Automobilista crashing to desktop when trying to load track and car

[Lesthegringo]

It was working fine earlier today, but suddenly every time you do to drive, when you have the screen showing the track and the progress bar, once it gets to the end, it just junks out to desktop. I tried different cars and different tracks, no difference

Anyone seen this before, or know what this glitch is?

What graphics settings are you using? AMS can run out of memory of the settings you are using are too high. If not, verify your local files on Steam. Have you downloaded any new mods recently? That is most likely the cause. AMS has stopped working for me in the past and it's usually a mod that had installed an extra file that causes a conflict with your other mods.

 

[Lesthegringo]

No, no mods recently, but let me go and have a look at the graphics settings - though why that would have changed from this morning to this afternoon is beyond me. Mind you, I've had more bizarre things happen on the PC!

Guys, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game and it continues the same - there have been no hardware changes between it working in the morning and stopping working in the afternoon. Currently I have a dead game, is there anyone who can suggest anything?

I'd remove all your mods too. Uninstall again and all remaining folders and files manually remove those. Then install again.

Try disabling your antivirus. I had a league driver with a similar issue.

Also it would be best to look and post in the Reiza forums rather than at RD.

This is the best place to start:

"I can´t run Automobilista" - Official troubleshooting topic

Firstly let's try some basic troubleshooting to solve the issue. a) Run a Steam Integrity Check (right-click AMS in your Steam Library -> Properties...

i load AMS these days from my GPU control panel (RX580)
otherwhise it crash to desktop even with the troubleshooting from Reiza

 

[Dethrone1427]

So any update? Was it firewall? Anti virus? Errant mod file?

 

[Lesthegringo]

Sorry for delaying, had to get some other bits and bobs out of the way first

Firstly, I ran the game using only Reiza cars and Reiza tracks, to check that a modded file didn't cause it ( I remember that from rFactor days) with no difference. Then I tried to lower the game specs in the configuration file, no help

I want to try the following "Run the game using the '-trace=2' command option through steam. This will produce a log in UserData\Log\trace.tx " but my knowledge of the system is not good enough, is there a more prescriptive description of how to do this? (remember my age, at 53 I'm not so hot on all this)

Cheers

@Lesthegringo
1.open steam and right click Automobilista and select "Properties"
2. when the properties window open you ll see the Tabs, the first one is the "General"
3.at the mid of tab is says "SET LAUNCH OPTIONS", just click on it and enter any command option they told you

Great, many thanks - let me give that a go and see what goes

Guys, I went back to this today, as I hadn't had chance to get near my rig before now. I did the -trace=2 thing, started the game up.... and bugger me if it is all just working fine now! I did nothing, other than put that -trace=2 thing in

I'm happy it's working but perplexed as usual as to why these bizarre things happen....

Anyway, many thanks for your attention and assistance

Hi, can you please share the command line you entered in the launch action

 

[Lesthegringo]

Quoting Mesfigas a bit further up the thread, this is teh set of instructions I followed

1. open steam and right click Automobilista and select "Properties"
2. when the properties window open you ll see the Tabs, the first one is the "General"
3. at the mid of tab is says "SET LAUNCH OPTIONS", just click on it and enter any command option they told you (at that point type in -trace=2 )

Cheers
