[1.0.0] Config file continually reset.

Post by NotRexButCaesar »

Every time I try to edit my config file, the game resets any changes I made. I cannot figure out why as it is not mentioned in the log.

Are you editing it while the game is open? And are you removing the comment at the start of what ever line you're editing?
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

The one you want is not valid INI file, therefore it doesn't get loaded, and gets overwritten by games default config.
I saw at least one error at line 136, "Options: true, false" is not a comment, which makes it not valid INI file.

In case you don't know:
Click "Settings-Button" in Main-menu with Ctrl-Alt, then you get an advanced config "the rest", which covers most of the config options

It must just be a mistake then. It was working fine until I reinstalled.
