@@ -19,7 +19,10 @@ All Platforms:
 - Core Design Changes (Game Configuration)	
 	- Game ID is now exposed to the user and can be changed.  This feature is mainly for developer and contributer usage.
 	- Game ID is generated automatically by GBM or acquired from an import, the user doesn't need to set it unless they want to.
-	- Game ID is now used to name game backup files and folders.
+	- Game ID (instead of Game Name) can now be used to name backup files and folders.  
+		- GBM will continue to use the name by default for ease of use.
+		- This behavior can be toggled in the "Backup and Restore" section of Settings.
+		- Using the game Name for backup files has a minor risk associated with it. See "Known Issue #2 and #5" for more details.
 	- Game Name can now contain any character.
 	- When a game is deleted via Game Manager (or sync), all backup manifest entries for that particular game are now deleted. The backup files themselves are not.
 	- The Game Manager now syncs changes to the remote database immediately, instead of only when closed.
@@ -73,15 +76,15 @@ Known Issues:
 	- The local backup manifest data for the changed game(s) on that PC will be lost.  GBM will see any backups for the changed game(s) as new and will handle them accordingly.
 	- Any processes assigned to the changed games(s) on that PC will be lost.
 	Once your PCs are back in sync, this will no longer be an issue unless you are constantly changing your Game IDs, which is not recommended.
-2.  Backup files made prior to v1.1.0 are not being renamed or removed when a new backup is created.
+2.  Backup files are not being renamed or removed when a new backup is created.
-	- This is due to file name now being generated by the Game ID and not the name.  
+	- This happens on the first backup after toggling between using the Name or ID for your file names.  It's best to choose one setting and stick with it.
-	- Only backups made prior to v1.1.0 are affected by this issue.
-	- After new backup files are created, these files can be deleted at the user's discretion.
 3.  Configurations on the official game list are no longer fully compatible with older GBM versions.  
 	- Technically they will work.  But any game imported with a special character in it's name, such as a colon, will not create backup files correctly.
 	- These characters can be manually removed from the game name after importing, then the configurations will function properly.
 4.  The error "The requested operation requires elevation" occurs when GBM tries to launch a process associated with a game.
 	- This means the process you're trying to launch with GBM requires administrator privilege.
 	- Click the blue "user" icon on the bottom left of the GBM window to quickly switch to administrator mode.
+5.  Game configurations using the same name, and configurations that end up with the same name when special characters are stripped will overwrite each other's backup files.
+	- For most users this should be a non-issue.  Toggle "Use Game ID for folder and file names" to on in the Settings screen if this is a problem for you.
