Graphics settings not saved

Hello

I'm trying to change my graphics settings from Highest to just High, so that I might fix a problem regarding mods. However, when I change the settings and restart the game to ensure that the effects have saved, they have reverted back to the original Highest settings. I would very much appreciate help as this is becoming increasingly frustrating.

There are two things you can try to do:

1) Make sure user.setting (or diplomacy.user if you're running the Diplo beta) is not set to read only (right click > properties). Then try changing the settings ingame again and see if they save.

2) Manually edit user.setting:

TextureQualityForShipColor 3
TextureQualityForShipData 3
TextureQualityForShipBump 3
TextureQualityForModuleColor 3
TextureQualityForModuleData 3
TextureQualityForModuleBump 3
TextureQualityForPlanetColor 3

These are for "Highest". To change them to "High" just change the values from 3 to 2 for each of these.

 

The user.setting file is located in the Setting folder in your user path (same as the mod path).

The second suggestion worked worked for me, but the mod still creates a minidump when enabled. But in any case, thanks for the help.

Go back to user.setting and at the bottom set showErrors to TRUE. Try enabling the mod again and when it minidumps it should show which line in which file is causing it :)
