    Hi there,

    Over the last few months (going back to towards the beginning of the year, actually) I noticed that the vehicles were no longer showing up in the showroom. I could select them from the list and drive in them no problem, there was just no on-screen graphic (neither in the showroom itself nor the smaller preview section).

    At first I thought that it was something to do with how I installed the EEC showroom, so I deleted this, but no change.

    Recently (just a few hours ago), I did a complete re-install of the game, having first deleted all of the files present in the steamapps/common/Automobilista directory (not the Documents, though - I planned to save my settings and copy them across after the reinstallation). After the install, I copied over my settings and started up the game again... still no change.

    Then I thought to back-up my settings so that I could delete them from the Documents directory, to see if this would have any effect. It did - I was prompted to create a new profile and then I tested to see if I could see any vehicles in the preview/showroom, and I could... great! After some more deleting/copy/pasting, etc. to isolate the problem, it turned out to be the older .PLR file itself which was causing the issue.

    I had a quick scan through the older file and compared it to the newly created one... there were some slight differences between them, but none of them seemed like things that would make a difference (not to my uneducated mind, anyway).

    What I'd like to know is, what about the .PLR file could have caused this to happen? Is there a settting I can change in my older .PLR file so that I can continue using it, and is it even worth doing anyway, considering all of the other files in the old profile folder can still be used?

    I know that technically the issue is (it seems) resolved, but I only ask so that I can prevent myself from changing whatever it is I foolishly changed last time around (probably some time last year).

    Thanks in advance.
