    When trying to start launch a session (tried several combos of cars and tracks) The "loading" bar is frozen.

    When i tab out I get a dialog box Gmotor error saying "error creating vertex shader" and i have to turn of computer manualy.

    Tried the following to solve the problem:
    1. moving installation to another drive
    2. Making a clean download and install after uinstalling everything
    3. Setting a larger page file in windows
    4. Turning off page file in windows
    5. Installing directx component as discussed in forums.
    6. Uninstalling and reinstalling GPU driver.

    None of the above solutions has solved the problem. :-(
    Looking for a quick fix, since i have already spent amount of time trying to fix this.

    ANy ideas?

    I have a gtx 770 2gb MSI graphics card and windows 10 installed.

    If i alt tab and hold on enter key, it goes through a huge amount of GMOTOR ERROR boxes and at last i can start the game, but with a lot of graphics missing..

    Maybe it is a Problem with your windows user rights, that the shader files can not be written.
    Open the folder ..\Steam\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\UserData\Log\Shaders.
    There should be 106 files, that contain the shader informations.
    If the folder is empty, give your windows user account more rights for the whole rfactor 2 folder.
    Or run the rfactor 2 launcher as administrator.

    In the folder :
    ..\Steam\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\UserData\Log\Shaders.
    81 files are shown.

    I've only tried cars/tracks From ISI or Studio 397

    I've checked that my user has full control for the folder. In fact my user is administrator..

    Just to be clear, you use the DX11 beta, right?

    And just to try it out, start the launcher directly from the Folder
    ..\Steam\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\Launcher
    with a rightclick on it and select run as administrator then.
    Even if windows says that your user account is an admin account, don't trust it.

    And did you ever tried to verify your Files through steam, after the installation?

    Verified files in steam. 1 error found. Did not solve the problem.
    Then i updated to d11 openbeta through steam. That solved the problem!

    As I remember the graphics, I see an improvement, but maybe it is just me.

    Thanks alot. Cant wait for the release of gt3 pack. :)
