    Hey guys, I just bough the new Formula E Energy pack and everything went fine until the first crash...
    Hit a wall in Hong Kong and the game freezed, Windows didn't actually showed up the message '' Rfactor2 stopped working...''. The game was actually working, ffb working, sounds working and even the ''landscape'' of the track were animated... But the car when entered in contact with the wall froze... In addition, no commands work... No buttons work, lcd display, formula e wheel...
    I NEED HELP, ANYONE!! Thanks!

    I actually do not believe that wall in particular was the problem, as it happens with all walls... But anyways, in the pics im hitting one of the advertising plates on the side of the Interlagos track...

    I did tried to uninstall and reinstall rFactor2, but I might have done it incorrectly, as it started exactly the same way it did before uninstalling, I mean, the game did not reset as if it was new...

    Oh, and another detail, I think it just happens to the Formula E cars, because the game was running smoothly before installing the pack...

    Thanks anyways guys!
    I'll keep looking and waiting for help

    Post your computer specs please. This is most likely a physics crash, but it could be a CPU problem.

    @patchedupdemon Was it you that had the issue with the BMW who posted the comment on Steam Workshop?

    I'd like to know more information on this too so I can fix the car if it has an issue. So far you're the only one who has experienced it out of ~1700 users.

    That's not a physics crash. Maybe your wheel is broken or something.

    No man, of course it is, it must be. Wheel works fine with every other sim racing game that i use!!! It's definetly not my wheel! The wheel does work with rFactor 2, it works with all cars and with the F-E, but games freezes when I hit something solid with the new car! Only the new car! Hitting thins with other cars doesn't break the game...

    Guys, help me out... The game works fine the way it is with all cars. Unfortunately, when I select the new Formula E car, the game freezes, but only in the moment I touch a wall or something similar... I can drive the other cars hitting barriers and destroing the car and I can drive the F-E. But with the last one, in particular, hitting a wall freezes the game... Having to re-launch it.
    It's easy to see that is a rFactor 2 bug, malfunction, physic error or something related to the game! Not related to my machine or my wheel... Mainly, because everything works fine with other games.

    You are not the only one, I have similar problems. It used to only happen with the Clio but the last Clio update (before Studio 397) took car of it. Tim Wheatley at the time said it was a know issue. rFactor 2 was rock solid otherwise, until recently. Since the last couple of builds (dx11), it's re-occuring with more cars, so far the Civic, Formula Renault 2014 and Corvette street cars. Certain crashes will lock up rFactor 2. Otherwise rFactor 2 is working great.

    @aothman is this consistent? Can you reproduce at will (or at least within 3-4 attempts every time)? If so can you specify one car/track combo that does it, so @Ricardo Martins can test it too, and more of us can check if it happens?

    @Ricardo Martins I think the 'physics crash' mentioned was something very specific, which your image didn't reflect. That's not to say it's not the game's fault. And you shouldn't mention other games, as that just leads people down side paths that aren't relevant. If no other car does this in rF2 for you, but the FE does it consistently, that suggests an issue with it and that's all you need.
