Red Faction: Armageddon uses a clever method to set your inversion preference: w hen you first enter the game, it asks you to look up and then adjusts the controls based on that instinctive input.
I don't remember if this was the game or not, but I tend to set the settings ahead of time, and I specifically recall a game getting to this sort of in-game mechanic of look up/ look down and reversing the setting I had previously set because it assumed I didn't already choose what I wanted (e.g. it re-inverted my reverted settings back to "normal").
My guess is that it tried to fuse together an answer to 2 different procedures: A) completely uninstall and B) (re)install without losing data. It doesn't know what you configured as the data directory, or if it is a default Debian installation. Prompt is too vague.
And there is always at least one person in email chain who puts their signature with company logo, custom fonts and colors to every single reply, making it annoying to try follow the conversation because my email client can't even parse the mess anymore.
System sound properties in Windows 11 has an option "Allow apps and Windows to use this device for audio" and a button labeled "Don't allow" next to it. So what is the current state? I have no idea.
Was your BMW manufactured in the US? Scott Kilmer gave this advice for American car buyers; make sure the BMW or Mercedes-Benz you're looking for was built in Germany! US versions apparently have terrible quality, not even close to EU standards.
