I am also seeing the same behaviour since the latest update. To reproduce:

  1. Open the FTB App
  2. Relocate the instances folder (in my case to my games drive E:\FTBInstances)
  3. Close the app
  4. Re-open the app - the instances folder has reset back to %localappdata%\.ftba\instances

Whatever recently got changed in the config handler logic needs bug checking/reverting.

When would you like the debug logs to be taken? Just after changing the instances folder? After the app restart, when the folders reset?

Could you send over the settings.json from /storage in the .ftba folder after you have edited the config but before you close the app, then the same file after closing the app, then again after starting the app?

The bug seems to have now vanished for me (fingers crossed). I wasn't keeping track of app versions (my bad) so there may have been an update pushed that I didn't notice. The only other thing I've done since was update my NVIDIA drivers, Windows Update and reboot a few times.
