it loads up about 750mb to memory. then just "shuts down" rfactor2.exe and this is the last bit in trace file: Code: 45.20s setup.cpp 3665: Set veh file filter * 70 null 0 null 45.21s setup.cpp 3665: Set veh file filter * 70 IDEC Motorsport 0 null 54.09s plrfile.cpp 1987: Attempting to save to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\UserData\player\player.TMP 54.21s plrfile.cpp 2011: Retcode: 0 for renaming to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\UserData\player\player.JSON 54.21s game.cpp 1777: Real time logging initialized 54.21s PluginManage 390: Analyzing plugin "KnockoutQualifying.dll" 54.23s PluginManage 417: Successfully loaded plugin "KnockoutQualifying.dll" 54.23s PluginManage 390: Analyzing plugin "rFactor2SharedMemoryMapPlugin64.dll" 54.23s PluginManage 417: Successfully loaded plugin "rFactor2SharedMemoryMapPlugin64.dll" 54.23s PluginManage 390: Analyzing plugin "StockCarRules.dll" 54.25s PluginManage 417: Successfully loaded plugin "StockCarRules.dll" 54.25s PluginManage 390: Analyzing plugin "TrackIR_rF2_Plugin.dll" 54.26s PluginManage 417: Successfully loaded plugin "TrackIR_rF2_Plugin.dll" Played last night no problems. clean shutdown, and now it wont open. I have tried verifying files in steam.
Reinstall all 4 files in the Support\Runtimes folder (Run each one, select repair or install). After that, do the same with the x64 and x86 from this page: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist
just tried re installing all these and rebooted, but still crashing to desktop without giving any errors.
tried renaming my player folder, and that worked... but how do I then identify what is corrupted? or how do I rebuild my player folder without starting all over?
Solved... I narrowed it down to find an error in my player folder, in the file "CustomPluginVariables.JSON" when replaced this (with a new file from an autogenerated player folder) into my old player folder it worked again.
