About rFactor 2

About this game

Summary

rFactor 2 is a realistic, easily extendable racing simulation from Studio 397. It offers the latest in vehicle and race customization, great graphics, outstanding multiplayer and the height of racing realism. rFactor 2 features mixed class road racing with ultra realistic dynamics, an immersive sound environment and stunning graphics, perfect for top-level esports and a rich single-player experience.

Race against a field of AI cars, or in multi-player mode against others. rFactor 2 supports a full day-night cycle as well as dynamically varying weather conditions such as rain which dynamically builds into puddles. Tracks feature "real-road" technology that changes the grip as more cars drive on it. You can run full 24 hour endurance events and in multi-player mode, driver swaps are also supported. Everything can be customized by the community, including adding new tracks and cars, and a wealth of add-ons are available on-line.Working with several partners, rFactor 2 has been used in hundreds of esport championships all over the world – in particular McLaren’s World’s Fastest Gamer and Formula E.

rFactor 2 is also an evolving product, which will be updated and added to for many years, so the list of features will expand!

rFactor 2 just doesn't work, in so many terrible ways. First off the new and "improved" UI won't download base content if you've never installed the game before. You have to use the beta old_ui setting to get content to download. On top of that the game doesn't recognize any steering input on my Fanatec CSW V1 even though the game recognizes I have one and offers to load a preset. Even trying to manually set the steering input doesn't work, rF2 just doesn't recognize steering input. (My wheel works in every single other sim/simcade I play so it's definitely a bug in rF2.) Oh, and sometimes you're stuck in your car looking up at the sky. I guess that's because rF2 knows you won't be able to play it so you might as well just stare off into the sky sipping a cool Arnold Palmer while forlornly wishing the game would work. And finally rFactor, the company, refuses to answer support requests. So, in conclusion: Do. Not. Buy.
