    Hi,
    Since the last build update, always I click on "single player" or "online race" I get this error message (http://i57.tinypic.com/de30pc.png). If I click on "yes" I can play as always, but want to know if I'm doing something wrong and if it's related to a low performance (and how to solve it if it's possible). These are my PC specs: [​IMG] (plus 8 GB RAM)

    Thanks in advance :)

    rF2 thinks your video card only has 465mb vram which is below the minimum threshold. I am no hardware guru but google says your card should have 1gb vram so there is something wrong. Please install GPU-Z and make a screenshot of the "Graphics Card" tab:

    It should report 1GB vram and if it does I would send an email to support@rfactor.net.

    Are you using beta drivers? Usually the reporting is done by Windows and we read what Windows says when detecting. That usually doesn't mean it won't use more. In most cases, just clicking yes (si) and carrying on is OK, but I understand that would be annoying, so feel free to email support.

    I'm using drivers 14.9 (latest official drivers). I just wonder if that message is shown because my graphic card is not in full performace.

    Why people run files from C drive I will never ever understand , sorry.

    The same thing happens in any number of 3dconfig sims if you say " Yes"

    Delete the config. ini

    DO NOT click on Configure Sim :rolleyes: hehehe

    1. Start Offline Mode
    2. Click Settings
    3. Click Resolution
    4. Set resolution and refresh rate and disable the rest.
    5. Test

    Never use 3dconfig always make changes within the settings menu ;)

    Not saying it will solve your issue but it can't hurt.

    Maybe try the beta driver?
    http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMDCatalyst14-9-1BetaWINReleaseNotes.aspx

    AMD Catalyst™ 14.9.1 Beta Driver for Windows®
    Due to a small number of isolated usability issues in last week's AMD Catalyst™ 14.9 driver that were reported by end users, we are providing an updated driver that addresses those usability issues. If you are not facing any problems we recommend you continue to use the latest AMD Catalyst™ 14.9 driver

    Try deleting the Config.ini file in \rFactor2\UserData folder. It will rebuild if the game loads.
