    When I click the Launcher nothing happens, no error, nothing...
    I tried the lite 660 build, clean without any mods...

    What do I need to do?

    Is the exe for the actual game/launcher still there? Right click the link you are clicking and go to find target. Depending on your windows version this is somewhere in the context menu or inside properties.

    If it is, presume it must be! Then rename your documents rfactor2 folder to rfactor_bak or something like that and try again. If it then works it is something else added to the sim that broke it.

    If not, maybe license file got messed up?

    Look for the .rfactor directory and rename as above to see if you can get it to load. This is in your user data folder of windows in users or docs & settings under application profiles and roaming? iirc. Just search the forums or I am sure someone more familiar with the exact location can chip in ;)

    Thanks for trying to help Datanode. I've deleted my credentials folder and the launcher now seems to work.
    Have no idea why that stuff happened, anyways all good now.

    Sometimes happens to me too, restarting windows or waiting and retrying usually fixed it.

    Comante, I think you might be referring to the join button being grey in the multiplayer lobby, that is a matchmaker issue. You shouldn't randomly not be able to launch the exe file?

    Check your application logs etc ;) if you genuinely can't launch the game at all.
