Important to note that while the file isn't update when you load the game with an old preferences file, the variables/settings in the game are, so the next time you view the settings, change, and save them, the file will be updated (or something like that).

With the current system, changes to the keyboard or preferences files means that things dont work as they should. When beta3 is released, a few reports I'd image will arise regarding the changes mostly to v/SHIFT+V, and the new Unit Settings > Flag Settings.

My suggestion is that we track which version these files belong to, and when starting the game, compare the string. If the file is for a previous version, remove the keyboard files, and delete all lines after scrollWheelEnabled in the preferences file (defaultUnitsAssigned and cloud settings).

Then rewrite the keyboard files, and readd the defaultUnitsAssigned and cloud settings into the preferences file (so the only data left over are username through to scrollWheelEnabled (the important ones IMO).

This will help prevent confusion if we change the keyboard settings or such, and people wonder why they dont have it.
