Not sure why. My drivers are up to date, game launches fine, I can go through the menus just fine and see the loading screen fine..once it's "done" loading it goes to a black screen where I can hear ambient track audio but nothing ever happens or loads.

that usually sounds like a corrupted graphics_options file.
You can find it here: ...\Documents\My Games\SimBin\RaceRoom Racing Experience\UserData
You can try only deleting the graphics_optinos.xml and ift it works, hooray 😄
If it doesn't we usualy go as far to say back up the whole simbin folder and then retry, then all files are fresh.

Does it happen to a specific combo or does it happen with any car and on any track?
We could try steam file verification.
I was also tjinking about amd gpu problems but it looks like yours is nvidia, i guess.

Ah, well then it could be motion blur setting, that needs to be set to off.

If using steam you could check if your running it in Vulcan of DX11. IIRC I had the same issue and I think I fixed it by changing to Vulcan api or vice versa - worth trying though.

Nice rig btw.

Launching in DXVK seemed to have worked. going to try DX11 later to see if it can fix itself and load
