    OK so you've opted out of all betas?
    How do you mean "the video settings in the launcher won't load"? What happens ? Does the video settings window open but you can't change anything or it won't open at all?
    What are your system specs? this is always something you should add when you're having issues as it may help shed some light on what may be causing the problem.
    The more information you put in here to describe your problem, the better.

    So you clicked here upload_2020-7-5_11-27-39.png
    Then here
    upload_2020-7-5_11-28-13.png
    If you did then you should get this
    upload_2020-7-5_11-29-53.png
    and there should be an icon in the task bar that looks like the one in the picture. Make sure the setup window is not hiding behind something else on your desktop. Maybe hit alt+tab to see if there is anything in the background if you are on full screen.

    No nothing, windows cursor turns to the blue circle thingy as if its going to load in the normal way but nothing happens.
    I know how its supposed to work as i was using it and was working fine before i went anywhere near public beta.
    Reinstalled 3 times now, made sure all rf2 folders gone from windows each time too, ive tried everything.

    Thanks also for your efforts but again no joy.

    Just to avoid confusion the game is running fine but i cannot access video settings in the launcher.

    Ok im days trying to sort this, nobody else seems to have had this issue from what i can see.
    Countless google searches, post on here, on RD, on steam etc nobody has this issue.

    I have the game little over a week now, why oh why did i touch that public beta to nose at its ui.
    Up to that point it was a fantastic experience.
    Id like to add my PC is very good spec, itys in fantastic condition, i take my pc gaming hobby serious in the sense i really look after my gear and how it runs.
    This is incredibly frustrating.

    And just like that after giving up i had a brainwave,, i thought maybe it was afterburner so messed with its settings, as soon as i turned off stealth mode it worked!

    Hi @Cully , I too have been experiencing the same issue and posted on discord also but had no suuport from the developers. I have yet to fix my issue and I am running a Nvidia graphics card. Do you know what that "stealth mode" does so I can look for the equivalent settings in Nvidia control panel?

    Thanks

    Hi there, I don't believe there is anything similar in nvidia. CP.
    That's a few games now affected by afterburner.
    Do you use any other type if overlay that could be the cause?

    I haven't installed anything personally but that's not to say that I have something running. When it comes to PC software and settings I am clueless tbh. I was getting an error when trying to run the rf config in the bin32 folder which put me in the direction of a directX issue but I have reinstalled that and still not able to open rf config. 0x000007b error.
