Dutch_P47M 9 Posted September 18, 2009 (edited) I have a failure, see the attachement JPG, so I am going to reinstall OFF3 as mentioned by the failure popup. But I do not want to lose my pilot/campaign files etc. and even want to store my CFS3config adjustments. What [hidden] files should I backup for saving my pilot/campaigns!!!!! The CFS3config adjustments, I think, I will do a print-screen and type them later manually in!!! Edited September 18, 2009 by Dutch_P47M Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sitting_duck 3 Posted September 18, 2009 (edited) rerunning the cfs3config doesnt fix that problem???? im not so sure you have to reinstall.... and,,unless someone has figured out something that i dont know about,,,you cant "backuup" your pilots......if you reinstall,,you will loose them...

sitting_duck 3 Posted September 18, 2009 ok,,dutch,,, i found my configoverides.xml,,renamed it something else,,and ran off,,,and got the same message as you. i exited the game,,and ran cfs3config (and allll my old setting where gone,,so you owe me).....redid my settings,,,exitied out of that,,and went back and it had rewritten my configoverides.xml file... so im pretty sure thats all you have to do too.......

Dutch_P47M 9 Posted September 18, 2009 (edited) Basically anytime you do anything to that computer, OFF tells you to reinstall. New Video Card, new video drivers, system restoration seemingly unrelated to OFF Try a Graphics Card Configuring via Workshop, don't be so quick to reinstall. Plus as Sitting Duck pointed out . . . . . . on a reinstall, you WILL lose all your pilots Yep that is my first concen how to safe my pilot/campaign. To my opinion it is just backupping the campaign and pilot folders, but are here some hidden folders that are needed for the capaign/pilots????. Later I could do the Sitting Duck method, the resets CFS3 in the workshop, or reinstall OFF3. But losing the pilot/campaign folders I'm the most afraid of .

sitting_duck 3 Posted September 18, 2009 dutch,,,if you figure out a way,,,let us know...,,but,,i dont think it can be done somewhere,,,something is encrpted (or so ive heard).....this is why you cant do a "save" of the game, and if you pilot gets killed,,,just reload the save.... but,,its all a mute point,,,will be very surprised if just rerunning cfs3config and redoing your settings does not solve the problem... dont confuse this with the reset,,,where it tells you you will loose all your pilot/campaing data,,,just hit the "graphics config" link in workshop....

Dutch_P47M 9 Posted September 20, 2009 (edited) Problem is solved, It was the newest catalyst that I installed on my PC, the only problem right now is that I had optimized (=1/2 year try&error) the CFS3config adjustments, they are now all gone, what a rubbish is this CFS3config :angry2: but "I'm happy" no influence on my pilot/campaign !!!!
