@suuus93 It looks like they're only created on first run. You can create them yourself. This is more or less the standard generated file, for both ra2.ini and ra2md.ini:

[Intro]
Play=no

[Options]
GameSpeed=3
Difficulty=1
ScrollMethod=0
ScrollRate=3
AutoScroll=yes
DetailLevel=2
SidebarCameoText=yes
UnitActionLines=yes
ShowHidden=no
ToolTips=yes

[Video]
ScreenWidth=800
ScreenHeight=600
StretchMovies=no

[Audio]
SoundVolume=0.700000
VoiceVolume=0.700000
ScoreVolume=0.400000
IsScoreRepeat=no
IsScoreShuffle=no
SoundLatency=9
InGameMusic=yes

[Network]
Socket=65535
NetCard=0
NetID=ffcf,ffdf,ffcf,

So yeah... make a new text file for each config file, make sure to rename the extension from .txt to .ini, paste that stuff into it, and then adjust the video stuff.
