    I'm having issues with the 'MAS file utility' today for some reason. Have used it in the past to make race events, (last time was 2 days ago) but today its stopped working. I click on the 'create package file' icon, and the rFactor 2 MOD packager windows pops up like normal, and I can select the 'Create new mod package' button, but then nothing happens. The program thinks for a second, and then just closes the MAS utility program. It does the same if I click on 'edit mod package' button.
    My Package directory is still in the same location.
    I'm sure its something simple, but I have no idea what.
    Thanks.

    Search for pkginfo.dat and delete it.

    Thanks. I just searched the whole of the steam folder, but found nothing called that. Found a few other 'dat' files, but not pkginfo.dat.
    Is there a specific directory

    C:\Users\You User\AppData\Roaming
    At the end of the folder find these files and delete them
    pkginfo.dat, cmpinfo.dat, cmpinfo_bak.dat, pkginfo_bak.dat
    open MAS2
