Hi, While the track loading improved quite a lot. I still having a very long loading when i start rf2. The rf2 logo in the small white box stays up for easily 2 minutes before going to the main menu? Any tricks or fixes to load it faster? Kind regards, Nicky
@juanchioooo i'm pretty sure it has nothing to with my computer specs: MSI MB Z370 M5 i7 8700 32GB ram MSI RTX 2080ti SAMSUNG SSD 860 EVO 1TB M.2, KINGSTON A400 480 GB X2
What? @Nicky Cuypers Try cleaning out .rcd files from your UserData\player\Settings folders. People have reported slow load times and fixing them by removing downloaded files like those.
@Nicky Cuypers regarding what Lazza suggests, open the Settings folder and then do a search for .rcd It saves having to go through each car folder looking for rcd files.
well it is a solution, it is 5 times faster loading, but it is also true that it does not solve the problems of custom skins PD.-I apologize if the answer seemed insulting
I deleted the .rcd files and it fixed my problem! start up is les then 20 seconds now. Thank you all for replying
@Nicky Cuypers That's great to hear. Could you edit the thread title with the [Solved] prefix please. It may be helpful for others.
As far as my (occasionally useful but rarely dependable) grey matter tells me ,real time logging has no bearing on game loading time from Launcher through to sitting in car in the garage. I tested this by starting and then closing rF2 after the game had loaded and was ready to use. I checked the Log folder and no Logging file was written. I then started rF2 and this time I loaded a car and track and drove for a few seconds then exited the game and this time a Logging file was written. I think that easy and quick test proves logging has no bearing on loading times. I think if anything it would affect the time taken from leaving a track or using esc to pits to being at the next menu/options screen, even more if replays are being saved. This statement is my outlook and not aimed at Mangoletsi, think of it as a "thought for the day". If I'm wrong I don't mind. If I'm told why I was wrong I'm happy because I learnt something new.
I'm aware of that, but that also means everyone should be having long load times. They aren't. I'm guessing you might be, since you've assumed the logging is at fault, so you should probably try the same remedy. "Correlation doesn't imply causation"
I have noticed that my loading time has increased a lot recently. So, looked for rcd files on my PC and it reports finding only three! As I have never deleted any before, is this normal?
Yeah, I have hardly any too (correction: zero!). I'm not even sure what circumstances they get downloaded in Could be something else, not sure if it's just the current build(s) or something more specific that might be affecting you.
I'll wait until they release the UI build before I start to look any further. It has definitely slowed recently and I use a SSD, so notice it now.
I eliminated the shaders, Cbash, Result and replays, I also eliminated json players, restart rfactor and improved, the first time it takes to make new shaders when entering the circuit, but then it was much faster
