    This was 3 weeks ago, so my memory isn't quite sure...I think Created match up.
    Modified does not match.

    @Flavio Giunchi I didn't read all Posts, so sorry, if that has been discussed already.
    Did you try it with completely deactivating the Replay recording?

    Today's Theme : setted all drive's virtual memory about 10GB.
    upload_2022-4-8_21-54-16.png

    Yesterday, I was playing a endurance race so I rejoin in advance.
    This worked out well and we were able to finish the race.

    However After the race, I was hold a replay review stream,
    unfortunately, as usual, rF2 fall down at about 100 minutes.


    2:47:10~

    -Steam log : Attached
    -rF2Mini.dmp : did not update.

    The theme may be not valid.
    That would make Plugin suspicious, but I would only be using the same Plugin as everyone else.
    (see https://forum.studio-397.com/index....fter-100-minutes-suddenly.71611/#post-1093956)
    But... Several plugin files that are not running may possibly be too old.
    Tomorrow, I will remove old files, and remake "CustomPluginVariables.JSON".

    One possible Problem is, that there have been Windows Updates since then, if i remember it right, that sometimes can cause bad Effects on some Machines.

    Why don't you let Windows manage the Size of the virtual Memory, like @Lazza has suggested already?
    And i guess splitting the virtual Memory and assign it to every Drive is not necessary.
    If your drive C: has enough free Space, let it being created only on that Drive and let Windows manage it.
    Or select another Drive that has more than enough free Space, if Drive C: doesn't have it.

    In the first place, the reason for this is that it was originally the case.
    But, I changed plans by deleting plugins and remaking custom~.json.

    Thank you.

    Yesterday, I successfully played rF2 total of about 2 hours.
    (1 hour and a half online and 30 min. offline.)

    I will continue this setting.
    Next, maybe next wednesday.

    Thank you.

    I have had a similar issue brand new PC, RF2 feezes and goes back to desk top after around 2-3hrs of play... driving me insane!
    I have played other games and it works fine... but my other games dont push the PC as hard as RF2... this is playing against the AI.

    His last trace file had the same errors (as far as I can see) and wasn't a crash.

    Solved my issue... brand new PC and no instructions! There was a magnetic front plate on the PC which is very hard to get off... however what was happening was my PC was over heating after 3hrs and shutting down RF2 back to desk top. With the cover removed i raced for 6hrs and 40 minutes yesterday with no issues! Word to the wise if you buy a PC online, check it right out (features and use) Has taken my 4mths to find that this panel comes off!

    (Same as last time.)


    3:09:45~

    Yesterday's race was important, so I rebooted before the race session.
    Thanks to that, I completed the race.
    But, I watched the replay file after the race, rF2 shutted down suddenly as usual.
    (see first trace log)


    4:56:45~
    Afterwards, I watched more.
    However, shut down again.
    (see next file)

    Last few weeks, I tried to find a solution for the Plugin side.
    But now, I consider the series of events is not relevant to Plugin.

    The trace log said controller device error at shutting down.
    My controller is Fanatec V2.5, It's general.
    And I often play other sim (RBR, DR2, ATS etc) on this device, it's not bad.
    I find it hard to believe this is bad.

    Next
    -Remake Controller.JSON and profile files.
    -The driver file reinstall.

    And hopefully this will be resolved in the next build.

    It may not be a bad controller, but your USB hub may be momentarily interrupted, possibly due to poor power or worn connections in the port. rF2 may be more sensitive to such disruptions.
    Try and remove any other USB connected devices that are not important to your racing. Also try using different USB hubs. The older Fanatec may work better in a 2.0 USB connection vs a 3.0 USB port.
