Hmm was just doing a few laps offline and center monitor blacked out and showing no signal and then other two screens greyed out. rF2 still running in the background but PC not responding crtl - alt - delete did nothing. Gave it a few mins and even Crew Chief shut up (must be bad!) Had no choice but to restart PC and steam is telling me I don't have rF2 installed on this PC and is suggesting to install it?
Odd and a PITA but not a lot I can do other than reinstall it?

Can you not try verifying the install through Steam first?

That's where I went first but it's greyed out and not an option? Steam doesn't recognise it's even there?

Profile? It sounds odd. Like Steam has lost your install Directory, so it can't find the local files to verify.

On Friday night, rFactor2 crashed on me. It would not restart in VR mode, and as my triple screen set up is missing a screen due to home working requirements, I could not get it fixed quickly enough to rejoin. I have been struggling to get it fixed. I removed the Oculus software and reinstalled it. No change. I removed Steam VR and reinstalled it. No change. I verified the rFactor 2 game files. It still would not work.
I eventually fixed it by uninstalling rFactor 2, and reinstalling it, including about 130 workshop items. That took quite a bit of time on my 20 Mb/s connection with my wife and daughter both streaming video. It is fixed now.

That's a shitty way to get a fix, but I'm glad it's fixed now.

Andrew had issues as well, he had to bail after it crashed for the second time in the second race . I blame Scoops, ever since he mentioned switching, he’s jinxed it

I never mentioned switching wholesale I want to race Caterhams and AMS2 would be really good for that👍🏻. Anything else is a bonus.
AMS2 is VR ready out of the bag where as rF2 has needed to be tweaked to get there......🤔
Have I mentioned AMS2 has several Caterham models? They are really very good and only £25 at the minute that’s excellent value😄 I may get a chance to go on tonight so if any one wants to try AMS2 I’ll have a go at putting up a server? After all to quote “Wrighty you can’t take it with you”

Quite a few of us (about six) Racing tonight with the Grumpy Old Men (how apt I hear you say ). Never about money, paid £9.60 last night for the 2018 LeMans track in rF2. Had no issue, as we will be racing there in June (24hr). I’ll buy Automobilista 2 if we race it, but don’t need it at the minute as I have enough Sim stuff going on

Bu**er!
I left my PC powered on last night, doing some “folding at home“ for COVID-19. Woke to a blank monitor and it won’t power up. There was a storm last night, don’t know if that was just coincidental or not, or if it was linked to my trouble last Friday.
Nothing on the screen.
Now begins the process of troubleshooting to find out which bit has died, and plan for an enforced upgrade. Needless to say that I won’t be racing tomorrow night, unless there is a miracle.

Bu**er. It’s the Mobo. No CPU fault light on, but it won’t boot with a minimal install, and I have a flashing DRAM LED.

Kev, I’ve no idea what you are talking about but it doesn’t sound good. Hope it’s not to difficult to rectify.
