + Enter" or "Alt + Enter".
• Reduce the resolution of the monitor.

Black screen

This is another problem that can be faced by those wishing to play in Rust. If you click on the game icon, the black screen starts without any emoticons and hangs, then try running it with the Play Legacy parameter.

Sanctions

There have been many jokes about this topic lately. But in each of them there is some truth. The fact is that games purchased on the territory of Russia and the CIS may not be supported in the far abroad. Therefore, if you went to relatives in the US and try to run Rust from your account, most likely, you will not succeed. The only chance to play your favorite games abroad is to buy new versions from the new account right there. Well, or be patient until you return to your homeland.

System

This is the last mistake that we will consider today. It is issued with the code 0xc0000142. Unfortunately, this problem has nothing to do with the game, which means the whole problem in your computer. To solve it, it is necessary to repeat all the actions, which were discussed today. If this did not work, then the last solution would be to reinstall the OS for a different version or assembly. If the result is negative, you can safely send the computer to the trash. Most likely, there is some conflict of equipment in your system, so it's easier to replace it entirely than to try to figure out which of the parts failed.
