I can't say for sure that it is related to the Replay analyzer but I haven't installed, added, changed, anything between bootups and installing it. I wanted to do an off-line race. I selected the driver, selected the car, selected the track, and went to the setup screen. There were no setups there at all. not at any track. I changed cars several times and several drivers but still no setups. The complete list of setups for all cars and tracks are available for "training" mode, but not for "single race" mode. The same for online races. Like I said, I cant say it's related to RA, but that's the only thing different about the system. I did notice that after getting to the end of the track list (Road Atlanta was the last one on the list) That instead of cycling through to the first track on the list (Kyalami), it cycled the last three tracks. This could be a bug in the track list order in RA. I did open that option but I didn't change anything.

Then went and re-installed GPL-1.0. I went and renamed the current gpl.exe to 10gpl.exe and renamed the other gpl.exe back to gpl.exe. Now I'm patched to 1.2.0.1. Had the same problem :-( After yelling and screaming I finally went and started a "single Race" with my F3 driver. I figured out just what the problem was when I jumped in the cockpit of my !!F1 car!! I have no idea how it happened but my F3 and F2 drivers had the player.ini driver rating changed to a 3. After changing it back to 3 and 2 respectfully, I had my setups returned in Single race mode. All I can think of is maybe RA's GPLRank may have tinkered with it? Mike

How many tracks do you have installed and does anyone know if there is a limit? Certainly I don't have this problem after installing Road Atlanta and I have 48 Tracks Installed.

I have tried and tried but haven't been able to reconstruct the error. The Track list recycling problem was my fault!! I installed Pocono twice in the season.ini files by mistake. With that in mind, I *May have* had the player.ini setup with a default DriverRating. I don't think so but it is at least a possibility as I rarely drive off line against the AI.

We never write to player.ini, we only read so it seems very unlikely. And the driver rating is never even read at all. But please try to reproduce the error. Cheers, /Martin

I figured out just what the >problem was when I jumped in the cockpit of my !!F1 car!! HAHAHAHA! I had the same thing happen after running an F3 with you guys once. I jumped in a league race, but forgot to change back to F1..."WTF happened to all my setups?!?" oops...
