I've played solo games on 'impossible' loot to see how it goes, but now all solo games regardless of settings are stuck on impossible loot. I can change the loot settings and even set it on easy mode with 'infinite' loot, but it doesn't change anything.
I test this by going straight to the hardware store and the shelves are always completely empty, not a single tool. I unistalled both the demo and the game, deleted both the 'vein demo' and 'vein' folders from my c:/program files/steam/steamapps/ to get rid of any config files, reinstalled just the game (no demo) and the settings remain even though all my other custom settings are reset.
What else can I do to clear any old game settings?
