Hello everyone, if u are reading this it is likely that u have the “famous” problem… U either just bought rust and just finished installing it but sadly you get welcomed by being stuck at a loading screen that says bootstrap config when you start it. Or maybe you just got a new pc and have the same problem.

Hello everyone, if u are reading this it is likely that u have the “famous” problem… U either just bought rust and just finished installing it but sadly you get welcomed by being stuck at a loading screen that says bootstrap config when you start it. Or maybe you just got a new pc and have the same problem. Isnt it perfect?

However if you have this problem like i did you will most likely try to fix it but none of the fixes you found worked. Or maybe they “worked”

Alternative Fix #1

All Fixes are Listed from Worst to Best According to Me.

This is the first solution i found and all credit to then one who did this but i’m sad to say that i cant remember who it was:

“Found it finally!!!! Your file path may be different depending on where you installed steam. But take this path:

• C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Rust

Then right click on Rust.exe and click run as administrator, then right click on RustClient.exe and click run as administrator. They both booted it imediatly for me, then it worked by just booting it through the steam library. Hope this worked for you, cheers!”

So i did this for a while… What do i mean for a while? well this fix only worked until i tried to boot the game through steam library. Still stuck at bootstrap config.
