So tekkan, I remove all my Nomadsoft folders, yet when I reinstall RAT it still seems to be finding some configuration somewhere.
Any ideas?
 
Nothing I can think of, those folders are literally the only place I know of and I've done this many times. Make sure that you do both the Roaming and Local folders.

I know it's way too late, yet I wanted to point out something I just found out today through trial and error. After uninstalling 7D2D RAT, you need to "Verify integrity of tool files" within the Steam application.

RAT doesn't change the game files other than the serverconfig.xml so it has to be a coincidence, but.... glad that worked. I've had to do that myself a few times.

I'm not sure why but Steam "fixed" 11 files. Maybe something I did while messing around getting everything running.
