    Does it never work at all? This has started happening on my laptop, but trying with fewer AI drivers seems to work.

    Can you post more information, like system specs, game settings, etc.

    Well, on my end I have an Asus N56V:
    i7-3630QM @ 2.40GHz
    Nvidia Geforce GT 635M
    8Gb of RAM
    Win10

    It's modest but at least it used to run. I did a small experiment:

    Here's the display settings.

    Here's the sessions settings that crash for me. One AI car less started just fine. If I start the session with less than 8 AI in this case, I can freely mash the Add AI button once the session is loaded and the game does not hang.

    Hi
    Right so I click on rfactor2, it connects to my account, I choose single player. It then lets me choose a track and car.
    In the display options I have everything set to low.
    I click race, it loads up the track and when it loads to the pits it then freezes and tells me rfactor2 has stopped working and makes you close the program. It does this with every track and every vechile. Then it sends you back to the beginning every time. The internet cable is plugged directly into the back of the computer and it's a brand new computer with only rfactor2 and steam on it. Any ideas what's wrong?

    Do you have the latest video drivers? Nothing has changed in rf2 in the last two days, so it's most likely your computer.

    Sometimes after major W10 updates the vcredist executables need to be installed again.

    I turned my al drivers to 0 and everything works now. It's a brand new gaming computer but my graphics card needs upgrading.

    You need to install visual c redistributables.
    You have them under rF2/support folder.
    There are 4 exe installation executables.
