hello, my question is:

I've already installed the game 2 time. Before you reinstall Steam removed the entire folder from drive c and 1c softclub c / my documents. After installing the game I restored my previous settings. I'm running out of ideas what else to remove to install the game from its factory / original settings.


I wonder if Steam does not store copies of records in each game settings and if so, I ask for a hint as to remove

The question is, why do you keep uninstalling the game ? Then reinstalling ? Seems a pointless exercise to me.

After uninstalling the game from a computer file Steam (and softclub) is still visible. So I'm removing it manually to be sure, and then restarting the computer. I check again and there is nothing on the drive c. You submit the new game and I have the old settings

try user/my documents/ and then there is 1C or steam or something. There is the real conf.ini

Edit: I see you tried that...weird...maybe it is because of steam cloud
