Config not loading

[Nikolai]

So what happened was I made a couple of changes to my config today. I replaced the old configs with the new one, copying the new config with same name to each mod folder.

When I start the game now, it does not launch the game with my config, but in stead creates new ''etconfig'' file with no changes I have made.

 

I haven't had this issue before, and would appreciate the help!

Sorry, never heard of this.

Did you /exec yourconfigname.cfg? You have to do it every time when you make changes to it.

What if you open console and `/exec your-config.cfg` - does there are some error messages displayed in console?

I have it there as well. I have just pretty much always copied my config in every folder.

Edit: just to clarify, this has never been an issue before, this problem I have now is new.

Edited May 25, 2022 by Nikolai

[razjee]

For example /exec Nikolai

 

Btw do u use etlegacy ?

So basically I have my config named Nikolai in etmain, but after I made adjustments to it, when starting ET client, my settings are reset and there's a new config called ''etconfig'' in the etmain alongside with my Nikolai config.

[razjee]

C:\Users\"YOUR-Windows-USERNAME"\Dokuments\ETLegacy

If u use etlegacy, paste this "new" cfg here in etmain and exec in game

I really dunno..

If you have nikolai.cfg in etmain then you have to do /exec nikolai.cfg in game or just save this config with name autoexec.cfg

It's all that come to my mind when your config isn't loading when game starts, if you broke your config then game would just crash
