Annoying that I have to set all settings new after check integrity files. 101 files were new ordered this time.

Interesting I only changed now start new game setup and integrity check orders 2 corrupted files. They are not corrupted they are changed!

The game have been like this from day one... these are game settings files that are in the game folder as opposed to in the user profile game folder where they probably should be.

Whenever you check for integrity these game settings files are also checked as they are part of the game installation files.

In my opinion it should not be done like this... pretty much no other game does it like this and keep the game settings file as a simple XML that can be dynamically updated as the game are updated and never overrite old settings until you do so.

The worst thing is that the key bindings are saved there.

I used to change some bindings to my liking when the game was released. But after a few resets where all keybindings disappeared I stopped adjusting key bindings.

Most annoying for me is to setup at galaxy generation all the empires.

After the files check you can delete these two files, they are zero size and named something like resetsettings. The actual configuration is not changed until you restart the game and it finds these two files.

Nice to know, thx. Will test next time.

There were no such files. My settings are away again thx to new beta update, it's so annoying.

Here are these files:
Steam\steamapps\common\Distant Worlds 2\data
And they named:
deleteGameSettings
deleteGameStartSettings

Please inform us at every beta update, if we can delete these two files, or not.
