    Hi Team,
    I have just upgraded to win10 (from 7, Steam made me do it!) and now the game won't launch, it pops up a message box asking if I allow the Steam launch options, when I click OK, it just restarts and loops the same thing?...missing 7 already :(

    Just tried deleting any launch options but still won't start, just loops a message box...

    How exactly does that message look like? You should upload a screenshot here.

    Apart from the community, which is greatly appreciated, support for this sim is sadly lacking, that with alongside issues that remain unfixed, I can see why people drift away :(

    Yes tried that, I don't like discord, I don't know how to use it and couldn't even find my post!

    Seems the problem is from having "Run this program as an administrator" ticked in the .exe properties? o_O

    In this case, you would probably also need to run Steam as an administrator or else it won't be able to start the game.

    Regardless, I don't think there's any reason to run R3E as an administrator. So if the game works after unchecking that option, just leave it like that.

    I'm not sure you need this. I just checked, neither Steam nor Raceroom are run as administrator on my PC and it works fine.
