Graphics.lua reset after update

[Lange_666]

Why is it that the Graphic.lua is always reset after an update?

Examples: Screenshotquality set back to 90 and MaxFPS always set back to 120.

 

Does not make any sense to me...

I dont know if you saw this readme.txt in the DCS World>Config>graphics_readme

 

Hi!

 

Old graphics.cfg is gone and replaced with graphics.lua.

However, please, do not edit this file directly.

Otherwise you'll lose your changes after each update.

 

New method for overriding options is to create (or edit) a file

 

C:\Users\<YOUR-LOGIN>\Saved Games\DCS\Config\autoexec.cfg

 

or

 

C:\Users\<YOUR-LOGIN>\Saved Games\edModelViewer\Config\autoexec.cfg

 

(for model viewer)

 

and place your changes there.

Note:

- autoexec.cfg settings will override the options set via GUI.

- Graphic options in autoexec.cfg should be prefixed with options.graphics.

- file encoding should be UTF-8 without BOM

 

Example autoexec.cfg:

 

options.graphics.maxfps = 30

options.graphics.render3D = false

options.graphics.ScreenshotQuality = 75

-- add custom texture path

-- note the slashes!

table.insert(options.graphics.VFSTexturePaths, "c:/Users/<LOGIN>/Saved Games/DCS/MyTextures")

 

 

 

Happy gaming!

Hope it helps with not breaking your settings again.
