Lee, in thinking about your particular situation, it seems like it's the "history.dat" file that is still intact whereas it's the "ratingsrecord.dat" file that has been corrupted. So instead of restoring everything, it seems as if replacing the "ratingsrecord.dat" file with the one that seems the most complete and not fiddling with anything else might be the best way to go.

(The three files I routinely create backup copies of after any changes or repeated sessions are "history.dat," "fighters.dat" and "ratingsrecord.dat").

Preface this with the same caveat as in all my other posts, I am not a computer expert by any means!!!

Also recommend you send personal email to Andreas or post on the lead thread about the 2.0.25 patch to let him know that this bug is still persistent (I am assuming you are playing with the most recent 2.0.27 patch because his initial post there suggested he fixed the bug which is certainly not the case, based on several recent posts here -- not just yours).
