Rust Not Working for You? It Might Not Be an Outage
If the status above shows no ongoing outage but Rust isn't loading for you, the problem is likely on your side or with your internet provider.
Common Reasons Rust Stops Working
- Facepunch Studios server outage affecting official servers or the authentication backend
- Monthly forced-wipe maintenance — Rust wipes all official servers on the first Thursday of each month
- Steam authentication failure preventing game launch
- Community or modded server going offline independently of Facepunch
- EAC (Easy Anti-Cheat) update blocking the game from launching
How to Fix Rust Not Working
- Check the live status above and follow @playrust on X for server and wipe announcements
- If it's the first Thursday of the month, servers are wiping — this is expected and takes 1–2 hours
- For community server issues, contact the server owner — Facepunch does not control these
- Verify game files through Steam: right-click Rust → Properties → Local Files → Verify
- Reinstall Easy Anti-Cheat: run EasyAntiCheat_Setup.exe in the Rust installation folder
- Restart Steam completely to fix Steam authentication errors
