config.cfg was changed on restart

[seeh]

my config is very well maintained and a bit changed in all places. unfortunately it is sometimes simply overwritten with standard values.

it usually happens when i update a mod or accidentally activate an older version of a mod.

- How can I prevent this from happening again in the future?
- I would also like to keep the access data in a separate file. how does it work?

i copied some of the data in user.cfg and the rest to local.cfg=>restarted=> works.

user.cfg :

autociv.data.playersBox = "xxxxxxxxxxxx"
lobby.buddies = "xxxxxxxxxxxx"
lobby.login = "xxxxxxxxxxxx"
lobby.password = "xxxxxxxxxxxx"
playername.multiplayer = "xxxxxxxxxxxx"
playername.singleplayer = "xxxxxxxxxxxx"
userreport.enabledversion = "1"
userreport.id = "xxxxxxxxxxxx"

to test it changed playername.singleplayer => works.local.cfg

 

UPDATE 2021-1227_1929-52

it selects also idle-builder when CC or Barack is selected (

hotkey.selection.idlebuilder = "Ctrl+C", "Ctrl+B", ... )

local.cfg
