    This has been mentioned in the Bug Reports section. I had CTDs last night after the update earlier in the day. No explanation - just driving along normally and boom! Hello desktop...

    Which build were you using? What car and track?
    PC Spec?

    Not sure many people want to be sherlock holmes or mind readers if you can't give them info to try and help.

    Hello. I'm running a Ryzen 5, 32GB RAM and a GTX 1060. It's a brand new machine that I have moved to from my older one. I have installed steam but when trying to run RF2 it just simply crash without any message.
    I have tried re-install, also delete the userdata folder on RF2, but nothing worked.
    Other Simracing games such as iRacing is running without any issues.

    A new PC... have you installed the Microsoft Runtime files - in the Support sub-folder?
    It's easy to miss these when you do a re-install on a new device.

    What exactly happens?
    Does the Folder ..\rFactor 2\UserData exists already?
    If yes, delete it and try again.
    If not, did you already try it with running Steam and/or rFactor 2 as an Administrator?
    And do you run the Graphics Configuration before you start it?

    @Seb251280, when you run rf2 at what point does it crash?
    And do you run this from the Steam interface PLAY button or from the rFactor2 shortcut?
    If the former, you should get a Steam dialog popup before you can actually start rf2 - do you get this?

    Have you got the latest GPU drivers?
