    While trying to load into a server or a single player race the same error message comes up. I have tried validating the files through steam as that is the first fix but that hasnt worked, just looking to find a way to fix it.

    Wherever you installed Steam....\Steam\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\Support\Runtimes
    In that Runtimes folder, run the four vcredist files.
    See if that fixes the problem.

    Because of the second screenshot with the json error, i would suggest to, as first step, let the game create a new player folder with new json files.
    Go to the folder
    Steam\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\UserData
    and rename the folder 'Player' into 'Backup Player'
    then start rfactor 2.
    The game will create a new player folder with all needed files.
    Maybe that helps.

    @Liam Rance Go to rFactor2 root, support/Runtimes folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\Support\Runtimes). Install Runtimes, When you start rFactor2 go to settings > Video Settings > GPU, don`t select AUTO, select your main GFX card.

    You can not have all the runtimes installed when you get error message that you they are missing.
