Developed by Facepunch Studios and Double Eleven, Rust is a multiplayer survival video game that was released in February of 2018. It is inspired by Day Z and Minecraft.
The main objective of players in Rust is to survive the wilderness by gathering or stealing materials. Since its release, the developers have updated the game with new content and added several new features.
But like every online multiplayer title, some bugs and issues do surface from time to time. Having said that, Rust players say (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) they are having low FPS and experiencing stutters after a recent update.
Many say that the performance has dropped significantly and that the game sometimes freezes for a second or two. The issue seems to be affecting the majority of players and is ruining the gameplay experience.
Players say they verified game files with some even reinstalling the game but that did not help either. You can read below what some Rust players affected by low FPS and stutters have to say.
As it turns out, Rust developers are yet to acknowledge the low FPS issue. Thankfully, we came across a workaround that might help with the problem.
A bunch of players say closing or deleting the Valorant anti-cheat called Vanguard seems to fix the low FPS and frequent stutters.
Rest assured, we will update this space once the problem is officially fixed so stay tuned. In the meantime, do let us know if the aforementioned workaround helped you or not in the comments down below.
