  2. Verified by User:Silent on 2022-04-24
    This issue is caused by a mismatch of a DWM compatibility shim between the time the config is first saved (with the shim), and when it's read by the game (without the shim). By reconfiguring the game again, configs will be re-saved from a configurator running without that compatibility shim.
