    Recently (from about 1 month ago), I often play rF2 shutting down after 100 minutes.
    This shutting down occurs suddenly as in this video.

    Watch 1:46:50~

    I already reinstalled rF2.
    I created new player.json, controller.ini.
    But again today.

    What shuold I do?

    @yashiman have you had this happen with no third party plugins running?

    Thank you for your response.

    I actually thought the same as you at first.

    I have also used Simhub about a month ago.
    In this case, I had the same problem.
    So I turned off Simhub, but it did not fix it.
    Now I am using Tinypedal and the same phenomenon.

    Otherwise, I use Crewchief and rF2Headlihgt.
    I will try these in the future.

    I would disable ALL 3rd party plugins. If it happens (once, twice if you have that much patience) again at the 110 minute mark, you've basically proved none of them are a problem. Trying combinations of active plugins doesn't lead anywhere fast.

    One of the racer in our league also had crazy amount random crash a few months ago. We tried a lot things such as disable replay, disable instant auto replay, change network, make a clean userdata, etc. But none of these helped.

    And from the last discussion, we talked one possibility that virtual ram(page file) maybe set too low which could cause unwanted problem, and the guy confirmed that he had changed vram size before. But then never got reply from him again, so not sure whether this would work. Maybe worth checking.

    @Lazza @svictor
    Thanks for the advice.


    1:44:50~

    I tried to turn off all plugins today, But did not fix it.
    I will remove all plugin files, and increase virtual ram tomorrow.

    This is Windows11 case and Japanese OS.

    Open the system properties and open the performance setup.
    So, You can find the virtual ram.
    I set the default setting to the recommended value and the maximum setting to twice that.

    Yesterday I had a problem solved with this setup. (No problem for more than 2 hours.)
    I will see how it goes with this setup today and tomorrow.

    I don't know if it's the same, after one or two races with the AI, I have low fps, like a very high RAM usage, it's fixed if I restart rFactor2.
    First time I have this issue.

    Today's report.

    I tried to use plugins today.
    The virtual ram is as yesterday.

    I played multi race and single practice.
    My PC shut down after 105 minutes today.


    1:44:20~
    When I checked the trace log, it looked different than usual.

    I will try the same tomorrow.

    Have you tried to play other online games to see if you can exceed the roughly 100 minute window? Almost sounds like some setting in your router or your internet provider itself that is cutting the connection.

    You computer is shutting down? You could check the event viewer if there is any messages. In general, forced shutdowns during execution of 3D applications can be a insufficient power supply.

    I have also this problem from 1-2 weeks I think. Sometimes rfactor2 starts normally at 116fps (capped), but many others i have the half fps. Restart the game and problem solved.

    In my case, 100min. issue has only rF2.
    ARMA3 and ATS didnot shutt down. (online and offline)
