Please make sure you’ve selected the correct game from the dropdown menu in the Recording application. > **Note:** If your game launches via a launcher window, wait until the full game window has loaded before starting a new session. ##### 3) Restart TopMod QA If the issue persists, restart the Recording application to ensure your user configuration has been initialized correctly. ##### 4) Delete TopMod QA Configuration file If restarting doesn’t resolve the issue, you may need to manually delete the TopMod QA configuration file. Follow these steps: 1. Open the **Start** menu and launch the **Run** dialog (Windows + R). 2. Type `%appdata%` and click **OK**. This will open the **Roaming** AppData folder in File Explorer. 3. Navigate to the root AppData folder by clicking on `AppData` in the address bar. The full path should look like: C:\\Users\\\[YourUsername\]\\AppDat 4. Open the `Local` folder, then the `topmod` folder. 5. Delete the file named `config.pb`. 6. Restart the TopMod QA Recording application. ##### 5) Reinstall recording application & restart host PC If none of the above steps work, reinstall the Recording application and restart your computer. **Still having trouble?** If you continue to experience issues, please contact our support team at support@topmodqa.com.
