Random startup oddity.

[KainsChylde]

For some reason, every other time I launch the game by any means (FOMM Launch button, 4gb launcher, NVSE launcher, game shortcut, etc.) it will bring up the first-time startup screen and reset all of my .ini files. Anyone have any idea why it's doing that?

[ChancellorKremlin]

Are you using anything like stutter remover, enb, d3ds9.dll or anything else that adds an ini file to your root folder? FNV configator maybe,things like that?

It does that, if Steam isn't loaded. Happens to me frequently too, if I forget to load up Steam after a reset. But my inis don't reset, that sounds terrible.

Every time the launcher starts, it copies the Fallout_default.ini to your save folder as Fallout.ini, and I really want to know who thought that was a smart idea.

I am using stutter remover, and configator. I also have DarnUI so I have to edit the ini for the fonts.

[ChancellorKremlin]

Stutter remover used to do that for me, and I never really noticed any difference with it on or off. I take it this isn't steam related like suggested above?

[zippy57]

Replace fallout_default.ini with your edited version so the automatic overwrite doesn't change anything.

Well I was just able to run the game normally, and steam was loaded at the time. So loading steam first may be the solution, gotta try it a few more times to be sure it is the actual fix. And thanks for the idea, Zippy, I'll try that too.
