Profile problem

Post by Foxtwof14 »

Hi there guys, just got a track IR 5 for christmas, and I love it to death. however I use a LOT of games with it, and therefore create a lot of profiles. Whats odd is I cant seem to save the profiles. they end up in the appdata/roaming/naturalpoint/trackir/profiles folder however, they dont seem to properly save as a XML document, instead they only retain the name I give them. they are 0kb and hold no text in notepad+

oddly enough the initial 3 profiles I created did save correctly as a XML file.

anyone encounter this before?

update for anyone else having this problem. Track ir's software doesnt support colons. so if you play something like DCS:World or IL2: Cliffs of dover or Elite:Dangerous you cannot correctly save the profiles. for some reason there are a lot of games with colons that work better with track ir :P so just name your profile "DCS"
