Difficulty level unchanging?

[Direwolf]

Is anyone else having an issue where changing the difficulty level for singleplayer has no effect on the game? I cant get it to stay on my server either, so i was wondering if someone knew a fix or

I am having the same problems. Only thecenter and scorched earth get 150 dinos.
Any other map and it is back to 120. Even though the check box for force max difficulty is enabled.
Also I cannot seem to get the force cave flyers to work either. All on singleplayer for me.

You have to add OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5.000000 to the GameUserSettings.ini in the WindowsNoEditor folder. It goes under [ServerSettings].

Then you have to destroywilddinos to see the new levels spawn in. 5.000000 will give you lvl 150. The dinos will then increase in increments of 5.

But the checkbox force max level should do this.

And the override official difficulty hasn't been needed for a while. You could just set the max difficulty at whatever in the ini file.

That it seems has been taken away since the ascention levels for players came into force.

I could set whatever dino level I wanted. Until they locked players levels.

You *need* to make sure that 1) you don't have the game/server running when you're editing the .ini file. 2) you click SAVE before exiting. 3) you are editing the CORRECT .ini file. 4) the .ini file is not write protected or the 'cleandefaults' versions of the .ini files.

If you've done all of that, either use the server manager or a .ini file generator to create the 'leveloverrides' for players and dinos, and paste that into your game.ini

You can say what you want. But the fact is using the OverrideOfficialDifficulty is the only it works for me. If you don't want to even attempt to fix your issue that is fine. But the OP can do this and it will work.

Yes this works perfectly thank you, I was originally set up for dinos around 500+ and having them only spawn up to 120-150 sorta messed everything up

I have tried it. And it got set to default everytime. Which is why I commented on this.
