I just got this game. When it works it is a nice challenge since i use a controller. The problem is that this game crashes a lot when you start it. Once it starts working it is fine, but before that i have to cycle through the launch screen and a frozen menu screen about 30 to 40 times. Its come to a point that before i want to play i will watch Youtube for like anywhere from the 2nd or 3rd try to 30 mins trying to get the game to run. I have only played one track and a few cars since it is a lot worse when it is trying to load assets its never used before. I know it could be cause my computer is a potato but when it runs it runs fine and is fun. My computer also meets the system requirements (Not sure but most likely the recommended requirements as well. i don't know where to post this as i have gone down a rabbit hole of contact support buttons and I am not good with forums. If anyone has solutions to make this problem better please let me know and if by chance a dev sees this HELP.
Unfortunately the required specs listed on steam are horribly out of date, the game was initially released in 2013 but is under constant development and should be seen as a current release - meaning a brand new pc will run it very well generally, older will be worse. It sounds like your pc is struggling with it indeed. @Marcel Offermans can the steam info be updated?
