hey everyone,

i have got a little problem with the game: al my .dat files from in the game (eg. handling.dat and stuff) have become unreadable to the game, due to my computer crashing earlier this week.

this is what's my problem: normally these .dat files have a standard program to be opened in the game, but this program has somehow gone lost, and now the standard program to open .dat files has changed to "microsoft office word"... i can now read these files, because they are text files, but the game is unable to open them... has anyone got any idea how i can fix this??

thanks a lot

Reinstall the game.

is there no other way? cause i dont want to lose all my saved games and stuff... it ll take hours to get where I am now

When you uninstall the game, the uninstaller will ask you if you would like to keep your save data, so you can easily reinstall the game without deleting your savegames.
