rFactor stopped working

[Yves Larose]

Hi guy's

rFactor was working just fine but yesterday my Windows XP home edition was updated and my pc needed to reboot and after doing so rFactor stopped working. the game wasn't even loading and i wasn't getting any error messages, i then tried to reinstall the game several time but it still refuse to work, sometime the game start loading but it closes when the intro begin or at ISI screen. anyone have any clue what might be the problem ?

Running it in Admin?
Did you maybe install a mod between it working and suddenly dont working?

 

[Yves Larose]

yep running it in admin and no i didn't made a change to the game between the windows update and the reboot, like i said the only change that was made is the Windows update.

This can happend for example when install exe files with mods or track packs .
when klick the uninstall exe to trow the mod or track pack

the mod can include files that is added in the mod track pack and is orginal files like the commonmaps.mas file that is in locations folder that is for some strange idea in many tracks packs so when uninstall a tracks pack it delete the file and rfactor start up but when it shall start loading a track rfactor close and get a say missing commonmaps.mas or some shaders file that is shared between many mods
