Try deleting(or at least renaming or moving) the racecast plugin in the plugins folder..........I know it used to cause issues with server refreshes and rF actually locking at the startup screen......the solution was deleting it and rF would download the latest on connection to the master server.

*Edit* the other question is...did you do a new fresh rF install or install over the top of the old files?

i did a install over top first and encountered the same problem, so deleted and did a fresh one. will try what you said though, cheers

tried that and it comes up with a blank server list, and says "matchmaker did not respond"

any suggestions?

edit: think i managed to do that but it came back with request timed out and,

packets: sent=4, recieved=0, lost-4, (100% loss)

Theres your problem.........is your firewall blocking the new version of rF?

When I first joined a game it was fine but if I went out of the server to join a different one, the list would not reappear. If I closed rFactor and re-opened it would load the servers again with no hassels. Weird. But then it seemed to auto-fix itself. Weirder.
