    Maybe it helps to verify files before starting the game..

    simple things first. Rename your player.json file. Then restart rF2. 2nd step is much like the first. Rename the UserData folder.

    We know about the crashes, and we'll update you tomorrow. So please select watch this thread in the top right corner, and you'll get an alert when someone posts here.

    Tried the suggestions in this topic but yhey had no effect. After a few hours fiddling i found the problem. After an hour of rF2 logo the game stops with a video error message. I opened the rF2 video setup and saw that GPU and Resolution was empty and grayed out. I had to put it in mode windowed, then i could set the GPU and Resolution. Then the game started without any issues.

    Thanks, first step didn't work, second one did.

  9. Most of the times a deletion of "LocalStorage" folder does the job for me which saves the work to re-assign all controls (userdata also contains controls.ini); at the moment I recognized that after shutting down rF2 a single process rfactor2.exe remains, which is also shown by Steam.
