Hello everybody! I have a problem with my rFactor 2 install... It crashes most of the time when I'm in the loading screen when the loading bar at the bottom is full. The mouse cursor appears but the screens becomes black for a few seconds and windows says rFactor stopped working. For some reason, this just happens with some track/vehicle combination, e.g. Lola T280 with Le Mans works fine while ISI content like Formula 2 w/ Malaysia or Silverstone crashes. I already reinstalled rFactor 2 and tried it without any mods, but still the same. That's the trace: Code: TRACE LEVEL = 100 tracelog.cpp 139: Command line: "+path=".." +hash=####HIDDEN#### trace=100" main.cpp 235: FPU=0x0009001f game.cpp 1706: Entered Game::Enter() osman.cpp 727:

It seems like rFactor can't find Malaysia. I already deinstalled and reinstalled the track, but no success yet Maybe some of you guys can help me cheers!
I would suggest a clean install following the instructions below thoroughly to rule out any corrupt files or mixed file versions. To create a clean install of rfactor2: Uninstall rfactor2 using the uninstall feature. Delete the entire rfactor2 installation folder, and any rfactor2 related folder in your My Documents folder (to remove any user data files). Next, delete the local license file: Navigate to your “C:\Users\<Your Windows Username here>\AppData\Roaming\.rFactor” folder and delete the files within (you can type this in your Windows Explorer address bar or navigate to it by first disabling “Hide system files and folders” in your folder settings (see windows documentation for more info)). Make sure you have downloaded the most recent build of rfactor2 from the appropriate downloads page of rfactor.net and install it into a new clean folder. For rfactor2, using the Content Installer download is best because you can then test the game with minimal content. Since you’ve deleted the license file in a previous step, you’ll need to reactivate your game. For rfactor2, run the launcher, select the Purchase tab, then select Reactivate. Run rfactor2 with the minimum content and with NO 3rd party community created mods/addons/plugins (content you’ve downloaded elsewhere) and troubleshoot any issues with limited content. Once you confirm the game is working fine, you can download additional content from the rf2 downloads page at rfactor.net
Ah ok, I didn't gelete the local license files last time I reinstalled rFactor! And now it seems to work so far... I'll add some ISI content, step by step, and check after each Mod if it still works. If I find a Mod that causes this, I'll report it back. Thank you!
I suggest not installing any mod for now, just official ISI content. I had a similar problem last week.
Same here... I never experience this before build (342). (I always delete all the core folders plus the add on locations - and do a clean install of mods for every build) It doesn't mater if I am loading ISI content or just addons... I crash at least once or twice a day. Loading an ISI track with ISI cars only the program still crash's sometimes(haven't paid attention to see what combination does this.). BTW where do you find the error report?
Once they've been installed, they change things that corrupt ISI stuff. You have to uninstall and erase everything and start by installing all the ISI stuff only.
I think that it's just related to upgrade files... If you got an "x".ini it will load specific car upgrade for this "x" track. GPC modding team GP79 files used this trick to force chassis upgrade on specific track. svm is setup ??? can't remember !!!
