    Since teh last big update the game is unplayable.

    My keyboard isn’t recognised, I get blank white screens, if I do get to the menus it takes ages to swap from one screen to another.

    I have deleted the game and all of it’s files & re-loaded - still the same.

    All my other steam games & other sims work fine.

    Really annoying as I like rFactor 2 but can’t play it now….

    Did you run the video config tool?

    Check that your virus checker is not blocking anything related to the game.

    I've started seeing that as well. blank pages, especially when trying to create new controller profiles. I had to load and save a profile about 4 times before all the changes I had made reached the car on the track. I'd assign a command, save it and many other commands and then test it out. 4 times in a row one or more of those commands didn't work. Did it again, and again. During that process I had at least two major lockups. I always choose fullscreen but that presents a problem, when you press ctrl-alt-del to bring up the task manager, the task manager cannot overlay the rF2 window. I had to log out of windows to escape one of those lockups.
    Quick edit: I had two instances of rF2, one in steam and one in documents. I removed the documents version and the UI seems to be performing correctly. I won't say this is a solution for others, but mine is back. (the cause, I think, was deleteing and re-installing Steam.)

    Is your windows using a "complex" language by any chance? (something with non-arabic letters) There was/is an issue there, might be irrelevant now, just something to check/try.

    Thanks Lazza, not that I am aware of? I have quad monitors set up, but only using a single monitor in rF2
