AEftP Team Statistics

[Traute Springer-Yakar]

I wanted to reset statistics when starting over with a  new team and removed the saves of my past teams from the AEftP directiory in Documents, but that didn't work. Do I have to uninstall and reinstall the game to reset statistics??

That would probably be the least complicated way of doing so, especially if, as it sounds you don't care about previous game/s.

 

I 'think' there's a way to do so in one of the game files, but you have to mess with the coding...which if you screw it up ... will  have you reinstalling the game again anyway.

 

I know with medals/awards you sometimes have to play again but making different choices to get them all.  That may be why you can't reset things (although resetting stats would be good -or have two screens, one for the current game and one for cumulative games).

I'd guess they are stored in the Settings.dat file from the saved games directory, but maybe not.  Did you wipe that along with the saved games?

I had a look at settings.dat, it consists of just a few characters looking a lot like chinese characters. I guess I could delete it after uninstalling, but there may be another copy in the depth of my user directory.

I didn't delete the saves of my recent games, but copied them to another directory. As I love searching for caches it isn't very helpful if settings still show shovelmaster though my current team is only three quarters through the game.

It's my fifth combo, by the way, and I may just try a single char.

Thanks for your help, TriRodent  and Dry Peak, Soggy Bottom.

FYI - as the ".dat" might suggest, it's a data file.  The contents are not stored in text form, so opening it with a text editor won't make clear the values that are stored in it.

[Traute Springer-Yakar]

Off course. But I tried anyway.

Before starting over this time I exported settings.dat along with the saves. It worked, the stat page was wiped clean.
