This is for players that have problems with their settings being saved.
I wrote a utility that fixes that Funcom character settings XML files that don't get uploaded properly.
The old method that you use to manually fix this (deleting all your chat tabs one by one) is no longer needed. This utility won't mess up your chat tabs or any other preferences.
The problem with the Funcom Windows.xml file is that it keeps a small history of each chat tab (which also gets sent to Funcom). As players type more and more into the various chat windows, the XML gets too big to get stored on Funcoms servers. This removes the users chat history from the settings files so that they are small enough to be saved once again, and prevent AgeOfConan from overwriting it with their version of it temporarily while it has been cleaned.
To use it,
- start the AOC Settings Save Fix utility, and
- before logging into the game world (from character select screen is fine) press the BEGIN button, and YES to confirm that you're not logged in yet
- Log into your character, and when you're able to look around in game, press the STEP 2 button
- Adjust your bars/windows/settings however you like
- log out - make sure you let the logout timer countdown all the way down without pressing the exit button - and you've fixed one of your characters!
The utility is attached to this post.
