    To edit json files, would be better to use notepad++. Windows notepad or other txt file editors doing sometimes strange things while saving those files. As i have seen some user in trouble after the latest update with av false alerts, could it be in your case, too, that a desktop av is blocking rf2 files?

    This happens typically if you have edited JSON files manually, which is not a good idea unless you know exactly what you are doing. The solution is basically to delete any JSON file that causes the problem and let rF2 regenerate a fresh one (it can be any of player/controller/multiplayer/etc. JSON).

    There was no need to reinstall it. Seems you are first acting and then reading.....:p

    And no Jürgen, windows-notepad doesn´t do any strange things to .JSON or other files.
    Edited them thousand´s of times and never had a problem.

    Json can get corrupted during crash. Best to keep backups and restore on problems.
