Do you happen to have both the Russian and English versions installed? I noticed something similar when I did. Also, have you confirmed that the problem is that your config files are being overwritten with the originals? If so, it may help to disable the steam auto-update feature for CoD and only re-enable it when patches arrive.

Can't offer anything further helpful (sorry) but how did you get the 'digital' readouts?
