disable moving background in menu
I like this MOD, BUT... I can't play it anymore, the moving background in the menu's make me sick and dizzy. Could the dev make the background to stop move? Thx a lot, if this would be removed I could play this game and the mod for hours/days/weeks! Let me know what you think.

Yes please make a version with the default backgrounds.

I just cannot understand what made them put moving video in the background of the menus. Makes you feel sick and you can't process all the information properly as a result. If that wasn't there it would be a great game. It's unplayable as it is.

Solution found. Problem solved.

There is a fix for PC users. I've been in touch with the mod creator and here are instructions on how to disable the moving background in the Home Screen (menu)

To take away the background video, navigate to < Steam/Steamapps/Workshop/Motorsport Manager/the 2018 mod/Videos > and disable the file called FrontendBackground.bik

Your file address may be different to his. Mine was a lot different:
< Y:\Games\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\workshop\content\415200\1298997179\Videos >

To disable it, just rename the file to: FrontendBackground.bik.disable

By doing that, the file is not removed, in case you want to re-enable it later.

If you are playing Endurance or GT, then you may want to disable the two other "Frontend*.bik" files too.

After I carried out this simple fix, my Home Screen menus were back to normal and were easy to use. I was able to look at my Pit Crew screen clearly again... Yay!

I hope this helps

Happy hunting!

Amazing. I haven't played this game for months because of this issue, but this has rescued it. Actually a good game now!

For your information: You can also use this trick to disable the background video of the normal video, see this thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/415200/discussions/0/1290691937716719288/
