rFactor on Windows 7

[Mav]

Having now managed to get rFactor up and running and ran a whole meeting at Wimbledon, I set about installing F2's for mondays meeting at Coventry.

 

All installed ok, and it loads the game ok - problem comes when I try and create a new user "Mav_641" - the game just crashes and goes to desktop. The game will then not run at all.

Once I delete the Mav_641 folder which houses the Mav_641.plr, the game runs fine again.

 

Is this a windows 7 thing or is it an administration setting or what??

 

Most people have the same name/number for F1's and F2's so wouldnt be a problem for them, but has anyone else had a problem??

dont create a new user Mav.

 

go into the user data click your folder with your name to go into it.

edit your plr file, i swap between Tosh-8, Tosh-164 Tosh-874.

 

once you edit it come out and edit the folder name to the same number.

 

jobs a good un. will load up in the correct name/number etc.
