    After update rFactor 2 can't start multiplayer or singler player mode. And it doesn't report anything. Just nothing.

    Can someone help with this problem?

    This update killed my rF2 as well.

    I'm verifying the game's integrity.

    EDIT: Didn't help.

    Not only annoying, it's embarrassing having to re-download a 30GB game because an update killed it.

    I removed my UserData folder and started it again. It's downloading 7 items from the workshop. Let's see where this goes.

    Deleted my UserData folder and it downloaded about 2 GB of data. Almost 8 GB of downloads today.
    Single Player now starts.

    I don't have any plugins.

    Steam library=> right click on rF2=>properties and on the dialogue box that pops up select the beta tab and on the dropdown select v1109, it's the very bottom one if I remember correctly, not at my pc atm.

    After this update my rF2 install also does not start in DX11 mode for either online or offline racing, but if I switch back to DX9 both work?? rF2 verifies 100% ok in STEAM and I've tried the suggestions about removing the shaders/cbash/plugins which doesn't fix it.

    When I select an online server in the lobby and then enter the password, it downloads the vmod file but then just sits in the Launcher waiting for me to do something else.

    EDIT I've just moved the Userdata folder out of rF2 and let it be recreated by running rF and it still doesn't start in DX11. Looks like I'll have to stick with DX9 until a newer release might fix it, or somebody comes up with a solution.

    I've had rF2 since day1, moved it to STEAM when it went there and NEVER had any problems with switching/running between DX9/DX11 before this latest update. It's strange that other people have the same problem as me??

    If it works in DX9, then it most likely is a plug-in. In DX9, check the plug-ins in game, see if something is running. Also, was it working on DX11 before? Are you on Windows 10(I think DX11 needs Windows 10)?

    @Turbonetick please list everything you've done to this point, so we can suggest things you haven't. Also hardware, and if you can screenshot your video config window that would be good too.

    You didn't take note of my post. I said it had worked in DX9 and DX11 with all previous updates.
    I also said "I've tried the suggestions about removing the shaders/cbash/plugins which doesn't fix it"
    WIN7 runs DX11, or didn't you know that?
