    Hello all

    I having troubles finding the player_name . PRL file in games such as race race 07 and gtr evolution in STEAM.

    Actually I have found them in race and race 07 (but not gte evolution - can t find even the directory)) but they seem to be encrypted when you open them with the notepad.

    i am guessing these files are not the right one and they are protected and need to look somewhere else or maybe we need to change the fonts or remove the encryption of some sort ?

    any idees ?? i am sure some one went through the same troubles

    help is appreciated
    thanks

    there are diffrent Locations for online and offline Installation.
    In Steam you find the folder : Steam- Steamapps-Race07- UserName-

    MOD: please move this topic to correct forum section ...


    Race07-RaceOn-GTR Evo-STCC files are stored under the same installation path:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\'your username'\race 07


    The .plr file is not in Steam folder .... it's under your Documents:

    Documents\SimBin\RACE 07\UserData\'your username'\yourusername.plr

    Hi,

    Don't forget ... the .plr file is under My Documents not Program files ...

    Raceon-STCC-GTR Evo are only extension packs for Race07. They are all installed in the same Race07 root folder.

    You only need to launch Race07 .exe to get all the content ... Only the menus background will change depending on which .exe you start in your Steam menu. In the game installation folder you will only find Race_Steam.exe

    The .plr file is unique and is used by all Race07 extension packs.

    Hi Bleco and whoever reads this

    I got it to work but still a slight bug

    i open steam , select the game , I laugch the game, say yes, click play game on the sender , the game is detected by the profiler
    except a question pops up about settings or parameter , if you respond yes or no the game stops if you ignore and let the game proceed it is OK . it is just a bit anoying

    any idea what i am doing wrong ? is it a question of profile ?


    thanks
