We had several cases reported where AML users complained about no mods being loaded. Turned out they had -regenerateinis enabled.

It would probably be good to show an informational dialog about what that does when starting the game.

EDIT: Maybe implement a solution similar to what was suggested in #59 instead.

Considering #59 I would suggest the following:

  • Provide a check box "Reset configuration"
    • Located on the right to the game launch buttons
    • Tooltip-Text: "Enabling this settings will reset the game configuration as soon as you start the game. Cleaning the configuration files can help resolving mod issues in some cases."
  • If game gets started with -regenrateinis parameter enabled (which "Reset configuration" implicitly does) issue a warning dialog
    • "You either enabled the "Reset configuration" option, or explicitly enabled the "-regenerateinis" parameter. This will reset the game configuration (graphics, sound, key-bindings etc.) and also start the game without mods. Do you want to continue? [Yes] [No]"
  • Automatically disable "Reset configuration" and remove -regenerateinis from argument list after game was startet.
