been away for a while, have picked up rfactor2 again. i have version 240 and loaded everything on the computer and it worked fine , --- then i updated to 860 and it doesnt launch keeps coming up with window error "cant find or missing MSVCR110.dll' tried a few times same thing. this is a new computer windows 8.1 64bit i5 -4670 cpu 3.40ghz nvidia gtx 970 344.16 have reinstalled the 240 version and runs without a problem. any idea's would be greatly appreciated.
My advice is to install a fresh 860 (build 240 is very old and may be some micro retro-incompatibilies can afflict your rF2), but if you want to try the auto update, read here http://rfactor.net/web/docs/i-get-an-error-about-missing-a-110-dll-file/
Another option is to download the litebuild installer and install it over your working 240 install, but I agree with Max a fresh installation with a new player profile is probably the best way to go. Uwe
thank you for your reply's, i thought about it later and reckoned it maybe a big jump, i'll give your link a read Max and give that a go- if not i'll try from the start with an 860 thanks for the idea's very much appreciated bluey.
what i did was download the 860 lite installer i deleted the 240 and loaded the 860 and all was well!! thank you for your assistance everyone obviously the 240 was to old.
