Lost all of my settings due to a "corruption" msg?

Postby BruceLeet » Sun Jul 31, 2022 11:46 am

I was on version 1.3.0.49h and opened up Gruss like normally but was greeted by an error msg saying my settings have been corrupted and to get a new version or something, the software still loaded up but all my settings and ladder layouts etc were completely reset back to default.

Installed the new version right away but my settings are still gone, how do I get them back?

In AppData->Roaming etc folder the file "user_config" seems to have been freshly created today and has probably overwritten the old one, I'm assuming it doesn't backup the previous file somewhere? There is a "user_.config" file of 55 bytes next to it but it has nothing in it.

Does this mean I'm completely stuffed and will have to recreate my perfect profile from scratch?

Sorry, there is no automatic backup. Once you are happy with your settings you can always take a copy of user.config manually.

Sports betting software from Gruss Software


The strength of Gruss Software is that it’s been designed by one of you, a frustrated sports punter, and then developed by listening to dozens of like-minded enthusiasts.

Gruss is owned and run by brothers Gary and Mark Russell. Gary discovered Betfair in 2004 and soon realised that using bespoke software to place bets was much more efficient than merely placing them through the website.

Gary built his own software and then enhanced its features after trialling it through other Betfair users and reacting to their improvement ideas, something that still happens today.

He started making a small monthly charge so he could work on it full-time and then recruited Mark to help develop the products and Gruss Software was born.

We think it’s the best of its kind and so do a lot of our customers. But you can never stand still in this game and we’ll continue to improve the software if any more great ideas emerge.
