    Also could be important - that in developer mod - game starts OK, and I managed to get on tratk with that test mod on josevile without problems.

    but when I click on single or online - it imidiatelly says that error about shaders

    I solved it after reading some 'crazy' posts in other topics.

    So I installed it into c:/rfactor2/..., then copy in the mods, then start the game and from the game installed mods (other way then I used before)

    and this worked, but dont ask me why and how - I dont know what was cure for that issue... but it is gone and rF2b is now working for me

    Hi Ranger_Zx

    you installed rF2 in c:\rfactor2 , but what about rF2 data directory?
    I also did not quite understand what you did with the mods after re-installing,
    can you explain it better, thanks

    I let data directory in the same dir, it means probably c:/rfactor2/packages ? dont know for sure, because I asked for refund in the meantime and I dont have rF2b anymore.

    But in order to try to help you:
    - after reinstalling the game from that ...build..exe
    - I only copied .rfmod files into packages directory
    - I started the game (and it worked...) (before, I installed all mods in the game-launcher-enviroment - mod-manager)
    - I installed the mods and tracks from inside the game

    I really dont know what was helpfull. If only fifth reinstal in row... if that directory... if something else..

    Tried to re-install in C:\rFactor2, (both core and data)
    tried to install the mods via the launcher and via the modmgr.exe direct file,
    tried to put the .rfmod into Packages folder...
    always getting the same error "Error creating standard default shader"

    I had this problem when I installed the game to a harddrive without the windows installation on it.

    I fixed the problem by installing the core data onto C: (the drive I have Windows installed on) and put the data onto a different drive.
    Not sure why it fixed it but it did. Before that I tried everything; graphics drivers, directX, re-downloaded the install file...

    It also worked with the data on C:
