GP32K Player Name Issue
Posted: 04.01.2020, 21:22
So I've installed GP32k recently and I have an issue with making a new player name, when replacing another driver.
After Installing I picked a team (Sauber) and put a fictitious name in the driver 2 slot for that team. I then saved the new name set 'mydnames' and then went to practice and quick race.
After that I came out of the game, carried out a few odd job PC tasks, then went back into GP32k. I then noticed the game had not loaded my fictitious driver name (mydnames) set, but the pro driver Mika Salo. I then discovered that there was no mydnames file (I thought I'd saved) in the games GP32k dir folder and save folder?
So I copied the dnames file (default names) to my desktop and renamed it mydnames and put it in the save folder. Hoping that would solve my issue. I then went back into the game, made up my fictitious driver name again and saved that by overwriting the made file from desktop (now in save for folder) to mydnames. But after going out and back into the game, it still (from start) loads the default drivers and Mika Salo in the Sauber.
So in other words every time I go into the game I have to load the file mydnames. The game just won't save or load it automatically.
Anybody got any ideas.
PS: I've recently installed Gp2,3,4 and all is fine with the driver names there.
