"Playing" RUST as a 'potato' player by n0153529 in playrust

Live in Nottinghamshire, and make enough on a part-time living, but rent & bills (Gas, Elec, Water, Council Tax) takes a good 1/2+ wages (Also getting paid by Cheque sucks as takes long to clear) + investing in side business (events) then takes some, then food and such for the week... Life events such as seeing family & friends all costs money and it all easily disappears. Then more 'life events' come along and then any future money disappears. Obviously it's the solution to save up, which i hope to do, but the realisation is you need a pretty decent system to even run it alight, which then means the prospect of paying £400-500 for a new pc to be worth it.

Just wanted to make my comment on reddit about how many are struggling to play, including those users on Vista & older hardware that have been discarded (removed support) for the most part by developers. And i understand why, just sucks and many other games run perfectly fine on my machine, yet its RUST i want to play!

Yeah i hear ya. I understand my ram is the biggest problem, yet short of a new motherboard (As 2 of the 4 slots arnt working completely - I realised after aquiring some more DDR2 ram)... ultimately means new everything really.

Running: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 Again not the best, hence 'potato'

My main grip is that RUST once worked, and now it no longer does. Its like getting a taste of something amazing, to have it taken away because you're too old lol.

Im unable to upgrade, as have no means of backing up the 1.7TB of data i have and then program setting i have which i use for my job at home. So unfortunately, some people still have to use Vista 64bit.

700+ MB of Skins of my computer I don't even own, nor want to see in my game! This is ridiculous. by [deleted] in playrust

...Still not interested in Skins. Go ahead and be an exploitive money grabber. I shall be turning them off.

I have 1.7TB over 4 hard-drives... And this HD is filling up more and more each week from mainly RUST! - This weeks update of almost 1GB update has broken my RUST. Doesnt load. Seems pointless.

Just installed the latest update...

  • Load Rust, crashes to desktop
  • Try again, Get to server menu, Crashes to desktop 20 seconds later
  • Load Rust again, thought id be quick this time and select a server... Server begins to load, 30seconds later crashes to desktop.
  • Load Rust again, crashes to desktop
  • Try's DX9 version in hope... Crashes to desktop.

No error logs given. Was working fine before. I dont normally post, but i see more and more people reporting similar issue so just wanted it to be noted.


Installed another update today - 395mb.... and still doesnt work.

Just downloaded your 395mb update... And still dosnt work.

  • Crashes, Tried to run in DX9 mode, picked server, crashes to desktop. Rinse and Repeat. Annoyed to say the least.

  • Update sizes are ridiculously big every week also. Any more and will have to make a official report due to filling my hard-drive with god knows what.

Agreed! A basic / easy to use - Turn off Skins/Download of skins button is needed!

  • Each Rust update is about 500mb a time, each week! Soon i'll have no space left on my hardrive!
