Game not starting?

[JayArea]

I just updated my game to 1.05 and when I launch the game it gives me a straight black screen. Anyone else have this problem and/or can resolve this issue?

Try deleting your hardware configuration file. It will create a fresh one the next time you start the game, with default graphics settings.

Try

1: Reinstalling all of the local files. Right clikc on F1 22 in the library, vlivk Properties, then Manage local Files, then Reverify Local File Integrity.

2: Go to C:\Users\YourUSERNAME\Documents\My Games\F1 22\hardwaresettings\ and delete the hardware_settings_config_VR.xml file. The game will recreate it on launch. That "resets" everything.

This is the default folder

C:\Users\YourUSERNAME\Documents\My Games\F1 22\hardwaresettings\

Otherwise search for the file name. If that file is just not there then you can create it, but that is such odd behavior I would say uninstall and reinstall the game. Here is the contents of mine for your use

You will need to edit some settings:
