Hello everyone,
so I had a particular hard time fixing error 400 when I was trying to sign up for the Tatuus Winter Series, and after a lot of help from Marcel I was able to finally fix it. Since him and all the other devs are pretty busy atm, and the last thing they need is people constatnly asking them for help with an issue thats client sided, I decided to post the solution process here wit has much detail as possible, so people who have these issues in the future have somewhere to go to for help.
So, this error is caused by "track upgrades" that the user previously installed, for a league for example, for a track that is used by this series. So we have to 1) find out which tracks from the series are upgraded; and 2) use modmgr.exe (located in \rfactor2\bin64) to uninstal those upgrades.
TLDR: use modmgr.exe to uninstal track upgrades that you have for any track used in this comp. Track list can be found when you check the serie's summary in the comp system.
Unable to figure out which tracks have upgrades or not? Read on.
1):
- In steam, right click rfactor 2, click properties, and add "+trace=2 +traceFlush" (without quotes) to the Launch options
-start the game, let it sync with workshop, and exit the game
-go to \rfactor2\UserData\Log and open the last / most recent trace_*_*_*_*_*_*.log with your favorite text editor
- use the Find function (usually ctrl+F) to search for TatuusWinterSeries.
-Look for entries that look like this:
The tracks listed in these entries (in this case, Silverstone) are the culprit. Note them down.
EDIT: in case you can't find any entry that looks like that, uninstall TatuusWinterSeries mod in ModMgr and try signing up again.
2)
-go to \rfactor2\bin64 and open ModMgr.exe
- make sure the "Working Dir" is pointing to your \rfactor 2\ install folder
-This was the hard part for me. You have to find the tracks you listed before and uninstall the upgrades, so you get the "stock" track. Im my case, this was hard, because the upgrade changed the track names to, in this case, "R4_M2_CS_Racing_Cup_Silverstone" (R4 was the community where I did an M2 CS Racing Cup, which used silverstone), so when I listed alphabetically, I couldn´t find Silverstone... Uninstalling this brough back the usual Silverstone name. So, look for the culprit tracks in ModMgr.exe (which might actually have a different name), and press uninstal, so you get the stock track back.
-Also, uninstal the TatuusWinterSeries mod.
And that should do it. Open the game and wait for it to do its thing, then try signing up for the league, and it should work! in case it doesnt, go to /rfactor/installed/locations/ and delete the tracks folder, and repeat the process.
Cheers, and happy holidays
