    After an update of RFactor2 or Windows 10 i get an error while launching the game.
    When i click single player the RF2 logo shows but is followed by this error :

    Config error

    [JSON] failed to perform operation, unsupported type

    What i did to solve it but did not work so far ,

    I deleted my controller json folder, then let steam do a verify integrety of game files
    It just downloaded that folder and got the same error.
    I then uninstalled the full game and let it reinstall it,
    that didn't help either, still get the same error.

    The strange thing is that i raced for the last 3 days in VR with no problems whatsoever.
    I just had to restart my pc and then Windows installed an update and after that steam installed an update of RFactor 2 also so i don't know what is causing this.....

    Any help would be appreciated,

    Greetings Menno

    Can you please make sure you're opted in to 'v1108-dx11-open-beta'

    Hi Christopher ,

    yes , v1108-dx11 - open-beta is opted.
    Are there more JSON files other than the controllers?

    I also checked just now if assetto corsa works , and that gives no problems .

    That was a fast reply ,

    Yes, there is a Player.JSON
    Delete it. Restart game.

    Thx for replying Peterchen but that just worsened the problem...
    I deleted the player json file and restarted the game but now my whole computer restarts after the RFactor2 logo shows....
    I have tried with and without VR checked , also checked and unchecked aggrasive threading..

    So now i dont get the error message, but it simply reboots.

    Any other ideas?

    Solved it seems..

    After a couple of more reboots i checked video settings and saw that ´full screen´ was checked.
    I tried ´windowed´ and it took a while after RFactor2 logo showed but then i was in the menu of the game.

    Deleting Player JSON was solving that error message it seems, and after that i dont´t really know..

    I will reinstall my settings now, all my controls are gone, and see how it goes from here.

    Thx for helping me Christopher and Peterchen,

    Gr. Menno

    Yeah, sorry! I should have warned you to make a save of the old player.json, because of all the setiings you just had to compare then...
