Heroic completely ignores config file

Neither : %userprofile%/.config/heroic, nor %userprofile%/.config/heroic/config.json, nor %appdata%/heroic/config.json, nor %appdata%/heroic/store/config.json applies saved config. Also Heroic logs does not show how its own config is loaded, but only how subcomponents are loaded (GOG/Amazon/etc..). The Logs obviously does not show any problem with sub components, or any problem at all. Heroic is healthy. The documentation is misleading : Windows: %AppData%\heroic (caching), %UserProfile%\.config\heroic and %UserProfile%\.config\legendary. Nope, at least not anymore, version 2.18.1. Can't import settings after exporting/copy-pasting-it-out.

Note: Heroic does save settings somewhere as it remembers new settings (without saving it anywhere in documented locations)

P.S.: Can't be solved here: Heroic config informations are stored in spread config files. At least documentation needs update. Need to fill issue 1 : documentation is misleading on configuration location Need to fill issue 2 : unable to import/export configuration consistently related dev source files : https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/blob/main/src/frontend/helpers/electronStores.ts https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/blob/main/src/frontend/state/GlobalState.tsx
