Troubleshooting: Game can't see PPP folders

If the game can't see your PPP folders when you're trying to load your game plan or profile, run this command on the folder the game can't see to remove the read-only flag:

Code: Select all

attrib -r /d "E:\SIERRA\FbPro98\PNFL\2047\*"


Apparently, one way this can occur, is if you add the 2047 folder into Google Drive to be backed-up\synced. It should be noted that removing the folder from Drive apparently does not cause the read-only flag to be removed. Of course.

If that helps with the a folder but files or subfolders are still not displayed, then run this command to remove the read-only flag from everything in the directory tree.

Code: Select all

attrib -r /s /d "E:\SIERRA\FbPro98\PNFL\2047\*"

The first one doesn't always work. Best to just go with the 2nd one:

Code: Select all

attrib -r /s /d "E:\SIERRA\FbPro98\PNFL\2047\*"

Or run it directly on the PNFL folder if you still open old PPPs:

Code: Select all

attrib -r /s /d "E:\SIERRA\FbPro98\PNFL\*"

Also, it appears you can access these folders and files in the game after running these commands even if you continue syncing the folders with Google Drive, although Drive could always mark the folders read-only again later.

You may also have to remove the archive flag as well. Sometimes moving files to/from thumb drives/cds, can cause that to get set.
