    Hi everyone,

    So my brother recently bought a new PC and installed rFactor 2 on Sunday 10th December. It worked fine all of Sunday and Monday morning but when we both got home from school on Monday afternoon, we discovered that rFactor 2 would no longer start without crashing. I have seen a fix for this issue where you click 'Force 32-bit' but when we try that, we get a Microsoft Visual C++ error message instead. If anyone knows of a fix for this issue, please contact me immediately. rFactor 2 Error.pgn.PNG

    An added note. A massive thank you to everyone who replied but nothing was working so we did basically a factory reset on rFactor2 and now it's working

    Thanks,
    Peter.

    Does it give you an error when it crashes in 64bit mode?

    No. It just crashes. No actual error message. It just says 'rFactor 2 has stopped working'.

    Did you install some plug-ins? Some will crash the game.

    No. We haven't installed any plug-ins. Only some cars and tracks that we know work.

    Can you try right clicking the game on steam, go to properties, local files, verify integrity of game files?

    maybe some download of a mod or track didn't go well, I would uninstall an item then try again until you find the culprit.. or have deleted them all

    Have a look the antivirus sometimes it clean what you don't want.
    Try to unninstall completely the game and look for the files that are not cleaned and install another time all the game.

    There is nothing out of order in any of the setting in the entire game.

    @antton The bottom of the first post, they 'factory reset' rF2 and it started working. I'm not sure what that means. But I think their issue was different to yours, it looks like theirs wouldn't even load to the main menu. I would suggest starting your own thread, or finding one on this issue specifically - I think there have been a couple recently on crashing when the track loads.
