*SOLVED* Starting in Content manager now starts saying "Game crashed"

[sybull]

2 days ago I was playing AC through content manager perfectly. Had been for months.

Now when I try to practice a lap (same car and circuit as previously) it says: "Game manager cashed . Content manager could not find out whats wrong"

So I tried directly from AC. Select Practice/KTM x-bow/Silverstone and click on "Start Engine". The screen goes black for a few seconds and then the selection screen pops up again as if nothing has happened.

Any suggestions ? Can't think of anything that might have changed since Friday evening. Tried updating my AMD software, but no improvement.

The most annoying of problems with PCs and gaming in general is when a problem arises out of nowhere, and you have no idea why it's happening. If there was a recent mod, hardware change, or something, at least we would know.

Things I would try in your shoes, after every step, try running an offline race with stock car/track and check if it works;

1. verify game files of AC in steam, let it replace and fix any corrupt or missing files
2. in CM, disable CSP to see if any of those settings are interferring
3. double check CM screen resolution matches desktop
4. Run AC via steam without CM altogether
5. Confirm AC executables are not black listed in any of your AV or windows defender software. Those apps might have made some background changes or updates without the user even knowing, even though any blacklisting of AX.exe usually happens upon installation, not just randomly a few days/weeks later, but still worth checking

And of course the last options is a full reinstall of AC and CM which could only take 10 minutes if you have a fast connection

Thanks for that. I suspected the Anti-virus for a bit. Verified the files etc.

Rule #1: Post a message and you will then fix the problem within minutes.

The solution : The display setting

The display was on "Rift VR" . Changed it to "Flatscreen" and it worked.

Once working in flatscreen, I changed the display type "Open VR" ( I normally play in VR) and I was back in business
