Out of nowhere all my game settings got reset. Suddenly, all my customizations except for keybindings was lost:
- Game dynamic help popups all over the screen
- Various unit selection settings
- In game timer
- Way point settings
- Etc
Fear not, I have a backup for my settings, so I can restore the file I thought to myself.
I copied the configuration_user.lua back into my User subfolder, but it got instantly rewritten by the game. I thought it was steam doing this rewrites, so I made a script which copies the correct content of the file every 10 milliseconds. The game somehow found from somewhere the wrong version and still ignored my settings.
I ended up doing a diff of content and manually changing all the settings one by one in the UI. Really? Why the settings was lost in the first place if the game is so willing to copy the data from somewhere?
