1.8 Update - Can't access some features. #494

Closed Mister-Curious closed 1 year ago

Mister-Curious commented 1 year ago

"Note: This update changed some sections of the .ini structure, so you will notice that some of your existing settings will revert to default."

So I noticed after installing 1.8 a a few things no longer work and I am at a loss of how to fix them. Here is a list:

I'm pretty sure my setting overrides REmixTweaks.ini file is working because SkipIntroLogos = true is set there, but in the settings.ini it is set to false.

EDIT - I got the above features to work by activating them in-game menu, but this all leads me to ask. What file is being written to and read from? If I changed these settings in the ini files, and they weren't read, I must have something in the wrong place, or some file is overriding another. I'm not sure how things work now that things have been changed. There is the xinput1_3.ini file in the Bin32 folder, but are we supposed to get rid of this now since there is the \Resident Evil 4\Bin32\re4_tweaks\default_settings\ settings.ini file?

Sorry I'm confused ! I disabled the xinput1_3.ini file in the Bin32 folder, but that didn't help.

The xinput1_3.ini in the Bin32 folder is the user settings, the changes you make in the re4_tweaks menu are read/written there, IIRC the re4_tweaks\default_settings\settings.ini is only used to copy over to that when the xinput1_3.ini doesn't exist.

Adding it to Bin32\re4_tweaks\setting_overrides\REmixTweaks.ini should override both really, but maybe there's some issue with that somehow, possible only the xinput1_3.ini value is actually being applied & the one from override isn't making any change.

Are you sure the setting in your REmixTweaks.ini is named correctly & in the proper section for that tweak? (UseSprintToggle should be inside [GAMEPLAY], and SkipMenuFades should be in [MISC])

Also does the log file mention that it's reading from REmixTweaks.ini?

@emoose thanks for taking the time to create a roadmap for me. I'm not sure what happened. I think perhaps the re4_tweaks\default_settings\settings.ini overwrote my xinput1_3.iniand that's why nothing worked. I do keep settings in the xinput1_3.ini that aren't included in the REmixTweaks.ini (just stuff I use for testing that I wont include when I publish).

To answer your question about the log, Yes reading form overrides: _"Reading settings from: "Resident Evil 4\Bin32\re4_tweaks\settingoverrides\REmixTweaks.ini"

EDIT - Things got really messed up. I even reinstalled everything (from scratch), but that didn't solve my issues. I reverted back to a backup of my BIN32 folder, and it turns out I ALREADY had 1.8 installed!. In the future I will probably ask again how all this works, because I am so confused.

Thanks again.

Sorry for all the confusion, and thanks for all the help. I will mark this as closed as things are ok now.
