You should probably do the research, they blacklisted alot of optiopns, Lordred has provided you with one such example.

Please see this post here, from august linking to the already available post by PGI on the subject.

And for the shortcut.

http://mwomercs.com/...wo-game-client/

so we have someone who's gone through and seen what he can and can't get away with and a post from 22 months ago from a staffers who can't be contacted due to no longer working for PGI or was an IGP staffer.

Please refer to my above post, i'd like a response from an forum admin or a PGI member as to the current ruling on modded config files.

the fact you ignored my questions about to show proof from when that ruling was allowed then chnaged and now you saying allowed again.

how hard is it to come up with the most recent response from PGI as to there pov on config files ratehr than from one from 22 months ago by someone who doesn't work for them anymore.

what was allowed 22 months ago doesn't mean it is allowed now given there have if you saying is correct, now changed back and forth 3 times and edited what is and ins't allowed.

As for research, i didn't realise i had to do research to be allowed to make a forum discussion and ask a question, can u please show me where i have to do this to saitify your desire?

I get the feelings your one of those, listen to me, i'm right, what i've said is right cause i know kinda people.

so much has changed in 22 months in this game, i'd like an update on PGI of the topic. NOT yours that u keep repeating without attempting to answers the question put forward as u can't only repeat your same old boring statements already.

what didn't you understand when i said thats a post from 22 months ago your trying to use to validate your pov?

You clearly aren't in the know Pada Vinson created config files soley around performance of thje game, his work helped a great many play the game who otherwise wouldn't have been able to.

The part where it fell over was that at later points some of his tweaks modified game files outside of the user.cfg that is what isn't allowed.

If you actually read the link, you'll see egomane, a moderator in august using the information he and we have, that's it, that is the latest information.

User.cfg is allowed, game file modification is not.

There's this new thing called a search tool, it can answer questions that have been asked before or show you relevant topics

And actually im one of those run with the information i have types, that is the information we have the config file is not hard blocked by PGI to prevent use.

What more is there to say?

so responding to a statement in full and without insult is being douche? right. Well sir i question your right to make a response when u can't answer the question being put forward without the need to try and make this a flame war.

let me guess you use a modd config file and want to keep the topic quiet as you need to advantage over others cause your so bad that playing a on a level playing field would mean u die too much? Please tell us what kinda config file u sue then?

Nope. and my previous statement stands.

Could someone teach me how to change the userconfig.file (The ones that are allowed by PGI ) cause i am not familiar with comp. thingy. I am not good at computer , greatly appreciated thanks.

of course it's an advantage, those with a modded config file do have an advantage.

it is an advantage no more than it is having a better graphic card, a bigger monitor or a better gaming mouse and keyboard. Those things are available to all as it is the user.cfg file. If someone is unable, for any reason, to have one of these, ergo, it is unable to modify his user.cfg - with all the tutorials around - then it is his problem alone. there is nothing unfair. life itself is not equal for everyone, asking it in an online game is childish.

[Napoleon_Blownapart]

i think even demanding pgi respond to this drivle is a violation of the forum rules.....

[TKSax]

The user.cfg file has always been ok to modify, they have never changed that policy.

In fact this option
gp_option_ShowCockpitGlass=0/1

Was provided by PGI and users were told to put in thier user.cfg file to turn off the cockpit glass in the patch notes.

Wait so we can do anything to the config file we want?

Yes!

To any other file, including adding new files to the game?
No! Not unless a GM tells you to do so.

Just the user.cfg, they have locked out some of the options and I know some graphic options I had in my caused the game to chrashed after they add dx11 support, but user the user.cfg is fully configurable, a lot of the cryengine options from other games wil work in there, some won't becuase as metioned above they have locked those out. (AKA you used to be able to removed the cockpit)

Most of the user.cfg options are blacklisted at least the ones that can be used for shady results.

Any of the ones not blacklisted are usable; cockpit glass; zoom window etc

[Ghogiel]

In cryengine the developer has the ability to disable cvars from working through the user.cfg.

An ability PGI have used.

Pretty much any cvar that works in the user.cfg PGI knows about and is likely enabled for a reason. ie performance, user preference etc

so having an advantage is unfair but thats ok with you cause life is unfair, omg how lame that is an excuse.

last i understood config files being modded wheren't allowed, now your saying they are. can you cite where this is said it's allowed other than a post from 22 months given so much has changed in the game or are u going to continue with a low intelligence response your douche?

show me you have more than half a brain cell please

once again someone who reads only what they want to read rather than whats being ASKED?

asking and demanding are 2 different things you should learn the difference

[Hades Trooper]

As to my knowledge use config files where ok then not able to be used, now it seems they can again.

regardless of your opinion on the matter my goal is to try inform people of it via having a forum thread about it and asking to confirmation from PGI that there currently allowed.

A post from 22 months ago by a staffer no longer working for PGI or was a IGP staffer isn't cutting it in my pov,

Information is power and i say power to the people, so spread the word!
