You found it so perform the verify.Can not find where to verify files . found verify intregrity of game files.
So it sounds like you have been using the Opt-in Beta since it was released 2 1/2 months ago and have never been happy with it yet kept using it instead of simply Opting out of all betas.Since the beta update of the new menus rf2 takes forever to start up. Forever to load cars/tracks to the point where I'm on the verge of uninstalling it because I've had nothing but rubbish experiences with the sim since day 1.
This one did the trick for me, thanks a lot.Rename your UserData file to UserData_1. Then go into Steam, right click on rF2 and verify files.
On first load again, it will take a while to build all the necessary files, but after that it should be better.
This has fixed the loading times for me. Mine was taking so long to do the initial game load, and load to track (2-3 mins each time) that I actually installed a chess app to play while I was waiting. Its now completely fixed and down to 30 seconds ish which a massive improvement.
