Hi all, I have bought my rFactor from internet 3-4 months ago. When I try to enter the game for the first time after I install, it works fine. But after I want to enter the game again, (Sometimes at 3rd or 4th time, etc.) it does not work. I click to shortcut or main exe file, there is nothing to happen. I can not enter the game.
I have been searching about this problem for 3 months but there is no solution. I do not use a program that can block the game, such as anti-virus programs. I use XP Service Pack 2 Build 2600.
Please help me!

Thanks for reply, but I have tried it. I downloaded v1.255 as a update but same problem happened. Then I installed the full game (v1.255), but same problem continued again.
I think something breaks my rFactor.exe file in my computer. Because I can play the game after I install it, then after some minutes I can not enter the game again.

Hello I and others had a similar problem. Check your time and date on your comp. A friend was also having this prob even though his time & date was right he advanced it one month and RF started right up then he move the month back and RF was fine.

I will try this "time-date trick". I want help if this won't solve my problem. Thanks to all of you.

Hello Well I hoped it would be a easy solution. Sorry it did not work.
You say you can not enter the game. This could have a couple of meanings
Are saying it will not start up at all Example: You click the RF EXE and it do's nothing or You click the RF exe and it starts up shows you the Screens but you can not open a server or get in to one.?
You say you have no Firewall or virus protection but you do know that Win XP has a built in firewall. And you will have to go to Windows firewall and give Rfactor access to the internet. If it is being blocked it will not work.
I am unclear Do's it work before you install the patch and then after the patch it do's not work. Are you installing anything else and are you sure you have the patch installed right It has been awhile since I installed the patch but I seem to remember that it over writes your original RF exe.

I do not see a screen when I click to exe. I just click and it does nothing.
Also I know that XP has a firewall. But I tried to give rFactor access.
I realized that this problem is not about patches or mods which I download. Because today I installed the game (v1.255) then I did not download any thing such as mods, cars, etc. Then at first I could enter, but after some minutes passed I couldn't enter again.

To me it seems as though it is not original rFactor :S. There are such problems in the illigeal versions of rFactor. If this is the case buy the game if not What graphic card do you have? And once you have DirectX9.0c installed in your computer? Tell us some specifications about your PC.

It is of course original rFactor. I also wanted help from rFactor site by giving my activation code and my IMAxxxx, but their advices did not solve the problem. They told about anti-virus programs. But I do not use anti-virus programs.

Hello Well my Specs on my comp are less and it runs Rfactor very well. If it starts up and runs and then it won't makes no sense.
When you say after a few minutes it won't work Is it closing/Shutting down or Are you shutting it down then in a few minutes restarting it and it do's not start up again.
sorry if I sound confused with this It just do's not make sense.
the only thing I can think of you in fact have a virus of some kind blocking internet accsess. And since RF needs internet access to start up this is giving you the problem.
To check and see if it is a inter net connection problem Disconnect your comp from the internet and click the exe and see if it starts up.
By the way are you on Cable or DSL or 56K dial up If you are on dial up connect to the internet before starting Rfactor.
If RFactor is shutting down durring play your comp might be getting hot or your graphic card is failing.

It doesn't shut down, I quit game. Some minutes after I quit, I want to enter the game again, but it does not work.
There is no spyware or virus in my PC, because I reformatted because of this game's problem.
I use DSL connection.

Does any of these programs block ?
And, Can my Mainboard's drivers break it ?

Hello Well none of what you have listed (As far as I can tell) would block internet access. So I am really at a loss Although I still feel it is a internet prob.
Are you behind a router by any chance (there could be a problem there. when RF won't start can you still log in to a web site.
I do not know this software AirTies ADSL (This is my modem's software) But any chance it is timing out the connection or blocking some how.
