    Hi - rFactor 2 doesn't start for me through Steam. I've been trying to get it working for the last 2 weeks without success. When I click the green 'Play' button on Steam, the rF2 load screen appears for 1-2 seconds then disappears and the green 'Play' button comes back as if the game stopped running. I have set the graphics to my graphic card and not auto, uninstalled/installed the games a few times now, subscribed to 2 cars and 2 tracks in the workshop, run the support/runtime processes. None of it works. Anyone experiencing the same thing?

    I made a trace file which yields this:

    Tried a fresh Userdata yet? Just rename the existing one, the game will create a new one.

    I tried that already, yes. Renamed the Userdata folder to 'Userdata v2', the game created a new one but still doesn't work.

    @simonb28 Did you check the Folders
    ...\rFactor 2\Installed\Vehicles
    and
    ....\rFactor 2\Installed\Locations
    if they have Subfolders with the Cars and Tracks?
    At least it looks as if you maybe only have the Corvette Pace Car installed.

    EDIT Also check the Folder
    ..\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\365960
    if that contains Subfolders

    I actually don't have the folder \rFactor 2\Installed\Locations. I do have the folder \rFactor 2\Installed\Vehicles with the Corvette pace car only. And I also have 1 track and 1 vehicle in the folder \Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\365960. Does that mean I'm missing the Locations folder? Could that be causing the issue?

    Yes, there seems to be a Problem.
    Add a "Locations" Subfolder manually to the ..Installed Folder.
    Then check the S397 Wokshop if you are suscribed to all Content.
    Then start the Game again.
    If that still doesn't work, make a Steam File Integrity Check of the Game.
    If that also won't work, try it with running Steam and/or rFactor 2 as an Administrator.

    BTW Did you ever have the rFactor 2 Demo installed?
