Summary	0006461: Sometimes config file unexpectedly updates
Description	Sometimes the DarkmodPadbinds.cfg updates in an unexpected way: * Comments are removed (unexpected) * Newlines are removed (unexpected) * A setting, like in_padMouseSpeed "4.0", is removed (unexpected) * Any pad bindings remain (expected) Behavior for DarkmodKeybinds.cfg has not been tested, but may possibly exhibit the same behavior. It appears to happen (sometimes?) after an update (even if updating to the same version).
Additional Information	Exact steps are not availalble, try: * Edit DarkmodPadbinds.cfg, then save it: On a new row, add a comment: // This is a comment On a new row, add a setting: in_padMouseSpeed "4.0" * Start TDM and verify that it works, and that the new mouse speed in GUI is faster than the default value "2.5" * Close TDM * Update TDM (even updating to the same version may work) (don't select to keep config file) * Pad bindings are kept (expected? It is appreciated) * Comments are removed (unexpected) * Newlines are removed (unexpected) * A setting, like in_padMouseSpeed "4.0", is removed (unexpected)

Daft Mugi 26.01.2024 02:59 developer ~0016437	For config like that, including comments and blank lines, the "autoexec.cfg" file should be used instead. The Darkmod.cfg, DarkmodKeybinds.cfg, and DarkmodPadbinds.cfg are managed by the game.
