Game crashes

Is there a graphics card/directx conflict causing the crash?  I know you said ark works fine but the game engines are not the same. Do you have any other games that use the Unity game engine?

I never had the 1080 gpu so I don’t have a clear understanding on what features of Directx 11 that it doesn’t support.

 
Ok that log went nowhere fast.

Rust is barely even voxel-based, so saying you can play rust is like taking your car to the mechanic for a problem and telling them that your motorcycle runs just fine.

Exclude the client from your antivirus, and then verify the files twice. Instructions are in the Pinned FAQ.

rust uses unity game engine

Lots of games use the Unity engine. A large portion of them aren't voxel based at all.

Rust only uses voxels for your building structures. It doesn't have a fully 3D Voxel terrain mapping structural integrity of every one of the thousands of blocks that are loaded around the player. It's not drawing 30,000+ textures in your field of view at any given point in time. It's only doing maybe a few hundred.

was able to get to main menu once, but was glitchy then crashed, since then wont get past the launching screen where its loading easy anticheat before it crashes, i have uninstalled and force reinstalled easy anticheat, uninstalled and reinstalled steam and still getting the same results

this is the log of when i was able to get to the main menu

@BFT2020 all, i mean all of my other programs and games work 100%, i have been building my computers since 1998

That output log can't be from a run where you succeeded to reach main menu. It stops immediately at start and is only 19 lines long. Except if the buffer couldn't even be written to disk, but then the OS would have had to crash immediately.

@SylenThunder yes i have done it, does the same thing

Please be more verbose. Sylen gave two tips in two messages and we don't know which one you did. Preferable you should have tried both.

Does the operating system crash as well? If yes, what is in the logs of the operating system? Even if not, what is in the logs of the operating system?

I'm relatively sure (~90%) your problem is hardware. Why? Because you say you crash at different times in startup. This can only be explained by your hardware having problems at specific operations or stresses that only happen with 7 days which is a game that (through its voxel nature) does stress other parts of a PC than other games or programs. Secondly because you seem to say your operating system gets unoperative as well, something a program should not be able to do. But you haven't been very clear on this point so I can only guess.

So first use a RAM checker.

Then use mprime. This tests whether the CPU has a problem.  7 Days is one of the few games that uses CPU more than GPU, although this shouldn't already be happening at startup (??) so probably nothing will come of it.

Then do a stress test using both CPU and GPU. This will test primarily your power supply.

There is still the possibility of software problems, for example incompatibilities between OS and 7 days. So next thing you could do is starting a headless 7 days to die server. If that succeeds it means there is something fishy with the graphics driver or graphics card. Try installing an older driver version or replace the graphics card with the one of the old PC, just for a test naturally.

Also check the setting of the windows cache, is it still at default?

 
Did you at least try Meganoth’s suggestions yet?  Right now it looks like an issue with hardware or drivers.

I built a new computer in November and 7D2D is running like butter on my computer A19.3)

 
I might have missed it but I didn’t see a post on the specs of the new machine you built that is having the issue.  There might be a clue there.

@meganoth i did try that and everything checked out good

In court a laywer would say you are a hostile witness. Any shred of information has to be pulled out of your nose. In effect you are just wasting everyone's time.

For example I gave the advice to start a headless server and look whether it runs or not. But you don't say whether that succeeded or not. You don't post an updated log, nothing.

I'm sorry, the best advice I can give you is to hire an expert or ask a friend with PC knowledge to look at your PC.

@meganoth what is a headless server and how would I do that

So you have been not quite "serious" when you said you "tried that and everything checked out good". What else have you not done?

A headless server is the game started as a server only, without the user being automatically logged in to it. Since such a server needs to show no graphics it would give a hint whether graphics has something to do with the problem or not.

A howto on how to start a headless server must be somewhere in a sticky thread in "General Support" I think.

I should double-check that post in that thread. It's been a while since I put the Winblows guide together.  If you really want to rule, you can go full headless Linux dedi, but you kind of need a spare PC for that. Guide is here. 

 
Decided to do a hail marry and see if doing a format on game drive and windows drive and a 100% fresh windows install would fix the problem, it did fix the problem, thank you all for trying to help me

 
I was just reading yesterday about how you can fix poor performance on SSD's by secure-erasing them. It was mainly in relation to drives used in RAID array's, but was interesting information.
