new "Reset Settings" function does nothing

[tatsujb]

this function fails to do what it's text implies it would do.

clients.pref files being missing will erroneously trigger this window instead of just writing new clients.pref

pressing the "Yes" button in this prompt in a case where clients.pref is missing will result in nothing happening and FAF client being permanently unable to init until the .faforever folder is deleted entirely correctly triggering a total recreation of this folder including client.prefs

First:
Asking the user is needed some might wanna backup their settings...
Second:
The button is gonna delete the client.prefs file that is intended like that. The functionality would be too much some ppl would need to redownload coop etc.

Could u send me the log of this happening? I mean u said the client.prefs are missing anyway... So the prompt is simply wrong... I would assume it is some permission error that the client can not read or write the none existing client.prefs file and instead of showing that error it shows this prompt

yeah I'll get you a log when I get home tonight.

it's not supposed to currently be possible for the client to be stuck in an infinite init loop like it is if client.prefs is the only file missing, right?

I mean I don't think this is intended behavior.

Well if it is missing it is created

[1-alex98]

And when I should guess what happens in your case is that the client is unable to create it

Most likely user permissions error
