OK, so I still can't run rf2 in dx11 after deleting cbash and shader folder contents. Upon starting, I get the normal delay with the rf2 eye test then, rf2 has stopped working. Close the program or check online for a solution, neither one does anything, it just stops working. I go back to steam/rf2/right click/properties/betas/opt out/ close & return, hit play and it works. I am exhausted reading all the do this do that posts when actually none will work for me. Any help is appreciated. windows 8.1-intel core i-7 6700k cpu @4ghz. Nvidia geforce gtx 960. latest rf2 install
Disable all plugins that draw to the screen, they wont work with DX11 and make it crash. Leave only the default plug ins for now and test again.
No plugins, same result. went back to dx9, all is well but wish I could see the difference. Thanks anyway, I'll watch the forum, maybe somebody else has the same problem.
verified all files, missing one, reacquired, restarted, crashed. reverted back to dx9, all ok. when I started rf2 and I just got the rfcmp/packages/install/confusion figured out about the time .json took over and I had all kinds of problems and went to steam shortly after and don't mess with files so I am ignorant to .json and the inner workings. I put my helmet on, hit play and smile. One day I will be forced to figure it out, you know, necessity being the mother of invention and all, since rf2 has become a necessity after retirement. Thanks tho for trying to help.
When I have very big problems I save principal configurations like the wheel and uninstall rfactor2 completely and then put my configurations another time in a new one. I think it is the best solution but only when you have tried all. Try it if you want to play another time.
crew chief installed but disabled and have tried both ways, on/off, no difference. Don't think i'm complaining tho, i love it w/dx9 and will continue to enjoy it while chasing a solution.
What are your system specs? At this point if I were you I would try completely clean and fresh install, see what happens. If that doesn't fix it then it may be a bug related to your specific system configuration. GPU drivers or something like that, who knows.
When I get those symptoms while switching between DX9 and DX11, the solution is always that I forgot to disable plugins.
