Pastebin link to your Config (I will ignore your ticket if it doesn't contain this:
http://pastebin.com/empty

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. remove config.yml or ClearLag folder
2. reboot
3. config.yml is created as an empty file => this happens with both 2.8.2 and 2.8.4

4. copy config.yml from an older version
5. reboot
6. config.yml is preserved with 2.8.2
    config.yml is replaced by an empty file with 2.8.4

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
- plugin should generate a default config.yml
- plugin shouldn't empty an existing config.yml

What version of the product are you using?
ClearLag-2.8.2 and ClearLag-2.8.4

Do you have an error log of what happened?
With 2.8.2, a crash is observed on console:
