Resolved Windows 10 will sometimes assign Windows Vista compatibility setting to either the game or to Steam. This causes a crash of the game related to in-game overlays. To resolve this issue: You need to make sure that no compatibility settings are applied to either Steam or RaceRoom executables. This can be done by running the compatibility tool on the Steam and RaceRoom executable:. Go to the game's installation folder. By default it should be the following: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\raceroom racing experience\Game Find the RRRE.exe file Right-Click on it In the menu that appears, click on "Troubleshoot compatibility" A new window with a progress bar appears. When it is finished, click "Try recommended settings" Click the "Test program" button If the game works, click the "Next" button On the final page, click "Save these settings for the program" and close the window once the changes are saved. Go to the Steam’s installation folder. By default it should be the following: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\ and repeat these steps. If this does not work, try setting compatibility settings to Windows XP Service Pack 3. If none of the above solves the issue, you may need to remove some values in the registry. NOTE: Editing the registry can cause severe issues if not done properly, and you should not do so unless you feel confident that you can handle it. Hit start->run->regedit Go to key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers Look for an entry with your path to steam.exe Delete that entry If you dont find it there try HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers Repeat this process looking for an entry with your path to RRRE.exe Tried all of the above, game starts but freezes at press any key to continue Uninstalled game, re-installed game repeated above instructions same problem RE-installed win10 all is good.
