It is three things:
1. People can not create new config's.
2. People can not edit the config settings that are there. They will not save.
3. The Config's that came back were not the last ones saved. Thus number 2 is an issue because you can not edit them.
I am guessing this has to do with Origin shutting down and the config files were probably saved against origin based profile servers which were shut down and it took time to remap the location and restore configs. Likely your team removed the source and had to restore from a backup. The problem is the logic to edit and create will still be pointing to the old setup.
