I know some of you own Race 07 like I do.Well Steam decided to convert the files.

Of course this has not gone over perfectly so you are going to have to go through Race 07 and every expansion you own so that they fully convert.Simply checking Race 07 will not get everything.
On its own Steam will not fully convert every expansion so you will have to either verify cache for each and every expansion or try and launch each expansion to get everything back.

For me at least Steam had to D/L every single expansion as well as the base game files for Race 07 and it some how missed Retro.Pretty much the next time you want to play Race 07 you are going to have take up two or three hours getting all the files.

Personally I only play Race 07 once or twice a month when I start to feel like The Stig.So it was kind of a pain to have wait for a few hours to play and extra 30 minutes to get back the Retro pack got missed.The Stig does not understand the meaning of wait.

All of my settings got reset as well which is a pain as I had specific dead zones for my controller face buttons so I could simulate shuffling the gas and brake pedals not to mention certain buttons being up and down shift and clutch.

Just a heads up for Race 07 players.

EDIT:

Hmmm I can no longer find Laguna Seca very annoying that is my favorite track.It was here before.

It was part of Race ON I thought.Oh no wait Steam missed that one too even tough it says that it D/Led that one.

It is when they do things like this that Steam annoys me.

Convert to a more efficient format inefficiently that is the way to do it.
