I'm hoping someone here can figure this out. My rFactor installation has been working fine for years upon years, now all of a sudden WITHOUT CHANGING ANYTHING, it crashes as soon as I start it, after it shows that smaller square image when it's loading the game, and it goes into full screen mode to get into the actual game. I get the "rFactor has stopped working" thing.
It's weird, and I know it's not my PC nor my new graphics card (Radeon RX 480) because I have another newer rFactor installation which still works fine.
Here's my trace:
About 10,000 lines of "setup.cpp 1892: Did not add vehicle GAMEDATA\VEHICLES\etc. (either because it did not pass filter or error)" for the VEH file of every single car I have, and
gamestats.cp 906: RaceCast Location set to: racecast.rfactor.net
plrfile.cpp 1727: Attempting to save to USERDATA\James\James.TMP
plrfile.cpp 1757: Retcode: 0 for renaming to USERDATA\James\James.PLR
RFETire.hpp 128: Dedicated instance not detected, assumming client.
vidman.cpp 1229: Entered VidMan::Enter()
I literally have not changed anything since last time I played, haven't even installed any new mods. So why is this happening?
It would be a shame if I had to reinstall it, because as I've said I've had this installation for years since 2010 and since then I've built it up to a 100gb installation. I have almost every car and track you can think of and I don't have backups of the original archives they came in - Meaning I'll have to redownload them. Most of them the links probably won't even work anymore meaning they would be impossible to redownload.
Edit: Trace after removing all driver profiles.
TRACE LEVEL = 4

Edit2: Replaced Plugins folder with Plugins folder from fresh install:

So now there's less in my trace file, however it's still crashing.
Edit3: Don't know what the problem was with my old installation, but I fixed it by creating a fresh installation and moving everything there. Weird that a fresh installation worked with the exact same files copied to it, however when I made a fresh installation and copied the fresh files to the old folder - That didn't work. Even though the two folders had the same files in them. Whatever is causing the old one to crash, isn't causing the new one to crash.
