Greetings Janeator,

I am afraid that I don't have good news as it sounds like your clientsettings.json was corrupted when you lost power. I tested out corrupting mine and the game seems to only load the backup when the original is missing. In the event that the file is corrupt, it overwrites both the main file and backup with the default settings.

I have reported this as a bug as I believe that it was intended that the game use the backup when it's unable to load the main settings file.

The one positive note is that VintageStory does use a SQLite database for its save file format, which is designed to be resistant to corruption from power loss or crashes.

Here hoping it can be addressed, it's a pain in the ass to try and guess the combination of settings i had. Thanks for reporting it!

Not sure why the multiplayer servers list saves together with game settings, and why some hotkeys are only accessible ingame either.
