Not sure what is happening, but every time I now log into game,I am taken back to the initial installation routine of setting it up for the first time. Help, this is driving me crazy ????
Parce
You can open the usersettings.txt file and edit a line to fix this. Let me see what it is, and I'll edit it in shortly.
Okay, open the file in a text editor (like notapad); the two lines in my file are found at lines 262 and 263.
These are what mine look like currently, and I'm not having the problem you are:
SET ViewedAddOnEULAVersion "5"
SET AcceptedAddOnEULAVersion "5"
Make sure your file is NOT set "read only". Change those lines in your file as needed. Save the file, and make sure it's not read only after saving too.
If that doesn't work, you might need to post in the tech support forum. And - this is for windows; I have no idea at all how to fix it on console.
Thanks

Bill, thanks for your reply
The settings in usersettings were correct. However, I discovered, that the correct version was on my microsoft one drive, which had stopped synching. The usersettings on my hard drive was not correct. After the Feb update, the wrong version of the usersettings file was being accessed, thus causing the issue.
Best Wishes John
