rFactory no work:(

Post by Coopz »

Trying to get the original rFactor to launch. It starts, the intro begins but it just goes to a blank screen. I can hear the background music playing but no picture.
Tried various screen resolutions, refresh rates, window modes and different drivers but the same result every time. Have to alt ctrl delete to get out.
Have not played it for of a year but it worked fine last time.
Win 7 64 and a ATi card. Scratching my head on what else I can do..

Umm works fine for me using W7 64 & an AMD HD7970... only thoughts are;

1. Tick the widescreen UI option. (assuming you use WS)
2. Try Windowed mode or not.
3. Some issue with DX9 on your GFX card?
4. Are you using multi-monitor or is it somehow being sent through to a different GFX output (VGA, HDMI, DVI etc)?

Think I'll have to reinstall it:(
Tried pretty much every graphic option, tweak and setting..
Just the same result after the load screen, blank screen with the showroom music running in the background.

Also a major pita as everytime I have to end it I get a looping sound bug that requires a restart to fix :no: :no:

Is there anyway to run the directx runtime that rF usually runs when you install an instance? Check in the game folders & try that before doing a new install.
Or just install a new (lite) instance & see if it fixes you're original install.

Just make sure you get a STEAM key from ISI so you don't have to pay for it again. ;)
