id love to see the changes myself but since updating to the latest build i can no longer even launch the damn thing, just drops to desktop after it tries to fire up.....any ideas on what my problem might be? i updated using the games built in updater as ive done in the past, tried restarting the pc but still the same problem where the game simply drops back to desktop upon starting...

Can you run the config?

Can you run the config?

yeah the config is showing the usual settings that i normally run

edit: got it working by setting the resolution to 800x600, once i got into the game i was able to turn the resolution back up but now i get a strange crash to desktop whenever i alter video settings, luckily the settings are saved when i restart rf2, im thinking a nice clean install might be in order as something is obviously not happy. On a side note the game seems to be running better than ever for me, getting 120-160fps with all settings on max and in game aliasing set to 8, also think my micro stutters have gone with the latest build

It always crashes for me when I change car on the server then click "race", done it 3 times in a row.
