F1 2012 Profile problem

[Chris]

Hi all,
I've got a problem with my F1 2012 profile, and was wondering if anyone knew of a fix or something. My profile didnt load up properly yesterday, after i tried to edit the F1 drivers / teams field in the database. So I reverted my database back to how it was, but the game still wont remember my profile, and asks me to create a new one.

Luckily i've got a backup of my save game, that i copy and paste when it doesnt work, however i really dont want to have to do this every time i want to play the game.

Basically what happens is this:
Every time i start my computer up and boot F1 2012, the game wants me to create a new profile.
This only happens when the computer has been powered off. If i start the game for a second time, (after putting the save files back in) then it runs fine. But, if the computer is restarted, and then F1 2012 is booted, it wont work.

I really dont know why this is happening.


Any help please?

It's as if restarting my computer makes the game wipe its' memory.

I don't know if you already did something but a look at this http://www.racedepartment.com/forum/threads/career-wiped-out-anyone-can-help.62768/ might help.

Thanks so much! I seem to have fixed it by creating a new profile with the same name as my previous one, then quiting, C+P my save game data into the remote folder, and it worked!

I can now restart my computer and my original profile loads up! Hooray!

SOLVED! (For now)
