New Station Launcher Install Lost Game Settings

[superp25]

<p>So, after installing the "new and improved" Launchpad that is supposed to "retain you game settings" surprise! My game setting are gone!</p><p>I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and get the same thing, my game setting back to the defaults.  [Removed for Content]?!</p><p>The installer directed me to a webpage with a plug in to install which did not help either.  The new launchpad also installs itself in a new directory called "Sony Online Entertainment" that is separate from my existing "Sony" directory with all of my Everquest files.  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it in the Sony directory and that did not work. </p><p>After a week and a half of no voice and now this, I will never trust another update or improvement to this game ever again.  One shouldn't have to jump through all these hoops just to update a feature. </p><p>Any assistance will be appreciated as I am not going to reset all of my setting so I will be unable to play until i get this resolved. </p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Another loyal player and subscriber frustrated yet again. </p>

<p>Specifically, UI settings and performance settings.  Going to try the change install location preferences to move files to Sony/Everquest 2 and see if that works. </p><p>Thanks</p>
