    Welcome,
    I'm getting "Game Did Not Patch?" error after selecting game's path in game manager (screenshot attatched).
    I've already tried reinstalling it to C:/ but it didn't change anything.
    I'd be very glad for a solution to this problem.

    @Pawel been a while since i did it, but i think you have to create a folder within the Bin32 folder called Plugins then patch, since rf2 has gone 64bit only they stopped making a plugin folder with in Bin32 hope this helps

    edit also dont forget to patch the root rf2 folder

    for me was
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\rFactor 2

    Okay, I did it and now I'm getting "The Selected Path is not Valid for Patching" error. At least that's some progress I guess. Do you have any further tips?

    Presuming a default Steam install the path and folders required should be like this: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\Bin32\Plugins

    Hi @Pawel it has to be root folder for patch (your install folder)

    ie
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\rFactor 2

    not plugins folder but the plugins folder needs to be there for it to work

    I cannot patch RFactor 2 either. In the folder RFactor 2, I have the following folders: Bin, Bin64.... but no bin 32, does this mean I have to create a folder bin 32 with the game plugging into it as shown on the video?

    Regards

    I shared some pictures for clearer explanation of the issue
    Image 5922 shows how my gamer appears: Steam library,/steamapps:....
    Image 5923 shows the message I have when I clic on RFactor2: the patching fails
    Image 5924 shows the message I have when I clic on whatever folder into the >RFactor 2 folder: wrong directory.

    I have to add that into the Bin64 folder, there is a folder named "pluggings"

    Any idea to help?

    Thank you

    Hello

    I did it (creating a Bin32 folder and copying the folder plugins into it and patching rFactor 2) and it worked great! Thank you for this efficient help. That's the kind of stuff you cannot guess.
