*Enabled by default*\n  - *Works only if the previous setting is enabled*\n  - The program will re-enable Ubisoft Connect cloud save synchronization before quitting\n\n- **Check for updates on startup**\n  - *Disabled by default*\n  - The program will connect to GitHub servers to check if the current version is up to date\n\n- **Remember window position**\n  - *Disabled by default*\n  - The program will remember the window position the last time GHOST Buster was used\n\n- **Manually locate installed game**\n  - *Disabled by default*\n  - You can specify a different location for the Wildlands executable\n\n- **Write events to a log file**\n  - *Disabled by default*\n  - The program will log all events (such as Errors and Warnings) to a file\n  -
