Logged in yesterday after the patch without any issue. Go to login today and apparently the launcher decided to completely overwrite my settings INI's and now I've lost all customizations. Anyone else have this problem?

    And now I'm getting "computer is not authorized" when attempting to login. Talk about years of customizations gone down the drain in an instant.... extremely irritated right now...

    This hasn't happened to me though fortunately I back up the entire bunch of game and settings folders/files before any patch.

    Unfortunately I thought I had them backed up but the backup is over 2 years old :(:(

    Oh dear. That's not very helpful then! Hopefully you'll be able to at least start from what's in there for a baseline.

    iirc, I think I have seen that happen before, but not with every update. It is why I keep a copy of that file.

    Greetings,

    This thread has been moved to the PC Technical Support section, as it is better suited there.

    Thank you for your understanding.
