When I started mafia up this morning, it opened up the global preferences setting as if I had never run it before. It appears that it is not loading the global preferences or any of the character settings. This has happened to me multiple times in the past and I'm wondering if there is an easy way I can fix it once and for all.
I run mafia from a usb drive, sometimes under Windows (sometimes XP, sometimes 7) and Ubuntu linux (almost always the current version). Under ubuntu, .kolmafia is a symlink to the folder on the USB drive. Most days this works just fine. About once a month or so, mafia just loses all my settings. Log files are no longer recognized by the AscensionLogVisualizer when this happens. It doesn't really interfere with me playing, but it is annoying to have to reset all those settings.
I had backed up mafia to another folder a couple months back, and can see that the savestate.charname lines are missing from Global_prefs.txt. Using diff to compare the two files I find no other differences.
I'm currently running 8411, I update mafia infrequently, usually major releases and when there is support for new content or some problem gets fixed.
Suggestions?
