Changed Gamespy password, forgot old one for TDU

[Zenith]

Ok, here is the deal. I changed password for my Gamespy profile to be able to play TDU 2 Beta. Since I forgot old password I reseted in Gamespy and got new one. TDU2 beta works fine. But my profile for TDU 1 now has invalid password when going online since I changed it for TDU2 :rolleyes: I get message:"This nickname is in use with another password."

 

Is there any way to find out what password was I using before changing it? Maybe profile files have written this somewhere, but DAT files have some encoding which doesn't make sense.

 

Anyone solved this problem before? Please :sulk:

 

Hopefully I won't be needing to restart my online profile from the begining. I have almost champion rank, lot of money and load of cars.

 

Thanx.

Try backing up your save game, then moving it out of the TDU folder. Create a new profile (With the same name as yours) and then move your savegame back.

 

IIRC, the username and password are stored in the profilelist.dat file.

Thanx for reply. I will do that when I get home. I have backed up my savegame regurally, but failed with this passwords. Profile DAT has written in it username NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL. I guess this nuls mean password?

I had the same problem about a year ago. I tried loads of things to get it working, but I had to start again, as the devs never coded the ability for us to change passwords (one of the wonderful consequenses of console ports).

 

I also contacted Atari Customer Support (Australia, Europe, and USA) via email and have received no replies.

 

I posted in the new TDU2 forumes about this asking them to make sure it doesn't happen again in TDU2. That said, I don't think TDU2 uses Gamepsy (it asks for your TDU2.com forum password), so I'm not sure what you're on about there anyway.

I saw your problem on TDU2 forums. Same as mine and you can't do anything about it? Oh my. Well, I will try with a method Sponge described. I just hate this GFWL, Gamespy online tags. It create problems only.
