      I've installed the new update and I got all my preferences deleted.

      This is the 13th time that my settings are resetted, I know that this is an open source thing, but this is time were not my UI mods to get deleted, but my fucking hotkey and templates too !!

      I dunno I used to love this game but now I only see the option to quit it .. u can reinstall your UI mods in a 10 mins but u need a half day to reconfigure all your hotekey..

      FA is not Forever 😞 bye

      one day I will find the supreme commander

            This should not be needed

              edit: nvm, doesn't have anything to do with that setting

              I think they made the "Vault Fallback Location" ticked by default, check if it's on, turn it off and then see if it finds your old gameprefs.

                The client doesn't move or really touch the game.prefs file. All it does is if it detects that on startup that a game.prefs file does not exist in the FA installation directory then it will create a new one.

                So most likely this is a file permissions issue.

                  hi all guys. maybe I made too much of a drama.
                  I re-made the hotkeys manually.. It didn't take so much, but I've learned the lesson to make a backup every once in a while.

                  Btw, is there a folder also for the settings ? they really reset by themselves every damn week..

                    Which settings? And yeah sounds like these files are not readable by the client for some reason so check the file permissions

                      @Sheikah I mean the settings of the client, like notifications off, faction desired for matchmaking etc..

                        Yes then most likely the client can't read the files and then assumes they don't exist
