    Running the launcher and selecting single player I see the rF2 logo appear and then nothing happens. The launcher itself seems to work, I'm also able to run the dev demo (no idea whether that's helpful). I don't use any VR hardware and didn't install any third party plugins, OS is Windows 10 64 bit.

    Did you set your video configuration?

    I guess, I changed the resolution. Was that wrong?

    Started it with trace=100 as command line. This is what I got:
    Code:

    What is a PLR file?

    Looks like your game folder isn't writeable by the current Windows user and/or Steam/rF2.

    It's trying to create the PLR file:
    D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\UserData\player\player.JSON
    ...but cannot.

    Had this problem about 4 months back.. I had to edit the RFactor 2 directory and all sub directories to read/write. (For some reason the steam installer sometimes creates the folder as read only to the system

    Browse to your rFactor 2 folder, right click, properties, permissions and change the settings so that folder and all subfolders are read/write.

    Thank you for your answers but it didn't help. I still get the same error.

    Have you recently reformatted? Only time I had this issue it was after I formatted and had changed the username I used in Windows. The user from my (now wiped) install of Windows had ownership of the folders and I literally had to either open every single directory in there to give the current user permission, fiddle with permissions endlessly, or wipe and start again, so I wiped.
