Rust - How To Display FPS & Ping Counter
Original source date
Answer
There are different ways of displaying your FPS (frames per second) and latency, and in this tutorial, we will use the built-in counters, as these should be the most reliable. Close Rust and open up your Steam library. Eight-click Rust and select Properties. In your Rust properties, navigate to the General tab and select Set launch options. All commands you enter into this dialogue box will be applied every time you launch the game. To show your framerate, use the command: perf 1

Use the command perf 6 to show your frame rate, server ping, RAM usage, garbage collection, and tasks running, which I suggest using. This will help you figure out where network-related issues are coming from. To toggle the window in-game, make sure to use the F8 shortcut. You can also use the in-game console to toggle the same commands without using launch options.
