Two nicknames on ranking

Why "TurboSliders.com Official Ranking Server" put all my lap records to another profile? There are two Whiplashs on ranking now.

Oh, i uninstaled my game ones. Can it be because of that, and can it be fixed?

WARNING: It's recommended to use only one nickname, in order to be correctly ranked. Turbo Sliders offers the possibility to set up multiple player profiles. But using always the same one is quite tricky. Using the same nick name doesn't mean it's exactly the same player. To use always the same player (name & ID), back up your 'players.da2' (inside the TurboSliders '/data/' folder). That file contains all profiles. If you use multiple computers, copy that file to other PC's too.

Double nicknames are merged manually every now and then. So you need to wait some time to see that happening.

{TS INSTALLATION FOLDER}/data/players.da2
That file contains player profiles configured in the game.

If you use that file in all your installations, player ID will result the same. Make a backup -> save that file and copy it in all installation directories.
