[1.16.5] Config generates .bak copy every time the game starts up.

[Gbergz]

Title ^

In newer versions of Forge the config file for Immersive Petroleum generates a new config with the file extension .bak each time the game starts.

Example:

I know this happens/happened to other mods but got fixed after awhile, think it has to do with some recent forge changes.

Minecraft: 1.16.5
Forge: 36.0.46
Immersive Petroleum: 3.1.0-2

Looks like it's generating an invalid config by default, so it keeps generating it over and over?

Should be fixed in 1.16.5-3.2.0-3

Keeping this open tho, just incase

[Rodg88]

Ah i didn't see the update, I'll test it

[Gbergz]

Should be fixed in the Forge version 36.0.53+
Changelog note: Automatically fix some issues with configurations deemed invalid for simple reasons

Edit: Haven't received any more .bak files when updating forge.

In 3.2.0-3, it's now that serverconfig that is reloading
[16Mar2021 01:57:42.955] [Thread-1/WARN] [net.minecraftforge.fml.config.ConfigFileTypeHandler/CONFIG]: Configuration file /Users/Rodger/My Games/GDLauncher/instances/E6 0.4/saves/World/serverconfig/immersivepetroleum-server.toml is not correct. Correcting
But if forge is fixing it on their end, may not be a real issue

[Gbergz]

Ah yeah, actually it still does it there. Didnt notice. However the main config is fixed with the recent forge updates.

I'm making a note that this is still an active issue with 1.16.5-3.2.0-3, with the reloading serverconfigs. My world lags out and ends up being frozen in a constant state of 'correction'
