Hi there!

The trouble here is with the umlaut symbol `ü` in folder names. It seems GTR2 was programmed long time ago as ANSI program, therefore it does not work properly with language-specific symbols in filepath.

Mod version: EEC_GT3_MOD_GTR2_V2_32.7z

Bug:
`2012 ADAC Mühlner Motorsport` and `2012 ADAC Schütz Motorsport` are absent in GTR2 if Windows locale set to English (or whatever else language without `ü` in its ANSI char table).

The bug was observed at this race, Mühlner Motorsport car was rendered as the placeholder Pace car, as an absent content or mod not installed.

Workaroud: set Windows locale as German.

Possible fix: rename team folder names in the mod as `2012 ADAC Muhlner Motorsport` and `2012 ADAC Schutz Motorsport`.

Das ist alles richtig was du sagst.
Wir werden in Zukunft etwas besser aufpassen was die "Ü" angeht.
Wie wir mit den vorhandenen Mod´s umgehen? Mal schauen.

That's all right what you say.
In the future we will take care a little better regarding the "Ü".
How do we deal with the existing mods? We will see.

Hello again!

As of today, at least 119 files cannot be read by the game. Enclosing filelist below.

What i propose: change all critical filenames to ISO basic Latin alphabet / US-ASCII and maintain all further mods up to these standards. As i stated in the Altbierbude forum I'd be happy to assist preparing necessary changes.

Hi,
thanks for the list.

I know of the following skins that cause problems (e.g.in Cyrillic) because there is an umlaut in the folder structure.

..Teams\EEC GT3\Porsche 997 GT3 R\2012 ADAC Mühlner Motorsport
..Teams\EEC GT3\Porsche 997 GT3 R\2012 ADAC Schütz Motorsport
..Teams\24H\SEAT V8 CHALLANGE\BitJäger Racing
..Teams\24H\BMW Teams\Jägermeister Racing
..Teams\24H\BMW Teams\Mädchen & Motoren
..Teams\Sport\BMW 840ci\Jägermeister
..Teams\Sport Cars\Corsa VXR\Gebrüder Keull
..Teams\Sport Cars\Corsa VXR\Jägermeister RacingI will try to fix this soon.
----------------------------
to your list:
All files have special characters or umlauts.

Most of the files are helmets and racing suits.
If these cannot be read, standard textures are loaded instead.

GTL/GTR2 also works without these files.
The same applies to the talent files (.rcd).

This is perhaps not one hundred percent optimal, but also not worth the huge effort of rewriting and updating everything.
---------------------
From your list I only see 2 files that really cause problems so that the skin does not work for you.
..Teams/GT3/Audi R8 LMS GT3 Teams/Audi Sport Performance cars/blauau?en00.dds
..Teams/GT3/Audi R8 LMS GT3 Teams/Audi Sport Performance cars/blauau?en01.dds If you know how to get it to work for you, let me know.. then I would update it.

Da heute ja Turbinchen ansteht und 2 der 3 Skins ein ü im Namen haben...würde das nicht wieder Probleme machen bei Leuten ohne Umlaute in ihrem PC-Zeichensatz?

Die Umlaute machen nur Probleme, wenn sie in der Ordner-Struktur sind. Ingame machen sie keine Probleme. Sollte also funktionieren.
