Here, you try to restore the old settings from the previous version by coping the folders content into the folder of the new/current version.

⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️

NOTE: This MUST be done with Faster CLOSED or the config will not 'take' and will simply be overwritten with data from the open instance of Faster.

The file specifically needed is the config.user file.

The Sentries contains steam auth tokens and stuff like this, which you should not need to copy.

If this doesnt work, your profile might be corrupted. Press F.

Faster deletes server profiles from old version.

The tactical ping data type was changed between 1.9d and 1.9e. This results in Faster deleting the entire server profile. To workaround, the tactical ping setting must be set for every profile before closing faster. If not done, all (effected?) server profiles will be deleted. To recover, copy the user.cfg from and old version of faster and apply changes to tactical ping.
