That's really strange, i've checked my code between these two steps basically there is no active code, could it be some antivirus or some external softwares (i've seen some asus utilities making some beautiful mess a few weeks ago, but not specifically here)after restarting it and leaving it again in this state, after 9 minutes it started up all of a sudden:

So it took 9 minutes to create the DR2 Game Manager. Any ideas why?
Did it started to occur suddainly ? Could you enable the debug mode in simhub settings and send me the log file when it occurs again ?
