    Hi guys!
    First off all, all my graphic softwares were/are updated, so rF2 134 too.

    Problem: Im running the game, racing online or single-player, and from nothing the game just close!

    The OS (W7 64 bits) keep working fine when the game close/shutt down.
    so i think its not some "kernel" problem.

    I`m a little dissapointed to race, `cause everytime I`m going to, I think the game might re-start.
    It´s very frustrating! :(

    Some friends are having the same problem as I. So I decided to report.
    It`s not something that happens everytime. Just once a day.
    But its reeeeeally frustrating!!!!



    Im using a G27 with the latest 64 bit logitech software.


    My computer is a:

    i5 2400
    4 giga DDR3 1600Mhz
    eVGA 660 ti SC
    Corsair ATX 500W 80% +


    I`m running the game with all maxed, 1080p and AA level 4.
    No Vsync or adaptative Vsync.


    Waiting for an answer! \o

    Check in Event Viewer and see if there is an error message there.
    Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer > Summary of Administrative Events > Error > scroll down and see if there is any error under Application Error or anywhere else.

    If you check there right after a crash, it should be listed under Last Hour.

    Did you update to build 134? If yes, then try a clean install of the latest build (save Packages, uninstall, delete any left over files, reinstall full build 134).

    thanks man!
    Ill try this out if the problem happens again.
    I have some mods from ISR that are not working (not installed well `cause I dont have some tracks). Do you think that it
    might be the reason of the problem?

    I juts bought the game recently. I downloaded the latest buid before the 134...and then updated.
    But i gotta confess that i didn`t know how to manage these "clean/install/clean etc" thing. :p

    Try some other driver. Try the latest or the latest beta...or in some cases older drivers work better. I don't have nvidia so I don't know, maybe someone that has can tell you...or you can try searching these forums to se what driver are people using.

    Well, I`ve just searched the internet and, apparently, its something usual and happens with a lot of games.
    So, I did some things now and started Rfactor 2 multiplayer. It`s working so far.


    Things I did:
    Installed spyboot sarch and destroy end scanned/fixed things.
    Installed Dll fixer. And fixed (dã).
    Updated W7 SP1.
    And at least, but nos last I configurated rFactor2 to run with administrator and W7 compatibility (it was set for Windows Vista SP3).


    My Nvidia driver was upgraded before Rfactor2.
    so, i guess its working....lets play and wait.

    Thankx man!

    Are you using EVGA Precision?
    If so, try uninstalling it.
    This thread had the question:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...tly-with/50a721df-b2b0-409c-96fa-e6c4d68d2759

    Mike a Support Engineer suggested a Clean Boot:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Back to the first thread the guy with the problem reported it was EVGA Precision not getting along with Win7. So, if you are using it, maybe try removing it. Or you too do a clean boot and test some things first.

    There are a number of replies in that first thread. I didn't read them all. When I saw EVGA, I knew you had an EVGA card and stopped reading there. You may want to read more of the thread though.

    I would NOT try one of those "Fix.dll problems now" websites that keeps coming up in searches. I did not see a single person in any threads say anything about them. They sound fishy to me anyway.

    Hope this helps. If not, maybe one of the ISI team will know something about the problem. I see it is happening to a lot of people with verious games/apps, not just rF2.

    Glad you got it working.
    I guess some of those .dll fixers are okay then. I've always been a little suspicious of some of those things.

    I still wouldn't want to use one of those 'DLL Fixer' things. Trouble is he's done a bunch of other things too and now has no idea which one has fixed his problem or even if it has fixed it (hopefully it has).

    Not sure why he's running W7 compatibility if he's on W7, what was it doing set to Vista SP3, was there ever a Vista SP3 :confused:

    I just figured it was a typo and was supposed to be Vista SP2.

    As far as I know it was supposedly in the works, but I don't think it was ever released. I read somewhere that it was dropped because and Win 7 was released, which was Vista SP3 rebadged. Don't know if that is ture or not. Just something I read a while back.

    I'm on Vista Ultimate x64 SP2 and Windows update doesn't show an option for SP3.

    Charlie: If you have plugins, remove them, then if that stops the crashing, add them 1 by 1 until you find the culprit.

    Ok, I'll just let the guys know in my next report to the devs, which should be this afternoon. I can't think of much else except system issues with directx not updated, etc.

    At what point does it crash? Does the launcher crash, or the rfactor2 window when launched?

    It crashes while i'm playing, 20 minutes after playing or 5 or 60 minutes. You can't expect when is going to crash. But I can play with no problems till its crashes.

    Oh, that's interesting. Maybe they can make something out of the error image you posted. Thanks for your patience.
