    I have recently upgraded my graphics ( added an eGPU with RTX2060 over my laptops RX580 ) and so have cranked up all visuals to maximum effect. Now, only in VR, some of the cars, instead of nice exhaust smoke plumes, have translucent "speech" balloons instead. I cannot work out which settings causes this. Any advice would be much appreciated for this great game

    Thanks. Where will I find this file? I don't see it in RFactor2 folders. Is it a steam file?

    I have no player file or folder and no json files. I'm running rFactor 2 in steam on windows 10. Does that make a difference?

    I don't know how you wouldn't have those files, they're generated when you start the game. I assume most people are running on windows 10 now, so it shouldn't matter.

    I found them! I was looking in the appdata area ( where I put packages from racedepartment ) I should have been looking in Program Files.

    I changed something that looked like heatFX and it fixed the problem. Appreciate your help
