Default GCA issues

Hello everyone,

I'm not sure if this is in the right place, but I'm having issues with popup menus in the character assistant apparently appearing off screen. In the view menu, all of the options appear on screen but the "Loadout Manager". In the character creation windows, all but the edit windows seem to be ok. When I try to bring up the edit window of anything, from skills, to equipment, the window is off screen.

Some notes:
dual-monitor
Windows 10 system
quad-core 4 Ghz processor

This can happen when the window gets planted somewhere off screen, most often when you have multiple monitors and change the configuration somehow. If you do have multiple monitors try opening the missing window and then go into the Windows display settings and move the position of the secondary monitor around and apply, you may be able to find the missing window and reposition it onto your main monitor.

Otherwise the fix is to either edit the GCA.ini file to remove the incorrect window position (simply open in Notepad.exe) or to delete the GCA.ini file which will reset all GCA settings to default. Instructions for finding the GCA.ini file or deleting it can be found in the GCA4 FAQ.

If you want to go the route of editing the GCA.ini file once you've found it (per above) look for the lines which have Top= and Left= in them, i.e.:
ModsTop=
ModsLeft=
and set the values to 0

I believe the settings you're looking for specifically are:
EditItemsSimpleTop=
EditItemsSimpleLeft=
LoadOutTop=
LoadOutLeft=

Deleting the .ini file fixed it. Thank you so much!!!

I seem to be plagued with issues of late. When I try to create a racial template, it gives me an error, and crashes GCA. I'll get a screeny ASAP, and get it in here.

Ok.
So, I'm creating the template and saving it as a file that can be used in GCA. How do I get it to where it's not adding all of the advantages and disadvantages into those lists - doubling the cost of the template?
