Hi all,
I'm new to the forum, big F1 fan, and have just downloaded F1 2012 on Steam.
I have been attempting to do some database.bin editing, using the latest Ryder Database Editor, I want to be able to swap drivers and teams, so for example I am trying to swap Kimi and Lewis around so that Kimi drives for Mclaren and Lewis for Lotus.
I open up the database.bin in RDE and then open the "f1drivers_f1teams" table. I then quite simply find the "f1driver" id for Lewis & Kimi and on each line edit the id for "f1team", from 21 (mclaren) to 24 (lotus) and vice versa, I then save the database.
I have made sure that all files in "..SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\F1 2012\database" are not read only and that I am running RDE as an administrator.
I then go to start the game, it launches and the F1 2012 black box pops up, the window then opens to a black screen and then shuts right away. No warnings, just won't open. If I replace the database.bin with the original it all works again, but obviously that's no good because I want to be able to swap drivers!
So my question is, am I doing something wrong? Or can this not be done, either in this way, or at all?
Appreciate any help you can give me on this
Many thanks.
