    Every time i try to open the game i get this error:

    ---------------------------
    Failed to create compiler for effect!
    ---------------------------
    Failed to create compiler for effect 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\raceroom racing experience\Game\shaders\dx9\fx\postprocessing.fx'
    ---------------------------


    i've tried to check the integrity of game files in steam multiple times but it doesnt work, i haven't been able to play yet, i waited 2 days downloading 28 gb to not be able to play.
    My specs are:

    Intel Pentium E5700 3.0 GHz
    4GB DDR3 Ram
    Nvidia GeForce GT440

    i know it's not the most powerfull Pc, but i've seen people playing with rigs similar to this, so it's not a hardware problem

    i'll upload the crush dump

    Maybe try deleting that file and after that do the integrity check again.

    Also, what OS are you using, in particular which version (32bit or 64bit)? Could it be that you're using a 32bit OS system but trying to run the game in 64bit mode? To run the game in 32bit you have to right-click it in steam and select the according option.

    im using windows 10 64bit, i thought i was pretty obvious that that wasn't the problem, when you try to execute a 64bit program in a 32 bit OS you get a error saying that its not a correct Win32 application

    Hi!
    Try deleting the graphics_options.xml file found in your R3E user folder.

    E.g. C:\Users\YourUsername\Documents\My Games\SimBin\RaceRoom Racing Experience\UserData

    Your GPU is below minimum Specs. You need at least a GTX460. Could be the issue.

    Have you tried running the game in 32 bits? It does not make much sense to run it in 64 bits mode if you only have 4 Gb of RAM.
