How to make game.ini work again
I tried to do what another discussion said, but I guess it either didn't work or I didn't understand and did it wrong.
I have both [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] and [ShooterGameMode_Options], and I don't know if I should delete one or the other (I tried taking out [ShooterGameMode_Options] but it comes back)

Single player or server? The game.ini's are in different folders for each.

Also, what are you trying to alter? Different things go under different headers.

Paste your game.ini here so people have a better idea of what you want so they can help you better.

I play in single player. I'm try to get my game.ini to work with the game again, but the new setting sliders affects [ShooterGameMode_Options], which doesn't seem to do any in my game. This would be okay but now [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] don't affect my game either. Here is my game.ini. It seem long but it's only because of GameMode_Options.

[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]

What part doesn't work?

And do you really want to be able to learn all engrams in the game by level 3?

Also what folder is it in?

bladeseeker423 Jun 7, 2017 @ 2:21pm 
I don't know what doesn't work. The new update cause the game.ini not to work anymore.
The folder path is steamapps>common>ARK>ShooterGame>Saved>Config>WindowsNoEditor>Game

Here is the other discussion that may tell you what's happening. https://steamcommunity.com/app/346110/discussions/0/1353742967800313486/

And for the engrams, I tried to make it where I would be barely able to get all engrams, but then I added mods and got lazy. :steammocking:

I'm going to bump this discussion. I hope that the update didn't ruin my game.ini with no fix. :steamsad:

Well, I did say mileage may vary, and I wasn't finished testing it <laughs> Anyways yeah, the Script line will get put back - that's normal, to be expected. Deleting it the first time means Ark will write it back in at a different location, and probably also some duplicate settings entries as well - also normal. Taking those newly written settings and configuring them how you want them, if they end up different than desired, is the next step.

...I probably should have said all that the first time, too. My fault. I get too used to being neck-deep in these things figuring them out that I forget how much anyone else might need explained to them.

dont forget to set them to read only after editing - patches wipe all your custom config.

copy and paste everything under [ShooterGameMode_Options] and put it under [shootergame.shootergamemode]

then make the file read only and it will work.

I think read only was my problem! I can't test it now, but I'll test it tomorrow. Thanks.

Read only isn't your problem. If you do it wrong, the game will delete it wether it's read only or not. If you do it right it doesn't matter if it's read only.
