trace log for rF.

[Stu]

is there a trace log to work out why my rF has given me a black screen after the start up video?

[IMSA GTP]

rFactor\rFactor.exe trace=100

Add the "trace=100" after the line used in the shortcut.

Right Click on the shortcut, select properties, on the shortcut tab the target line....

Someone released something like that over on RFC the other day.

Hey guys, could you help me to find the solution to my problem? rFactor always kicks me to the desktop, when I load to a track. No matter wich mod or track, it´s always the same :/

This is the tracefile:

I would start by creating a copy of the .plr file (save as .PLAYER) and looking through it line by line to see if there are any conflicts with any lines in the mod. I don't see an obvious problem, but someone else may.

[FestaPWR]

I reckon the last mod you used has a problem, and seeing as the PLR stores info about which mod was run last, it may be crashing rF.

Open your PLR file and edit the following lines;

Scene File="GAMEDATA\LOCATIONS\CroftCircuit\CroftBTCC\CroftBTC C.SCN"
Scene Description="CroftBTCC"
AI Database File="GAMEDATA\LOCATIONS\CroftCircuit\CroftBTCC\CroftBTC C.AIW"

[ DRIVER ]
RaceCast Email="" // The email you are registered with on racecast.rfactor.net
RaceCast Password="" // Your password on racecast.rfactor.net
Vehicle File="GAMEDATA\VEHICLES\ZR\SRGP\TEAM_GREEN\GRN_08.VEH"
Team="ZR Racing Team Green"
Original Driver="Buster Timms"
Nationality="English"
Birth Date="22 April 1981"
Location="UK"
Game Description="SRGrandPrix05.rfm"

Delete the bits in red that would be in your PLR file. I dont know if its important or not, but keep the quotations in. I know the top few lines relate to the last track used, but it doesn`t hurt to be thurough.

Example being the top line. It would read;

Scene File=""

EDIT: Doh! I just read your post properly and it seems this may not help you.

Your best bet might be to make a new user, and copy the new PLR file over to your name. If the game then works, you know your old PLR file is corrupt.
You`ll lose all your settings, so keep your old one as a back-up. Then start re-entering your game, FFB, graphics settings etc bit by bit. Keep checking the game now and then incase something you copy over has fluffed the new PLR file up. At least then you`ll know what has done it.

Many thanks to both of you

I will checkit out and try it as you said
