    Steam dosnt seem to be updating my Rfactor 2 files im stuck at build 2389622 and the current build is 2445683
    if anyone has any suggestions that would help please feel free to advise . Getting the Rfactor 2 graphics engine is depreciated using dx9 message please upgrade to dx11 , that would be swell if it did

    Have you opted out of betas in the rF2 beta tab in steam?

    Be sure not to use screen rendering plugins. In some cases deleting userdata folder (backup) seem to help. Verifying the integrity of the cache can also fix issues in other cases. Good luck

    Run the DXSETUP.exe from here: Steam\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\Support\DirectX

    If that doesn't work get the launcher on screen, select Settings, select the Single Player option for Command Line Interface Parameters and type this trace=5
    No capitals or spaces then click Save.
    That gives you a log file in Steam\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\UserData\Log
    Post that log here and someone may find the problem from it.

    Have you tried it with loading original car and track content?
    If i look into your trace file there is at least one car not loading correctly, the M6_GTLM.
    And if there is another one with corrupted or bad made files, it can cause the crashes that you have.
    Load original content and see what happens then.
