I was able to quickly find and edit affiliate.conf back to blank, after finding your wiki page from a google search. It must have been reset in this update, which has generally not been the case in past updates - so, just in case anyone else came here googling, don't fret! It's an easy fix  |
No, the update did not reset the affiliate. Or at least not directly. The affiliate is checked once a week. If it you change it, it could last for a week of syncs before it is "fixed". If you have had WiFi off for a while and turned it on to get update, the affiliate was probably updated at that time.
There is a workaround. When the affiliate was last checked is stored in the config file. If you set this to a date in the future, it will not be checked until seven days after that date. Adding the following should do it:
Code:
[ApplicationPreferences]
LastAffiliateSyncTime=@Variant(\0\0\0\x10\0%\x94h\x3!>i\x2)
There will probably already be an "ApplicationPreferences" section, so just add the other line in that section. And if you are using Windows, make sure you use a Unix line end aware editor such as Notepad++.
