I visit /home/henrik/.openttd/openttd.cfg

I can start the game with the original cfg file with the -D flag.

I transfer the cfg from my old Windows server to the new server. I make sure not to replace the old file, but rename it to "openttd_advertise1.cfg". The config contains a number of NewGRFs.

I start with:

openttd -D -c /home/henrik/.openttd/openttd_advertise1.cfg

The game starts, and it works with the cfg.

I close the server, and then copy a new file to the directory: "openttd_UKRS.cfg".

openttd -D -c /home/henrik/.openttd/openttd_UKRS.cfg

The game starts, and it does not load ANY NewGRFs (but the rest of the settings seem to work).
I close down the server and open the file in Nano.

"openttd_UKRS.cfg" does now look exactly like "openttd_advertise1.cfg". It has during the server start/stop been overwritten with the old file.

To make sure this is not related to some command i have missed out on, i delete -all- of the config files.
I then return to my Windows computer, rename "openttd_advertise1.cfg" to "openttd.cfg" and add it to the Linux server. I start the server without the -c flag (since it then will choose openttd.cfg).

It starts the game with no NewGRF's, and when i close down the server and re-open openttd.cfg - it was been re-overwritten with the data from "openttd_advertise1.cfg". A file that notably does not exist in the directory until then.
