rFactor Crashing

[Samwit]

Basically on my new PC I can load rFactor up, but when I want to race in any of the F1 or F2 online/offline the game just crashes.

 

Can anybody tell me why, or give solutions?

What operating system are you running?

 

Do other games/mods run OK?

I think it could be the tracks, as when I first loaded rFactor and used one of the original mods on an original track it worked, but if I try the same mod on one of the Ovals it crashes.

I'd suggest starting from scratch.

 

Uninstall rfactor and then delete the rfactor directory from program files if is hasn't gone already.

 

Then reinstall it and check it works in it's non-modded form.

 

Copy this to something like c:\rfactor\backups\original

 

Then, add one mod and check it works.

 

Copy this to something like c:\rfactor\backups\original_with_f1

 

Then, add a track and see if that works...

 

Backup..

 

Add a mod. Try the track(s)

 

Backup

 

Add another track. Try it in both mods.

 

Backup..

 

etc.

 

Tedious, I know, but you'll find out what breaks it.

 

Out of interest, which mod have you installed first and which track(s) ?

 

Is it Windows 7/8 too? If Win 8, i think people have reported issues. Either way, try running the program in "administrator mode"

Ok, i'll try that. I'm running on Win 8 too.
