Oddity After Rebuild of PC

Featured Replies

I just rebuilt my system and had FS installed on my D: drive (which I kept intact) and when I reinstalled FS on the new system it seems like it forced much of it to C:. So I changed the UserCfg.opt file to point it to D:.

Now everything SEEMS fine, but I noticed I had some visuals that were wrong (chromatic aberration, vinette  and such that are set in that opt file) and so I changed them. The problem is, the game is ignoring those changes, so now I'm wondering if there's another UserCfg.opt file somewhere that is being read.

This is the Store version of Deluxe. 

Is there some log or something that might point me in the right direction?

Hello @Agrajag.  For the benefit of other users, could you finish this thread with the solution now? 

I believe the answer was to have 'custom' in the user config file was it not? 

{Graphics
    Version 1.1.0
    Preset Custom

If you can confirm that worked for you, that would be good.

As a side note, with your 3080, and now you know how to find and edit the user config file, you could try...

{Shadows
        MaxSliceCount 4
        Size 6144

It makes most of the shadows nice and sharp and less flickery with no noticeable performance hit.  I did this on an old 1080Ti a while ago, so it should be easily good for your 3080.

If you don't like it you can always put it back.  I recommend making a backup of the user config file anyway before making any changes.  Doesn't hurt.
