My rF2 not working at all !!!
I updated from the Update tab, but I forgot to close the max2.exe from my desktop and the update failed on it.
After this I tried to do the update again, from zero (with the Kart Icon as indicated), and failed again on another item.

So I downloaded the lite version, installed over my installation.
When I launched the Single player, nothing happened, same with the Multiplayer.

So I removed all my directories manually, just preserved the Package folder.
Installed it again over, and no change. Nothing load when I click on Single Player or Multiplayer.
I'm logged in in the Launcher.

I see the rfactor2.exe process few seconds in my task manager, but close after.
Any idea?

So you tried to update with that program running, then you installed the lite version on top, then you removed things manually? I'd reinstall and uninstall everything entirely. Back up your Packages folder, start from scratch because the more layers of things you add on top, the worse it will get.

I updated mine from the Update tab. Ran flawlessly. I don't have early wip stuff installed, my base install was b240, and I keep everything nice and neat. I used to have a couple of vmods installed but they became irrelevant so I uninstalled and deleted them from rF2's Mod handler tab. Literally I've never had a single issue.
 
Update through the automatic update window without any problem! It has been so long since the first build... and AC is about to start pre-ordering process... Come on ISI! I have great trust in you! :cool:
Anyway thanks for this "great stable" build (counter trolling process)! ;)

Autoupdater didn't work for me either but standalone (without any uninstall) worked as always. The fps improvement I get is about 10-30% depending on the track, heavy tracks like Silverstone produce biggest improvement.

In terms of colors there is less of a reddish look now which seems more natural, at least on my monitor.

Havent been able to get it working yet so cant test myself. By the looks of your screens it seems there are no reflections on the car on B298. Is that the case or is it just settings are different on the 2 screens?
 
Hm... I kind of wish HDR colors were not changed. Now from closed cockpits everything is really overbright and has cold colors.
 
I already did a new and fresh installation and every thing went fine!
Now, I have even gained more and more fps!
With the Clio at Silverstone and with every setting on high, 5760*1080p, 16 AI, AA-4, HDR-ON....i HAVE ABOUT 58-76FPS
With HDR OFF I have more fps....62-88fps!
With Mirros Off I have even 10-13 extra fps!
 
GT Club_wajdi - I take it you're not running with multiview enabled?

I did a quick test last night at a couple of circuits and didn't notice any FPS improvements at all although I haven't deleated the cbash folder that I've seen a few others mention. The default Nvidia profile still doesn't work for me and I'm still getting micro stuttering with my modified one, despite FPS generally being above 60. So all in all no change from b240 for me at this stage. May take some time to do single card testing this weekend and try the latest beta drivers, still running 320.18whql.
 
Update didnt work for me, the game wont start. Deleted everything and installed the lite with one mod and 4 tracks just to try out... it worked.

about the fps... i gained ALOT more fps, even with most settings maxed out i always get more than 50 fps on croft and with hdr on. in the past with hdr was like playing a motion "stop game" ;P, and its more smoother.
 
I installed via updater, then intalled SDK didn't remove any stuff beforehand, everything is working OK. I noticed around 10% fps gain, aswell as refelctions and lighting looks different, shows specular a bit better. Works faster, looks better. THANK YOU ISI

Dedicated Server.exe problem..

I've done a complete new install on the Server, Installed ISI content plus a few tracks and 2 mods for the RaceFactor boys. Both work fine on their own, using the ports they were assigned in the multiplayer.ini file, but when I run both together only the 1st one loaded people are able to join, they can't join the other..

It's not a port problem, as I said above they run separately without problems on either of the profiles.. Both server multiplayer.ini files have different port numbers..

Both servers and ports for each of those servers worked fine with the previous build.

Yep, I've had similar issues trying to run multiple instances using several internal builds leading up to this one.

The guys are aware of the issue, currently I think you need a separate installation for each instance and use the +profile command line argument to hard-select a profile.

Sorry I cannot be more specific, but it's something to do with the dedi server always selecting the last profile ports used or summin ;)

well If I need to remove everything in every build... so much testing for nothing. I'll wait for proper fix.

The update ran fine. I used auto update after uninstalling Searpoint and deleting it (if that's even an issue now)

A quick test run didn't show any changes of note. Performance still good although CPU temps are a fraction higher. Strangely, PCARS runs Dx11 graphics cooler than rf2 Dx9.

Thanks for the update ISI.
 
Bad work ISI, rFactor2 CONTENT SAMPLER Build 298 is not starting. Very nice work for the biuld :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
And i can´t not rF2 Activate.nice work
 
Just a quick test. Autoupdate went off fine. Installed straight over a clean ISI based build without major changes or mods installed. The bad, no FPS gain with CF on triple. It's the opposite for me. I started the sim with the same settings and combo and the result is loosing ~10-15 FPS with lots of micro stutter on Mores.

Hello

I bring you some information about the crash

Some mods are crashing rFactor2.
StearPointRWv1.35, National Stock car, Lexus.
These guys XP.
Under 64-bit Windows 7
For now just StearPointRW1.35
 
On my side, everything went well. Just moved important files like controller setups, plugins etc. to a safe place and uninstalled the game with deleting every folder that remained. Then I installed the lite version and pointed the mod installer to my packages folder, installing all the mods I needed.

Game runs smoothly, I keep noticing subtle changes in the FFB - real or imagination?!

A big THANKS to the devs! :)
 
Did an auto update, it installed just fine. Now launcher starts, remembers my crediantials (it didnt before, I wasnt using fixed exe) but when i click single or multiplayer player game doesnt start. It just get killed in processes when i have a look in Task Manager. Also a lot of files fail to verify.

Removed SearsPoint, dont have any other reported files/mods.

Also noticed some of the mods are now red-colored in mod manager, saying "cmp rfactor2 UI v1.0d not found"
