V2.3.1.0
Whats fixed:
– GameSetting ‘ran_showNames’ not found and ran_showDetails not found errors are gone
– Root cause: g_gameSettings doesn’t support arbitrary mod keys. Show/hide preferences are now saved to Documents/My Games/FarmingSimulator2025/modSettings/RealisticAnimalNames.xml, which is the correct FS25 pattern and persists across savegames
– Replaced bullet character • (Unicode 8226) in mod description with – to eliminate font texture warnings

Upgrade Notes:
– Settings from previous versions will reset to defaults once (show names: on, show details: on). After that they save and restore correctly.
