Latest update is causing a crash to desktop

Denis Betty · Dec 22, 2020

Anybodby found a solution to this? The new UI is now default but the game doesn't load for me and several others over at S397 forum. If I revert to the old UI build everything seems fine. Anybody found the cure for this yet?

Single player still works okay for me

I wish ISI had finished rF2 5 years ago
This new UI is pitiful

how am I supposed to add MY NEW server ?

Thanks to Lazza over at S397 forum. I removed my User Data folder and ran Verify file integrity.
Fixed the crash, but now I have some work to do.

Same issue here, tried your fix, bit this didn't work for me. Completely fresh install, had to re-enter name and nickname as well...but still crashes on start up.
Screen goes white, i see the mouse pointer with the z's next to it then back to desktop. dev mode seems to work though ..

Yep, bought rF2 today on steam, entered name and nickname but crashes to desktop after that. Have reverted to the old UI and things seem to be moving.

Same for me.

So far the Rfactor2 experience is pretty bad, how can you release something like that, does S397 not have any quality control?

This is a real mess. I have one track and one car from my last race before the new UI. How do you fix this mess?

Hi all, and update on my situation, I just tried again now , didn't make any further changes and there was a 27mb download and now rfactor2 is loading. Will advise if any other issues once I've had a play

.. apparently a hotfix was released !!

To start in old UI open steam, find Rf2 in your library, right click and go to properties, then click on beta on the left hand side, click on the dropdown box on the right and it should list all beta's old UI being one of them. Hope you get it sorted

That's great thank you... I don't want to be a Luddite but why did it need changing? Just because it can be changed??
