    Some extra info would be most useful to try diagnose where it may be wrong. For instance:

    1- What OS and antivirus are you running?

    2- Are there any mods installed? It should work with mods fine, but if some mod is using bad syntax that could possibly trigger errors.

    Also would suggest try running directly from the install folder (\AMS\SeasonTool), as opposed from the Steam launch option - see if that works any differently.

    Desktop 05.27.2017 - 11.02.28.01.png Desktop 05.30.2017 - 21.51.55.01.png hey guys, Renato said to post the problems i have here.
    if i try to open the season tool, it tries to scan the game data it gives multiple errors all coming from the season tool folder, will post the pictue again under this post.

    like Dave said in the 1.4 update thread, i looked in my antivirus and found nothing regarding my antivrus maybe blocking the season tool. out of curiosity i still disabled the antivirus and firewall, deleted the season tool folder and did a integrity check. just in case somtehing was deleted. when that was done, i rebooted my whole pc. started up steam and the season tool and again the same errors.

    here also the info that was requested by Renato:

    -windows 7
    -norton security
    -mods installed:
    Cart extreme, urd corvette mod, urd dtm mod + skin pack, fv10, v12, classic and retro skinpacks, EEC GT3, EEC LMS, a few mods from SCE like the enduracers mod. and the indycar 2012 mod.
    - i have also tried to start the tool up directly from the directory, the same issues.
    tracks:
    track pack from patrick giranthon, and some other tracks from racedepartment and xtremefactor.

    i personally think the errors have nothing to do with mods. firstly because none of the errors direct towards a mod or even stock content. all are from the season tool folder and the files inside this folder. secondly ther are others with mods and even a heavy modified instll and all works fine. so i personally think we should look more towards some problem in the season tool than mod related stuff. and i also dont think it is my AV. as i acnt find anything that can hold it back, and already have the complete AMS folder as a exception for firewall and AV things. hope you guys can do something with my information.

    Well it's complaining about a tga image, which is most likely something strange in a mod at first glance, trying to load the series icon or a track mini image.

    Not that other things should be ruled out, but if others post which mods they have installed then that may narrow it down. You could also try removing the SRS mod files one by one and see if it loads...

    Sorry, I edited in a little more detail. Also has anyone had that error on a vanilla install?

    thanks for the edit, i will try that. so first the srs and also the tga? and maybe later track mods, when it comes to mini images?

    The tga file won't be loaded if the SRS file isn't present.

    Tracks would be the logical thing to try afterwards.

    @Rudolph523 do have any of the mods I have listed? I may need to delete them one by one.

    If you could attach the offending files here and then @Dave Stephenson can take a look

    i can confirm this. all srs files i deleted didnt do anything, saw your response and immediatly deleted the files from this skinpack. and suddenly the tool worked. even cross checked by putting all deleted files back except for the files that you found. and the tool still worked. so it indeed was the 1975 skinpack for the f retro.

    my question now becomes, how can we get the files to work with the tool? or do we need to wait until the maker from this skinpack comes with an update?

    So most things seem to be working well, except for this... when I use a value over 999, the drivers with 1,000+ get ranked as if the game is reading it as 1.000.
    RIP my 1.5 hour boxer race at Spa :(

    It other news, my dream would be for every single possible customization offered in the season files to be offered in the season editor :) But I assume it will only get more in-depth from here.

    And finally.... I think if you have "caution laps don't count" enabled, it should also stop the clock during yellows in timed races

    Well, I have the same errors as Rudolph. So for what I read it...is the Formula Retro 75 skin pack? If so, I will wait for a solution, probably from the modder. Im not willing to uninstall it just yet. :)

    You can just cut and paste those files into a another folder for the time being that's all I have done. You don't need to delete any skins or any other files to enable the custom season tool to work.

    So now I have set myself and the error searched. It is not at the .srs file but clearly at the associated .tga file. If you are not sure which graphic file of an addon mod does not fit, open one by one in a graphics program of your choice and save it again in TGA format.

    To the developers:
    Maybe you can change the query so that the custom season tool uses the same rule as in Automobilista to display the graphics. If the tga file does not fit, using a placeholder.
    Just a suggestion.
