    First post on here. A few days ago, the single player started to take really long to launch, and it doesn't launch it all now. I saw a post from a steam question, and that didn't help either. I'm not really sure what to do, I've already tried to uninstall to game and get it back and tried to delete extra workshop content. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    I have this problem today. I purchased DLC packs, now rF2 won't launch.

    Tried unsubscribe and restart.

    @Trumpet_Man @James Holland
    Try right clicking on the game in steam, properties, local files, verify integrity of game files.

    And if that doesn't do it, then delete content of "rFactor 2/UserData/Log/CBash" and "rFactor 2/UserData/Log/Shaders"

    Thanks for the help - I can see the DLC mods have installed when I open rFactor2 application! Thankyou for that tip!

    But rF2 will still not launch single player mode.

    I've deleted files in UserData/Log/ also...

    Thanks very much,
    James

    Does it launch Multiplayer ? And allow joining a server ?

    I'd try to create a new Player. Backup your current, and delete it, then create new and make sure to also run video-settings again. I assume that you don't have any unsupported plugins installed ?

    Close rF2
    Move the ...\rFactor 2\UserData folder to your desctop (for example)
    Open rF2
    rF2 will create automatically the UserData folder.
    You'll have to assign your controls again.

    Hi, if i remember correctly you had problems to run rF2 with a laptop and you were thinking on buying a new PC.
    Do you have the new computer?

    If you're using the new UI (public beta), rF2 will not launch with any kind overlay running: Steam Overlay, Fraps, Nvidia Frameview <~ They all prevent rF2 from launching.

    Disable new UI and no problem with overlays.

    Your problem could be different.
    Could you describe what's your problem?
    What are your system specs?
