Whenever I change the values in my Handling.dat file, my loading screen always loops. I'm trying to change the wbias value to -9 on all cars to play carmageddon. I've managed to do it successfully on one car once(cabby) so i know it is possible. I have a flashed(Lt 3.0) retail Xbox(no jtag). I keep the file the same size as the original(41,386) and still no luck. Any help will be appreciated because I know im doing something wrong.

here's the download link to the original and modded handling.dat in a zip file.

what else did you change?
I figured out that the game does work when I delete the updates for it. So I went back and changed the default.dat to bypass the update. What I did was rename the handling.dat file to handlinx.dat and changed the name to handlinx in the default.dat pathway to handling. I get a freezing black screen when the game loads so I did something wrong again.

Also helps if you have a saved game and also if you rebuild the common.rpf

And try running open iv or spark iv as administrator.

rebuilding the archive when only replacing a file in the common doesn't do anything to cause corruption. OP must have edited something wrong in the file. even though the file size is original, he still could have messed something up.
