    Can somebody please help me!

    I love playing RFACTOR 2 but when I trying to launch it, it just thinks about it for a second then then nothing happens. This is from the Steam client and when I click on the desktop Icon.

    I'm running windows 10 64 bit, on a PC with 16Gb Ram, and an intel i7-3770 cpu @3.4

    My Gaphics card is an Nvdia Geforce GTX 1060 6GB

    My Wheel is a Thrustmaster T300 RS

    All my other games in my steam library work fine except RF2

    I did a few weeks ago, download the Nvidia Gefore Experience Software and I have the latest drivers installed but for some reason RF2 is not showing as a game on the system - see screenshot.

    I have checked the integrity of the game files with the Steam Client and that didn't work and I have uninstalled the game and have re-installed it and that has not worked either.

    I have un-subscribed from the Steam Workshop addons too.

    I have screenshot my Steam/Library/steamapps/common/rfactor2/userdata/controller and its just got all the wheel .json files. Is this correct?

    Anybody have any idea's? tried to roll back my PC but said it can't due to an update has happened since.

    Yes, controller folder has wheel profiles only. Your config files are in userdata\player . You could try removing your .json files from there so new ones are created (uninstall doesn't do that).

    *I didn't read the post properly and thought it was clicking from the launcher that wasn't working. None of the game data files are involved in the initial rF2 startup (before the launcher) so no need for removing any of the .json files in that case.

    GeForce Experience does not support rF2. It will only show supported games. Setup/games will show a link to supported games.

    I have no idea why your game won't start. Are you sure everything installed correctly? Do you start the game from Steam? Desktop shortcut?
    Desktop shortcut should point to rF2/rFactor2.exe, or rF2/bin64/rFactor2.exe. Try starting from inside Steam.
