Can't Find Data : Personal Folder

Post by Cody »

Alright, I downloaded the snapshot from 7-28 tonight, and replaced my mx.exe with the new one, and made my new shortcut and stuff. Everything works normal, but I went to my personal folder and it says game data not found. I tried looking it up on here and followed other peoples steps, but I just can't seem to figure it out.

When I search : MX Simulator Personal Folder , I try to open, but it says "Can't Find Game Data". So, I right clicked on it, (windows 8 search function), and hit "Open File Location". This is what it looks like:

The mx.exe in there is the updated snapshot. I tried dragging it into the personal folder, shown in the screenshot, but it would not let me. It just continues to say the same "Can't Find Game Data".

If anyone could please help me, that would be great!

You have the mx.exe in the wrong folder. Personal folder, search for "appdata" and go, if it doesn't work, search for "%appdata%". However you may come to a folder called "roaming", in that case you just go up a folder. Otherwise the path to the personal folder is:
"C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\MX Simulator"
Where you want to the mx.exe is the installation folder which is "C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\MX Simulator", you can recognize that folder by it having "zzz(?).saf" files in it and an "mx.exe".

Ok, I'm going to go in order of what I did:
1) I downloaded the snapshot.
2) I put it in my Program Files (x86) MXS Folder
3) I renamed the original one, "mx_orig", and the new mx.exe
4) I took a screenshot in game, but couldn't open my personal folder.

Try to go here: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\MX Simulator, change USERNAME to your username, than paste it in explorer. Otherwise search for %appdata% and you will end up in a folder called "roaming". Than go up a folder, and you will probably have the foders "Local", "LocalLow" and "Roaming". Go into "Local" and than you will find your personal folder "Mx Simulator".

Nevermind, it's like my old personal folder. There were old demos and screenshots in there. I tried to put the "mx.exe" in there but it didn't work. What do I do now?

mx.exe shouldn't be in there, mx.exe shold be in C:\Program Files(x86)\Mx Simulator and in case you're running a 32bit system, C:\Program Files\Mx Simulator

Alright.. Last night I re-downloaded MXS from the email when I bought the game. I just ran the setup thing, and my personal folder was working. My Program Files folder still had all my bikes, tracks, etc. in it, and my personal folder had the screenshots that I wanted in it. Well, just now, I went to play and none of my tracks are in MXS, or my bikes. It's weird, cause they are all in my Program Files folder. Any help?
