Hi guys,
Got a really tricky problem:
So once in a while, when I startup FS 1.96j I get the 'file not found' error. Then, some or all of my fixtures and my choosen background are not available anymore. When I replace my location file with a backup, everything is ok. So it looks like something went wrong when I closed FS the moment before.
Anyone with the same problem or a solution?
Thanks for your reaction!
Regards Edgar

Re: File not found error on startup
When FS starts up, it will load all the fixture files saved in your location file.
If one or more fixture files are missing, you will get this error message.
Did you create new fixture files by yourself or did you make customized versions of existing fixture files?
Then make sure to make a backup of those files, because every time you uninstall FS all fixture files will be deleted.
When installing a new version of FS, only the packaged fixture files are installed, not your edited or created fixture files.

I did change the text of a group of par 64 spots, saved the file and quit FS. But when I started up again, he coudn't find the file, altough I didn't move it?
