Just noticed that you should pay attention when "backing up" your player folder. For some testing, I renamed my player folder to player_orig, then copied it and renamed the copy to player. Well, I was wondering why my pb's aren't stored anymore until I noticed that rF2 now used the "player_orig" as data folder. Of course it was easily fixed by deleting the "player" folder and renaming the "player_orig" to "player" again. In other words, don't rename the player folder. If you want to back it up, copy it and rename the copy to something like player_backup.
Actually this would be something REALLY handy for ISI to include in the Launcher. A little backup button to backup and restore player data.....could be REALLY Handy.
You can now use the rFactor 2 Backup Manager tool Link for download here: http://isiforums.net/f/showthread.php/12274-rFactor-2-backup-manager?p=170459&viewfull=1#post170459 Cheers
