Technically not an EB2 bug... help needed though.

After visiting one too many shady websites, I decided it was time for a fresh start.

Formated my drive, reinstalled Windows etc... What I did before that was to copy my EB2 saved games on a flash drive. After reinstalling EB2, I put them back in the EB2 saves folder. Loaded the game, it worked. I did notice something, though. I now have the "follow AI characters on map" setting turned on. It wasn't turned on in the original save. I never play with that setting.
How do I get rid of it?
More importantly, has any other setting changed? I hope nothing happened to the difficulty settings

Can't you simply turn it off from the campaign map 'game options'?

I think there's an option in .cfg too.

This is one of those settings you make before starting a campaign... I'll have a look in the .cfg file

Edit: Nothing stands out...

^I think you can change it throughout the campaign....

Another way:
-open your cfg file in MT2 folder
-uncheck 'read only' if needed
-paste:
[game]ai_factions = skip
-save the changes and check 'read only' again

That setting was already turned on.

What do you guys think about the difficulty? Could it have changed?
I am still early in the campaign, the AI is too passive to tell.... Although stacks are starting to appear everywhere.
Just so you know, I tried checking with Medmanager... it doesn't work on my computer for some reason.
