Hey!
This is a hotfix to handle cases when the PlayerSettings.json fails to load.
It will make a backup file called PlayerSettings_BACKUP.json and create a new default settings file to use.
If this happens to you, please open the PlayerSettings_BACKUP.json with a text editor and paste the content in a forum post or upload the file on Discord. The file is located in "username"\\AppData\\LocalLow\\Broadside Games\\Battleship Command HD
Cheers!
