    Are you looking for assistance? You'll need to be more specific.

    i dont know the reason for the crashes, only major changes i did was to update windows,
    i use same drivers i used before.
    installed soem tracks and cars,but dont thin that will crash the game,
    no other games crash,
    its only rfactor 2.

    mtbboy...

    64bit used to crash for me with a lot of builds until I updated fraps to the latest version. It would seem fraps was causing rf2 64bit to crash for me.

    Do you have any old versions of other software/programs you use?

    Make sure they`re all up to date, it can`t hurt anyway. :)

    how do i run rfactor2 in 64bit, how do it turn it on excuse my stupidity, i can see the 64bit folder and the 32bit folder with the exe's in them. does it do it by itself or you have to turn it on?
    i have version 906
    windows 8.1 64bit
    i5 -4670 cpu 3.40ghz
    nvidia gtx 970 344.16

    it will run 64bit by default,nothing to do :)

    I tested the new drivers instead of old ones but did not install the newer audio driver/software that comes with the catalyst software.
    64bit didn't crash and Mills looked really nice,no washed out colours.
    was only a quick drive/test though.
    hope to test it more asap

    This build has been crashing more so than normal. But to see if its rF2 or something else, install a lite version to a different location and test the clean install.

    Mine is a clean install

    Any way of finding out what causes the crash?
    trace feature or something?

    To be honest I'm not sure if there is a error logging option for the sim, but start in Windows event viewer/applications. It may give you a clue as to what is going on, unlikely but worth a look.

    With your clean install, did you copy *.json files back into userdata, or is it virgin?

    Also if you don't mind, where and how often are you crashing...
    For example, I'll crash sometimes when a server starts new weekend, sometimes when in setup menu, but never when actually driving.

    If you are running 32bit Windows, then yes.

    event viewer gives nothing
    copied player.json and controller files that's all.

    I crash when racing,not crashed in menu.
    going to try an older catalyst now,pre 14.9............

    No the launcher is only 32 bit . @ the Rfactor2.exe should be NO *32 .. then you run Rfactor2 in 64 bit
