SlipBall, thanks for your help. We've had house guests so I haven't been able to get back to CLOD.

I did as you said, edited the file to delete what I assume was the default loadout, which left my modified and desired loadout at the top of that section of the file (below that were several other of my modified loadouts). Saved the file and tried the game. Never got tracers. Each time I checked the user.ini the default loadout was back in, ahead of my modified loadout.
So, am I supposed to delete the default and all my modified loadouts except the one I want? Or am I doing something wrong that allows the default loadout to be automatically put into the ini file?

Thanks again for your patience and assistance.
