Was it so hard to set your configs "read-only"?

It actually does, it protected my configs. All you have to do is make sure you do not run Steam with elevated permissions. The settings were applied to my running copy, but if I restarted my client, I would have my old configs back

Yes it is "that hard to set your config 'read-only'" for those who don't know much about the Windows file system. In fact, setting it read-only is actually anti-productive. So, this update fixes that. We should not be required to set any files read-only to protect ourselves.

Hm, that makes sense, I was testing it while on server, it changed my settings, but I never checked if the config.cfg is in fact changed.

Didn't the developer command still allow writing into a read-only config?

Even if you aren't, the server could still (not sure if it still can) execute the command on you and then edit your config. Read-only option for configs was pretty much useless.
