That's absurd, how can they just trash settings for everyoner and not even let ppl know that this is going to happen??? I came back to playing because I thought CCP was trying to be good to players again and now it looks like I can't play even from the very first day of patch?? EvilEvilEvilEvilEvilEvil

Dude.... be happy you can log on the first day of the patch. One hour resetting your settings won't kill you.

They did tell everyone that it was going to happen, it was in the patchnotes. It might help to check if they did warn people before you start accusing them, lol.

Patch notes?? You think something like that can be just left in the patch notes somewhere? This should have been in a blog or newspost! I mean there's a blog talking about localization or something like that, but no blog to warn us to backup our settings?? to hell with this I'm gone bye

Troll is trolling.

If you can't be bothered to read patch notes, then what can anyone possibly say? I'm always excited to read patch notes, because it tells me everything they did. Good bad and otherwise. Roll

They changed the way the UI works to support scaling. Ergo, your old settings are no longer compatible. Backing them up wouldn't help.

Not sure if troll or just stupid.

It was one of the first things in the patch notes; you didn't even have to scroll.

And your stuff... nah, just biomass on the way out.

Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try.
