Did your ratings bars go missing?

In cases of a file corruption, you may notice that your entire screen goes weird in a game, players cannot display ratings bars, players in PT display 0 ratings for all players, etc...

What has possible happened is a corruption of your user.dat file. What you can do is off the main screen, click the Settings, and then navigate to the Troubleshooting tab. If you click the button called "Open Folder containing app.cfg & engine.cfg", that should open an explorer window for you (alternately, you can often find it by navigating to %appdata% and navigating from there). Then, you need to close your OOTP game, and we would suggest to rename the user.dat file to something else (user.bak, for example). Then, when you load OOTP for the next time, your settings will return to the defaults.

If anything going wrong, you can restore the renamed file, and edit options manually in the Settings menu. But often it is easier to start fresh.
