Impossible to change realism game settings?

[Pivke]

Hi
i bought this game a week ago, started playing the campaign.
got used to the game mechanics, figured some stuff out, watched some guides...
now i want to increase the challenge, with enabling more realism settings (like bilges, collisions, hardcore aim ect).
but it seems i cannot change those settings any more? please help

Most options (like the ones you listed) cannot be enabled mid game, you need to start a new sandbox for that.

a new campaign?
that kinda sucks, since i already done quite a lot of patrols and unlocked several research upgrades :s

Yes, you'll have to start a new campaign. Those settings can only be set before a game starts. They can't be changed once the save file has been launched and played.

You will get used to it or get used to it rather quick. Most mods require a new sandbox, each major update will toast your save files and you have restart.

The price of Early Access...

This might work, untested, but I did edit this file years ago, but can't remember why....

C:\Computer\ Users \ Your Name \ AppData \ LocalLow \ DeepWaterStudio \ UBoat

Look for a file called "Settings"

You can Open and Edit it with "Notepad"

Change the Settings that you want changed, and then click "Save"

Start the Campaign Game with the new settings, then Save the Game and exit out of it.

The new settings should then save to your Campaign settings.

Probably, best to make a backup Copy of that "Settings" file before any edits, just in case.

That file does have realism entries. You may want to turn cloud stuff off. The old settings will load, a local file won't or will get overwritten, if they are on the cloud.

Hello I started a campaign and set the audio language to English. I would like to change it back to German but can't see this option. Anyone have an idea how to do this via console or cfg?
