    Hi everyone...

    Hope someone can shed light on this.

    Yesterday I uninstalled the RF2 game, and today did a totally clean, empty folder re-install. After many hours, it is up and running but the DevMode will not boot no matter what I do.

    Currently I am running v1120 with the old UI and normally it works, but now I click and it disappears like it is going to go into DevMode...then goes back to the selection screen.

    I have no idea what to do, even clicking directly on the file it will not boot. I am troubleshooting a project and now all that is halted.

    Mike

    Have you tried making a direct shortcut icon to devmode?
    Im running the new UI so I use a direct shortcut.

    copy shortcut and rename it.
    change destination to:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\Bin64\rFactor2 Mod Mode.exe"

    and start in, to:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\"


    some times I have to open it twice before it opens in dev mode with old UI.

    Hey Thomas,

    Thanks for that. I finally got it to work using the method you showed.

    So the Mod Mode does now not work via the old launcher either by the look of it....

    Thanks heaps!! :D:D
