Incomplete undo #10

Fire ship projectile stays invisible after setting certain options, then reverting them.

Turned off effects using:

  1. Cogwheel near "Hidden effects" option
  2. "Select All" checkbox under "Texture Effects" list
  3. "Select All" checkbox under "Particle Effects" list
  4. "Disable Selected Effects" button
  5. "Graphics Profile" dropdown -> "High Performance"
  6. "Disable Hidden Effects" option -> "On"

Reset everything to how it was before using:

  1. Cogwheel near "Hidden effects" option
  2. "Restore Everything Back" button
  3. Untick both "Select All" checkboxes, deselecting all individual effect options
  4. "Disable Selected Effects" button (I did this just to make sure, because it was unclear to me how "Restore Everything Back" works with relation to options currently selected)
  5. "Restore Everything Back" button again, just to make sure the previous step didn't accidentally reenable something, despite none of the tick boxes being selected.
  6. "Disable Hidden Effects" option -> "Off"
  7. "Graphics Profile" dropdown -> "Default"

After firing up the game and starting the Lake Pyongyang historical battle scenario, fire emanating from Fast Fire Ships and regular Fire Ships was invisible.

The fix was to use Steam's file integrity check.

A correction: when reverting to previous settings, during step 3., I actually checked and then unchecked the two "Select All" checkboxes. They were unticked by default, even though all individual effect boxes were ticked from previously ticking the 2 aggregate ones.

Correction 2.: the scenario I tried for reproduction was Noryang Point, not Lake Poyang (previously mistyped: "Pyongyang").
