I had a thread over at RSC before with some skins I made, but the links to pics and files are all dead now, so I started a new one here

what I have been skinning recently:


BMW M3s from BTCC 1991 season: Team VLM Labatts, drivers T.Harvey (#4), L.Bristow (#9) and guest driver A.Hahne (#9)

there was loads of M3s that year, I hope to skin some more soon

That's messed up on your end - the skins work fine for me. You must have duplicate .ini's

Your skins where just an example. It happens to every single skin.

 

[Michael Herrmann]

you have probaly something installed what couse that
only tip i can give is to remove all coustomskins and put them one after the other in again
if that not helps clean up the gamedata folder and do the same
i got that once while i was trying to paint the interrior files for a e30
after that i had all cars dubbled even the orginal ones

 

[Ross Balfour]

Ok thanks. Will try that now

 

[Marc Kollinger]

Or maybe duplicate driver entries in two different .ini's

 

[Ross Balfour]

What I dont understand is that it only happens me. It has happened the very day I got Race07 on steam. I dont remember doing anything wrong at all there.

Tried that still happens!!!

 

[Michael Herrmann]

hmm
after my knowlege it sounds like you have to do a complete reinstall of race07
may someone else have a better solution

 

[Ross Balfour]

Will that get rid of all my tracks and files and profile settings and fastest laps??
