How do I get back to default settings?

from GalCiv2 Forums

just stumbled upon this game and bought Ultimate Edition at a local game shop.  i've been screwing around with different options and settings and and since i'm just trying to figure stuff out, once i exit the game I DO NOT want the settings around the next time i select NEW game.  come on, i'm not loading a save game or "resuming", i want a new game, as in all new settings (duh).

so, anyone know a way to start a fresh game with all default settings rather than have settings i made last game still in place?  is there a 'clear all' button/command or does the game use something like a cookie that i could clear?

thanks for any  help!

The easiest way to reset everything back to the default state should be deleting the file Prefs.ini which should be located at "My Documents/My Games/GC2TwilightArnor/" (depending on the actual chapter you're playing). I didn't try that but I think it should work.

If you just want to reset specific settings (e.g. the galaxy setup options) it seems to be fine to just delete these entries from the file (e.g. the section under [GalaxySetup]).

I don't guarantee that this doesn't cause any problems though, so don't blame me if you have to reinstall your game afterwards.
