Crash back to launcher after loading track

[Larry David]

As the title says, I load a track, and it flashes black then goes back to the launcher.

1. Check acs.exe is not blocked/quarantined by a security software like antivirus and whatnot.
2. Check your ingame resolution (ac > Options > Video > Resolution) is same as your recommended screen or windows resolution.
3. Rename your Documents > "Assetto Corsa" folder to "Assetto Corsa old" and restart game.
4. Go to your (Steam) assettocorsa folder > _CommonRedist and (re)install the DotNet and vcredist as admin.
5. Paste your Documents/Assetto Corsa/logs/launcher.log to pastebin dot com and link it.

Check your cache, but usually the reason is change the in game resolution. Everyone has this problem, I wish kunos could have a permanent fix.

Well it seems to only crash on custom tracks. I havent changed any settings since the last time I ran AC fine. Did a google search and came across this: https://steamcommunity.com/app/244210/discussions/0/487870763300641850/?ctp=3

Tried the suggestions but it still crashes on custom tracks. If I load stock tracks then it works fine. Im not using any 3rd party cars.

Can you name a track that crashes?

[Larry David]

Literally all of em. Longford 67, Blackwood, Paul Ricard. Any 3rd party track and it crashes. Any stock track and it works.

sounds to me like an installation issue.
Have you installed track in the correct place e.g C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\assettocorsa\content\tracks\blackwood

I tried it with Donington and VIR, with Oreca (as mod) and 98T without problems, so I'd guess it shouldn't be a problem with the main game. You could try to search if there are updates for the modded tracks and/or check Documents/Assetto Corsa/logs/ for errors. Easiest is if you delete all files in logs, start the track and check for errors at the end of the newly created log file(s) - and use pastebin.org to make em public for others to look through.

this is happening to me but its not the tracks that causing it, its specific cars, I installed car mods so that might be why

[Larry David]

I renamed the AC folder in /documents to see if there was something in there that caused trouble. Nope, AC would crash back to menu after loading any 3rd party track. Stock tracks caused no issues. I didnt touch any settings or even the game that much so I cant imagine why this happened. I did a clean reinstall of Nvidia drivers but that didnt help. Note this happened AFTER upgrading to the W10 Creators Update.

So I just deleted AC and reinstalled it. Put back my 3rd party tracks and sure enough it seems to be working just fine.

I have issues with AC no matter what track or car i use. Has anyone found a solution for this problem?

I think Trux may have the answer, if any likelyness of installing mods to Race 07.
Depending on the mod, cars or tracks, where to put them, where and how to unpack files etc in different patterns and places ...
It seems also from who you get it, there were different procedures and no general rule... very stupid and made my hair grey and 10 years older in a week, thats why i can't bother with the ♥♥♥♥ anymore as games have become a fukken pc-technician thingy almost...

Heck i ended up with a Viper with neongreen transparant wheels and another car was showed as a drivers seat :))) and so on... Seems the game can't separate stuff and end up with a mix of original and mods instructions.
And no matter if you get it right, one day mods always gonna ♥♥♥♥ up your Folders.

If there is any "instructuctions" from the community/modder - read them word by word even if
they first seem "about same" as the earlier ones.

Good luck and see you in the gameplayers asylum ;)

I had the same: It's just a question of time,
For to use the track during it back to normal just "force 32 bit version" in your settings for when you use the track who doesn't work
Have a nice day
