    hi,

    since release B 982 i have the problem, that the game crashes when i change the graphic settings ingame.
    If i reinstall the game and change the settings with the config.exe all running fine, but when i change anything in the ingame settings and press the
    apply changes button. The game crashes and the config.ini is unwritable. I cant change anything over the config.exe or ingame.

    The next problem is, since release of B982 i have extreme framedrops in some situations.
    Befor i installed B982 all running fine and very smooth.

    Have anybody the same problem or can help me to solve this?

    regards

    in the moment i can say it is when i change the AA or FXAA settings.
    i will check the other settings, but it is a very long test parcour because i have to reinstall the game after the crash.
    how i have written in my first post, the config.ini is (locked/unwritable) after the crash and i cant change anything.

    I'm not updated to this build yet and I have always encountered this. Curious as to why it happens.

    Clean install? If not, install the Lite as a fresh & clean Installation and report

    Do you have issues if you do it from the config tool rather than in-game?

    Not sure if you want my response too, but I don't have any problems from the config tool.

    same by me. single monitor and if i dont change any graphic settings ingame, i can use the config tool.
    but when i change any setting ingame, the game crashes and the config.ini is unwriteable. with this i mean,
    i cant use the config tool, and when i change any in the ingame settings, the game crashes again.

    where do you install rF2?
    could you try installing both core and data in, let's say c:/rF2, to see if it makes any difference. It seems as rF2 has no permission to modify configuration. ini

    My rfactor 2 folder is D:\Program Files\rFactor 2, and both my core and data folders are in there as well. I always run the exe as administrator as well, so I doubt it's any permission issue.

    So you won't even try?
    If so, you are not in big trouble (desperate) I would say since it is a 5 minute test.

    How can you be sure it is not a permission issue if you don't try the easiest way to check it?

    Are you giving permissions to all the executables or only to the launcher? I am not an expert in computers so I always try to overcome it using my limited knowledge, logics and intuition.

    When you are having a problem that you are for sure it is only affecting very few people (as it is the case), you have to think that the problem is yours. So you have to think about what may have gone wrong in your side.

    i have tried many different install path´s. but all with the same result.

    the permissions i have checked too and this is not the problem.
    for me its very curious because after the crash, the config tool and the ingame options show (as example) the AA Level is set to "0",
    but in the config.ini the AA level is set as "2" or else what i have set at the first time i use the config tool.

    this morning i have buy the lifetime and have installed the lite B982 again to different folders but overall the same issue.

    I just make sure to always do it from the config tool and all is well.
