    I just bought a new computer and after Rust made me download the EasyAntiCheat progrm, windows 8.1 isn't letting open Rust. I searched and found some suggested things to do. I tried everything. I uninstalled rust then downloaded the EasyAntiCheat Service (from the http://www.easyanticheat.net/ site) again and I was able to log onto the game. After the update today, it is giving me the EasyAntiCheat Service executable not found message. There has to be a fix for this...anyone know what it is?

    Have you tried restarting your computer?

    Yes, I have.....several times. I disabled Driver Signature Verification, reinstalled Rust and manually downloaded the EasyAntiCheat Service (which did work once until I updated Rust today). I tried it again and it didn't work. I can't run a server if I can't play on it lol

    Do you have any security software that may be interfering?

    Try disabling Avast temporarily, I see the icon for that on the desktop and have heard users have issues with it and others.
