Hey Guys/Gals
I was flying a mission on the TWC Campaign Server when it crashed at 2020-02-22 06:23:26Z. The mission was July 25 1940 at 1100 hrs. There was 9hrs 13min remaining to the mission.
I waited around for it to restart, but it didn't, so I went onto another server. When I entered the new server, the first thing I noticed was that when I selected the aircraft to fly, it wasn't dressed with my custom skin and all the other settings where back to their default. I selected a different aircraft and it was the same; no custom skins, all default settings. Closer investigation revealed that my convergences and ammunition load-outs were back to default as well. I exited the game and restarted; the problem persisted. I decided to reboot the computer, hoping and praying that it would restore my settings, it did not. The only saving grace is that my key assignments could be reloaded by loading my saved .ini files.
I'm not sure why my load-outs where not saved to my .ini file. I hate to think that I'm going to have to redo them again. If that be the case, how do I get my load-outs to save to my .ini file. I've tried following the instructions that I've read in other posts, by cutting and pasting some load-outs into the section of the .ini file, but that never seemed to work; the custom load-outs never loaded, so I just kept using the ones I had created. When I created a load-out, I would always save it and give it the name of whatever aircraft I was configuring i.e. "Spitfire IIa", but I cannot find those saved files anywhere.
I would appreciate any help that can be offered, as I don't really want to go through that painstaking process of manually changing each and ever gun, on each and every aircraft again. But if I do, it would be nice to know how to save it to an .ini file so it can be called up again, like I'm able to with my key mapping, should this happen again.
Final note: I'm not sure exactly why this happened, there was a recent Steam update. I've not added anything new to my computer, I've not installed any new software other than the Steam update. When I tried going onto another server later this evening, I was in the server for maybe 5 minutes when I was booted again with a message saying "lost communication." Anyone else having these problems?
