do XML changes no longer do anything on exitsting map?

[kryzzk]

I have been playing A18, new game after the public release, without changing anything to see what I needed to adjust, When I did start making changes however I noticed that the changes I am making to the XML files are not doing anything, the game continues to load the old settings, does it load a different set of XMLs for the save?

 

I have added a few custom recipes, changed the traders times, removed zombie jump, run, ect.

 

I have altered the XMLs on every version of the game, this is the first time I have had the changes not take effect. I have already checked that the game did not reset them and I have reset them myself (verified game files) and tried again. I looked but I don't see a new set of XMLs anywhere, but the game doesn't seem to be loading the ones in the Data folder unless I start a new game, and then any changes after the game is started have no effect.

 

 

Any help would be great, thanks.
