cfg always overwritten

Issue #42 closed
the eo created an issue

Config file is always wiped upon save or next launch.

I can only get 1.3 not to touch my config in the meantime by setting the file to read-only.

    Do you mean that it's overwritten or its contents are actually erased? Q2 engine games ALWAYS overwrite the .cfg file every time they exit. Settings you don't want overwritten should go in an autoexec.cfg file.

    I've had this problem personally a few times where it would completely overwrite with a new default config. Only from a fresh compile and it's extremely rare. Has maybe happened two or three times. Unsure what causes it.

    I ran into a way to reproduce this. I can't remember if it's daikatana.cfg or default.cfg. If one of those was missing it would overwrite all cfg files in the data dir with nothing in them.

    Will try and peek more into that.
