Looking to upgrade probably either my gpu or cpu but open to any suggestions. Trying to just improve my frame rate.

I am constantly freezing, stuttering, and lagging. It is mostly massive FPS Drops that result in my game either crashing or being frozen for 30+ Seconds. It mostly happens every time I tab out of the game, and whenever I shoot guns. But it does happen other times randomly while playing. This also causes my entire computer to take a shit and run extremely slow. Even while opening google chrome to type this post right after my game crashed it took 2 minutes to open lol.

I have had the game for 5+ years and never had anything like this happen until the past month or two. I have put the main specs for my PC below if that is needed to diagnose my problem.

PC Specs:

Intel I9 9900k, 3600Mhz, 8 Cores

Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Founders Edition

16gb DDR4 Corsair Vengeance Pro RAM

Anyteams here playing this server next wipe?

I've never even made it past the the loading screen because the game keeps fucking crashing on the loading screen. Fuck this game and fuck Facepunch for selling me a broken game.

I played a lot of multiplayer Bannerlord, and let me tell you that there isn't anything more thrilling than being involved in huge 300v300 players fights, but the problem is that it's not an mmo and so it's just a game you launch everyone have fun and then bye bye see you next sunday, and Bannerlord Online doesn't scratch that itch at all (even if it's an amazing MMO mod for Bannerlord).

The combination of a true medieval aspect in Rust with a deep learning curve in melee combat and its MMO aspect would be probably one of the best things that can happen to multiplayer gaming in general.

I have no problem testing it out but didn't know if any one was crazy enough to try it yet and save me some water time haha

So i only recently started playing rust, but one thing i noticed is that the NPCs are a bit too smart. I'll accept wolves smelling my smelly ass from a mile away, and slowly following me and hunting me down, but I once got the privilege of finding a ladder. A wolf did bite my ass but i managed to climb in time with low hp left, however right after i climbed it the wolf just zipped out of existence, not allowing me to shoot it down with a bow. like come on, the wolf didn't even bark at me for a bit, just straight up counter played with mega high IQ, and it's not like I was able to go back down immediately either since they'd just smell my ass again...

I had a slightly similar but more understandable experience with a roaming scientist. I took a shot at him, it wasnt a kill shot, he immediately hid behind an object, but like he always hides so well it's legit hard to even see which object he's hiding behind. I'd be hesitant to get too close after that since I wouldn't be sure where he is, and he'd have fast reflexes and would kill me on-sight. I assume sneaking up on him from the start from behind and getting a definite kill would work better(?), but still, sheesh.

Doesn't matter what server I try to join and didn't happen yesterday, checked drivers, verified files, and reinstalled it. Any advice?

I am a server owner, and I never messed with any of the decay settings in the server.cfg, however bases are not decaying. I built a stone base, didn’t put anything in the TC, came back hours later and the base is still at 100%.

Mind you it is a modded server with plugins, but I don’t have any decay plugins or anything like that.

Any ideas?

What is the best way to counter people taking small oil with a helicopter if you get there first? With Large Oil its easier. You can dodge the scientists, go to the secret room, and wait for players to take the heavies from the crane and then grub. But does anyone have a similar strategy for small oil? Can you rush to the top floor and hide somewhere? Often players take Small with a heli and leave the scientists on the second-top floor which makes it hard to grub.

Hey everyone, so recently I through a few of my skins into gambling sites and won $1500. This was on a site called rust shuffle and I’m wondering if it is a scam. It won’t let me withdraw until I’m level 10 and I’ve spent about 50-100 trying to get to level 10. I know it’s probably a scam and I’m a fucking idiot but please lmk if it is a confirmed scam.

Let me know what you think ... I know it's not perfect.

i installed it overnight and came to play if today i loaded it up and i got program not responding, i tried again and failed then restarted my PC and it still isnt responding is there a fix to this?

When I retire I want to play Rust all the time. This game is better than crack

Was there something in the last update that is causing lag? I can't find a single server that isn't stuttering right now, anyone else having this problem?

i know you can break down your skins into metal wood and cloth bags or whatever those are but the other day i saw that i had a metal in my inventory and i didnt break anything down, at least on purpose. can you get one randomly like you can with the little cheap shitty skins? i tried to google it but all i get is stuff about in game inventory and metal and recycling, etc. if i did break something down, is there a way to see what it was?

I'm a returning rust vetern, hadn't played in a few years decided to come back on and play. Played a few servers and would get instantly dunked on by clans so then I tried a freshly wiped solo only server. Loved the naked combat of the first day. Second day I hop on, fresh start. So i decided to do some old rust raiding with the eoka pistol. Made huge profit, so I kept on and kept on. Crafting new pistols and rock ammo. Soon enough I get to sheet metal door on bunker base so I leave. Raid a few more. Then out of nowhere in a 1x1 is a c4. So I back and blow the sheet metal door. Got a sar, ammo and pump shotgun. I gotta say I love rust. Lotta ups and down but when you are winning it is exhilarating!

I know the ryzen 7 5800xd3 Was said to be the best for a long time, whats the best now?

Quick question. I found out today that a server I used to admin for years ago had their name stolen by some dude for his console servers. I felt bad for them and it got me wondering, does Facepunch or any other official part of Rust care/do anything about servers blatantly stealing the name of another like that? I swear I've heard in the past they do care/do something for this kind of thing.

Yo im not gonna name any names because that would violate the server rules and all but i was looking to get back into rust even thought i had a bad experience in the past with people and groups being toxic and such. Well I was playing with this same guy for a few days and then he just blocks and ghosts me. Nothing bad happened and now im sitting here wondering if I fucked up.

if anyone has any insights abt this lmk

Why do the foundations for bunkers HAVE to be armored? I’d heard it before and this guy says it too https://youtu.be/rF8Yrna11sE?si=fA6CpcTyCTVweAZW at 5:30? Surely metal would still be good?

can't run can't fight it

has a amd radeon rx 7800xt and a amd ryzen 7 7700x. will it be able to run rust? heard some parts dont work well with rust so i want to make sure i get good enough stuff

Each item could easily be used in the loot pool or crafting system to make progression more realistic, fun, and challenging.

Missing planned features:

• The fridge is already in the game, so why not make food spoil if it isn’t stored in one? Certain items could be nonperishable. The fridge has no real use other than aesthetics for now.
• Blood could be used to craft medkits as originally intended—maybe syringe it from your player at the cost of 25 HP.
• Smoke rockets have been sitting there FOREVER. Just add particle effects pls! We already have smoke grenades and 40mm grenades, so why not rockets for the new combat heli?
• And what’s up with survey charges? They’ve felt pointless since player-placed quarries were removed. You can’t even get them as a BP anymore, yet they’re still in the crafting menu. Implement or remove.

?? idk:

• The shovel could finally get some use by pairing it with the metal detector to dig up underground treasure. I hate that the pitchfork isn't a default weapon and only comes around at Halloween.
• Flashlights/weapon flashlights should require use of small batteries that drain over time, forcing players to strategize use in the dark.
• Research paper could make the research table recipe more unique. Could be a barrel-only/roadside drop. And while paper was removed, it could make a comeback as part of a new item. Notes made of wood never made much sense.
• Sure, some items—like glue, bleach, and sticks—were added as jokes, but they shouldn’t be removed. Instead, they could serve a purpose in crafting or quests.

This is all up for interpretation; I’d just love to see these implemented rather than discarded or forgotten about.
