Rust launches 7 Days to Die on Mac instead of Rust

I’m having a very strange issue on Mac. When I try to launch Rust from Steam, instead of Rust starting, 7 Days to Die launches.

Here’s what I’ve already tried:

Uninstalled and reinstalled Rust

Verified game files integrity through Steam

Rebuilt Steam library

Reinstalled Steam completely

Checked that Rust.app is correct

Despite all of this, launching Rust from Steam still starts 7 Days to Die.

It seems like the problem is somewhere in Steam’s library/launch settings, but on Mac the support button always takes me to Facepunch, which can’t fix this issue.

Has anyone experienced the same problem, or knows a workaround? Any help would be really appreciated.

First thing to try is right click on Rust in your library and select Browse Local Files. See what folder it opens up to.

You can also most likely bypass this issue by launching the Rust.app directly or from a Desktop Shortcut instead of from the Steam client.
