    Since a couple of days, I have a similar problem to berheavedtripod8. The game does not boot. Only difference is after the game logo shows up, I don't get a black screen. Also, I can't open the configuration tool.

    What I tried to fix it:
    • delete all mods
    • delete documents folder
    • integrity checks on steam
    • clean reinstall
    • start game with admin rights
    • disable antivirus software
    The trace command produces the attached trace.txt.

    My specs:
    Intel i5-3330
    GeForce GTX770
    16gb DDR

    Hi the game crashes on entering the Video Manager.

    I would suggest to check your graphics control panel settings for the game, drivers and also try a clean boot with no other services running which may interfere with the game causing it to crash.

    @berheavedtripod8 we need you to manage to get the trace.txt, Thanks

    haha nice one, deleting d3d9.dll solved the problem. Thank you!
    Wonder why the clean install didn't produce the same effect, but anyway!

    The chances are you have some other program writing a graphical overlay which causes an issue with the d3d9.dll

    The only trace file I have is RaceCastTrace.txt, which contains one line:
    Code:
    RaceCastTrace
    
    Does -trace=2 only work on the Automobilista Beta listing in Steam, or for both?

    Having similar issue to others. Game goes to the little launch screen in the middle of the screen and then says syncing and then nothing on Steam. Here's my trace.txt file. I've tried virtually everything on the forums, reinstalling, deleting PLR file, permissions, compatability mode, even tried one of the old versions of the beta in Steam but nothing works.

    A bit of a weird one here. The Stock Car causes a CTD but no other car. When I load a race with the Stock Car I receive a "Automobilista has stopped working" windows message. All other cars including Cart Extreme and Patrick G's tracks work without a hitch.

    Hey!

    Lately, I've been getting, what I think are, display driver crashes.

    I'd be driving around and all of a sudden the screen will go black or grey for a couple seconds, then return to the game. The sound will still be playing, albeit frozen, in the background. It would happen once or twice and then stop. Looking at the playback devices, it shows a duplicate of my display.

    It seems to happen more frequently in the Formula Retro and Reiza... but that's probably coincidence.

    I went to windowed mode, cleaned out my drivers and installed the newest ones and it was quiet for a bit.

    Until 30 minutes ago.

    It did the black screen thing, as stated above, but this time it happened every 10 seconds or so. In between freezes, the frame rate would be 15 or worse. At the time I was driving Formula Reiza at Sepang that... I think is a Sim Raceway port? I don't know where it came from. I don't think that would really matter as it happened with stock content (Retro at Johannesburg) as well.

    I quit the game, checked Geforce experience and it wasn't showing my graphics card anymore. I had duplicate displays showing up in the playback devices, as usual. So, I ran another game (kingdom come: deliverance) and every 5 seconds or so, it would drop to 20fps for a second or two.

    So, I shutdown and rebooted. I ran hard drive checks and looked at GeForce, and everything looks a/ok. I booted up KCD again and it's running silky smooth, then I booted up Project CARS 2 and again it's silky smooth. Any ideas?

    Hi.
    Everytime after I exit a session/track and go back to the main menu the game freezes.. I dunno why and have no clue.
    Installed it fresh a couple of times and deleted old files, nothing worked.

    any guesses what the problem could be?
    thanks u in advance.

    Yes. But I tried it before without dynhud on and it still went down.

    @Synystr Hi there, can't figure much why you have this, can you check does your graphics adapter overheat perhaps? (suspecting on dust build up if so...).. Sorry atm can't think of anything better to suggest checking.

    No no. Its properly cool. The GPU runs at like 65ish C and the CPU runs like 50ish C.

    But it fixed itself. I changed the audio post fx to medium and it fixed. Might be a coincidence? I have no idea.

    It came out of nowhere and it returned to nowhere. Just wanted to annoy me for a couple days I guess.

    That happened on release version i guess? Once the new update is out, it would be helpful if you could do "Audiolog". Even tho after 30 minutes (audio) trace file will be massive, it may be worth it. PostFX on medium is missing alot of post processing, most
    of which is active on external cameras, not so much on inside.

    I decided to see if switching the audio post processing WAS the fix or if it was coincidence.

    It appears to be coincidence. The issue has seemingly disappeared on ALL audio post processing levels. Usually, I'd have my first "driver crash" or whatever within 10 or so minutes.

    Now, with further testing on all post processing levels, I haven't had a single crash.

    Seeing as I seem to be the only one who has had this issue, nothing has changed to how I play the game (mods, graphical settings, AI or player count), no one seems to know what's going on, any trace of "cause and effect"... at all...

    Let's just pretend this never happened?



    However, if it happens again in this build or in the update, I will return and perform the audiolog trace file thing.

    That being said, sorry for wasting everyone's time XD

    Hi !
    I'm not a regular player of AMS but yesterday i wanted launch a game and and i've a windows error message "Automobilista stop to work" or something else (translate from french ;)).

    I applied the proposed solutions in the 1st post but none works :(, even by completely uninstalling and reinstalling the game, so without any mod.

    My Configuration:
    Windows 10 64 bits
    AMD RX 580 8Gb Driver: 18.3.4 (the lastest)

    I attach my file "Trace.txt"

    In advance thank you for your help
