Missing UT2004.ini file

[Rick B]

    Anybody have a idea why my UT2004.ini file suddenly disappeared? I 
was playing online for a couple hours, then shut the game down and after 
one hour tried to restart the game and it complains about not being able 
to find the UT2004.ini file. The following is from my UT2004.log file:
