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

Everything was fine the first day, but than your update was installed i guess and it hangs up after full progress bar before the track should load up. Seems like an old rFactor-problem by the way and rF2 hangs up on the same spot now. WTF?

GFX 770 with 4k Samsung display running 1080p. Tried old graphics driver, different Nvidia control settings, fresh installation, all kinds of graphics settings, but all with the same outcome.

 

I have the same problem. After updating right now,I could only go up to the pic below and nothing. I did notice that there was kind of lag somewhere, those yellow pirelli flags were moving in slow motion. Just deleted content and re-installing everything. Btw, the beta works fine its only the AMS early access.
i7 4790k, 4.0 / gtx 970 / 8gb ram

 

Sorry but no"edit" button. After deleting content file from steam and all folders relating to AMS on my pc and doing fresh install it's working again. The only thing is, the graphic settings that was working good for me before is not anymore. Need to do some test adjustments again.

 

I tried already a full reinstall with trashing the folder before installation. Today i tried a tool which deleted the full graphics driver to get a fresh installation without any success. But the game hangs up already just before showing this screen and this blue courser-circle (Quicktime?) appears after a while.

 

What's your gpu driver version? I read on RD the current one doesn't work with a lot of games so they all reverted to 362.xxx which is what I'm using. I even got my preffered settings back.

 

Problem solved
I somehow tried the recovery one more time and recognized, i forgot to click on the checkbox for showing up older backups. And there it was: the recovery file from the 2nd of march made before the Windows update. So it seems that Microsoft caused this problem

 

Since I got the beta, I can't play the game. First I forgot to delete the files of SCE beta, so I completely deleted the folder and reinstalled the game (fresh installation). But then the game crashes after the loading screen after selecting a car and a track. The same happens with non-beta AMS. Sometimes it crashes before the Reiza logo, and then I try again and it lets me enter the game, but it crashes after the loading screen.

And I don't know why, but last night I tried to launch AMS beta to see if the new update solved the problem and the game worked (I could drive the cars), but I tried it again today and it keeps crashing after the loading screen.

I remember seeing in the RD forums that there was a problem with MSI Afterburner, and that the Custom Direct3D Support option had to be disabled. But I've always had that option disabled for Afterburner.

I have all the drivers updated, and I haven't installed any mods.

And if you disable MSI Afterburner completely?

 

It keeps crashing after the loading screen on both games (beta and early access)

 

For other people, MSI Gaming App was causing the game to crash.

 

I am still unable to launch several games after the latest nvidia update including Automobilista.
Ive contacted nvidia support and they cant figure it out?
updated bios, ran updates in ms, uninstalled/ reinstalled 10 different drivers using DDU and clean installs, checked for viruses, ran sfc/scannow with no issues, uninstalled/reinstalled the game, ran stability check on the gpu....basically out of ideas now

 

I have a problem. When i start Automobilista, then i click in somewhere, Automobilista just close with no message of any error, it just close. I try to validate files by steam, but still it does not work. This only ocurred after the new update. So... how do i fix it??
I didnt try to reinstall this game, because its so big, and my internet is not so good

In the first post we ask for certain details, I'm afraid, if you don't share those, it's impossible to help.

 

If by chance you have an xbox1 controller plugged in, unplug it. I was getting black screens at launch with several games till I figured it out. There was a Microsoft update released the day after that bored something up in windows

 

After last update, whenever I try to start Automobilista, I get the following screen, regardless if I try to start the game or the config tool (inside or outside steam):


Also, I'm using the nVidia driver version 364.51, and since Í don't use UAC, Automobilista shouldn't try to find config.ini inside my documents folder instead of the install folder under steam.
How to avoid this?

NVM, solved. There was a nvd3dumx.dll from an older video driver inside the Automobilista folder (allowing clamp). Got a new version and everything is fine (forgot about this).

 

Game CTD when trying to load circuit (I get stuck at LOD screen)

I'm running a championship mode with the Stockcars and I've come to round 7 at Cascavel. When I continue my season and it loads the track, as soon as the bar is full, it CTD. I can run the cars&track combo in a single race session just fine, I just can't continue with the season. I started it before the recent update and it has worked fine after (I moved my files across to the new location to continue).

Specs:
Windows 7 SP1 64-bit

Running the Game with most graphic settings at full.

Log file attached.

If you need me to provide more info/details, let me know

Thanks

I`m running the latest EA version and I'm experiencing one of those "crash to desktop, no explanation given" crashes. The game simply closes after a few seconds. Sometimes I can reach a menu, sometimes not even that much.This has happened to me intermittently since GSC days, but usually restarting windows would get it back working (interestingly, I had the same bug on my laptop).

This time, tho, I'm just getting nothing. After installing automobilista, I was able to load a pratice session once, and never again. Even restarting won't fix it. Tried checking files too, to no avail. I've added the -trace=2 command line to steam and tried several times, but I have no \Log directory inside my UserData (the only folder inside is \Controllers)

So, yea, I´m locked out of the game atm.

By the way I'm on an i7 4770k, 16gb ram, nvidia gtx970, win8.1 64bit.

 

@Takfar are you running as an administrator? Are you using any mods or did you copied any previous player settings to your profile folder?
