Local config gets ignored and overwritten


(Mustang) #1

If I make an ini change (for some of them) then start the game the ini value will be ignored and instead the last change I saved in-game will be used instead.

I presume this is due to certain config settings being pulled from a cloud storage service.

If this is the case rather than cloud settings always winning what I’d like to see is a pop-up saying something like:
Your local config settings are not in sync with your cloud settings, please choose which one you would like to use.
[Use cloud settings (Recommended)] [Use local settings]

This allows for easy setup on new computers (you could even automatically sync cloud configs if bFirstRun=True), but also allows out of game config editing to work correctly without any of the silly “mark as read-only” workarounds.

Of course whichever option you choose will also sync the new values to the other.

No the config is in your install directory…
The game pulls certain info from BASEGAME, BASEINPUT and BASEENGINE from that directory.

Did you make the config files read-only?
