Aether Rust External
Rust External
Three product-specific steps on top of the shared setup. Do all three before you open the loader.
Prefer watching? Video install guide walks through the three steps below end to end.
- 01Disable your antivirus. Real-time protection off is not enough for the external — the packer trips signature scans on every launch. If you have a third-party AV installed, uninstall it through Add or remove programs and restart the PC.
- 02Install Simple Sight (Crosshair Overlay). The external uses it as its render host, so it must be installed from Steam once — you do not need to launch it manually, the loader picks it up on start. Get it from store.steampowered.com/app/3256420.
- 03Disable Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling, then reboot. Windows Settings → System → Display → Graphics → Change default graphics settings → toggle Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling off. Restart the PC — the toggle only takes effect after a reboot.
