In cases where you cannot start the game at all anymore or you want to reset all settings (including the ones not being reset as part of the in-game restore), you can manually trigger the reset as follows.

1. Make sure

   X Rebirth

   X4 is NOT running.

2. Open the Windows Explorer and enter "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Egosoft\

   X Rebirth

   X4" (without the quotes).

3. You should end up in the

   X Rebirth

   X4 user folder here. If you are running the game via Steam, you'd see a subfolder consisting of only numbers (which is your SteamID). In this case, switch into this folder (for example this might result in: C:\Users\[WindowsUserName]\Documents\Egosoft\

   X Rebirth

   X4\[SteamID]).

4. Inside the folder you'd find a config.xml file. Make a backup of the file (in case you need to restore it at some later pointer) and then remove the file.

5. Start

   X Rebirth

   X4.

The game will then recreate the config file using the current defaults.
