Profile settings wiped on game start
Assigned, WishlistPublic

Description

When loading the game with an addon that contains an invalid function filepath my profileNamespace settings are gone.

Hopefully this issue can help to find the underlying cause of this behaviour, as I'm sure it's not specific to this scenario. However I can reproduce this 100% of the time in this way.

Hello, could you please provide a addon showcasing this issue? Thank you.

Sorry adam, it seems I can no longer reproduce this with the same steps.

I think it must have been something relating to the specific addon I was loading before because I consistently reproduced it 6 times in a row.

I will attach the .vars.Arma3Profile file I had before it was wiped (yay for backups) and what I believe is the incorrectly packed addon I was using at the time.

Is there a way to retroactively make an issue private? I can't find one.
