Setting up different spawn points in a server can make it easier for you to survive in Rust. You won’t have to travel from one end of the map to another. After gathering enough materials, you can just start spamming the sleeping bags. Along with that, you should tweak a lot of other settings in the game options to match your playstyle.
To play Rust, you need to install the easy anti-cheat on your system. It prevents players from hacking or exploiting glitches in the game. However, recently many players have been getting the “Easyanticheat” errors in Rust and are unable to play the game. That is why we will be discussing some methods that can be used to fix this problem.
How to Fix Rust Easyanticheat Error?
- Reinstall EAC
The most viable solution to the anti-cheat problem is reinstalling the anti-cheat program on your PC. The procedure is quite simple and you can access the EAC executable file to uninstall it from your PC. To do that, you should access the C drive on your PC and then open the program files folder.
Find the easy anti-cheat folder and then open it. There you will find the EAC executable file. Run the file and then select Rust from the middle menu. Now, you can either repair the easy anti-cheat or remove it entirely for Rust.
You can try your luck with the repair method first, and if that doesn’t work then you should follow the steps mentioned above to uninstall EAC from your PC. Now, to install the EAC again, you can follow several different methods.
First, you can use the method mentioned above to install the EAC from the executable file. Next, you can use the Steam client and verify the game files to install the anti-cheat on your game. Lastly, you can just hit the play button on the Steam client and it will attempt to install the EAC on your PC automatically. You should be able to play the game without further anti-cheat issues.
- Check Background Applications
If reinstalling the EAC gets you nowhere, then you should check the background applications running on your PC. Several monitoring programs can create issues for the anti-cheat aspect of the game. So, if you’re using any programs that might fall under that category then try temporarily disabling or uninstalling them.
If that fixes your problem then you just need to keep them disabled while you play Rust. You can also try removing and installing the programs back again one by one to isolate the problem.
Other security programs like some antivirus can also cause similar problems for Rust. So, to be on the safe side, you should just eliminate all the unnecessary programs from the background and then install them try loading Rust again.
Along with that, you should also check the firewall settings to see if your firewall is blocking the EAC from accessing the network. That should help you with the easy anti-cheat problem and you should be able to load Rust after removing all the third-party applications from the background.
- Reinstall Rust
If you are unable to fix the anti-cheat problem by reinstalling the EAC or by eliminating the background applications then you should reinstall Rust on your PC. This includes removing everything along with the Rust game folder from your PC. Make sure that there are no existing files present on your PC before installing the game again. It would be better if you can reboot the PC once after removing all the Rust files from your PC. Then you can launch the Steam client again and download Rust on your PC. Hopefully, this time around you won’t have to bother with the anti-cheat errors.
But if you’re still stuck in the same issues after doing everything mentioned here then you need to seek out professional support. You can also access the Steam forums and create a thread regarding this issue. That way you can receive help from other players that were stuck in the same problem. By contacting the support, it will be much easier to isolate the problem and then you can try different troubleshooting steps relevant to the identified problem. Hopefully, you’ll be able to fix the anti-cheat issue by just reinstalling the EAC and you won’t have to bother with any other method.
