    Default Preference file

    How do?

    When I open my preference file, MTW2 1.2, it's empty apart from four lines of rubbish so I have to play with the crappy green arrows, anybody know what's up with this? I've got vista.

    Cheers.

    It's the preference.cfg which you must open.
    If that's the one you opened, then play the game once (load it once, I mean) and after that you can configure preference.cfg

    Yep, I know all that, I've been playing for a month, but the file is still empty, it doesn't make any sense. Cheers anyway.

    When I use notepad to open preference.cfg there's nothing in there, just four lines of rubbish text at the top, I don't know if it's something to do with vista or what, I used to muck about with it all the time with RTW but that was when I had XP, the green arrows do my swede in!

    I was going to ask this somewhere else but this is close enough to my question, what line do I edit in the Pref. File to turn of the green circles? I've found the banner one but the banners don't bother me.

    Open it as a textpad. It will have lots of lines then (or it should)

    [game]
    disable_arrow_markers = 0

    0= False
    1= True

    same for everything.

    Interesting.

    Not sure what to say, but to suggest that you add in the lines you want under the correct headings anyway...
