Sims Medieval - Not reading Options.ini file
Hi all, Can't figure out where to go from here - after some basic troubleshooting, it seems like my Sims Medieval game isn't recognizing the 'Options.ini' file that is created by the game. Specific...
Forum Discussion
@mate54 the game generates an .ini file, I have it converted to .txt format so that I can upload the file on the forum.
@VeronicaLyons , that is so odd that it doesn't add text..... Have you set options in the game so far? Like screen resolution or something else?
@Tremayne4260 , yes I have changed the screen resolution and fullscreen/windowed mode successfully. These are the only two options the seem to "stick" in the graphics settings. Some other random options will stick, like the "showncardnotrecognizedwarning", but nothing related to any other graphics settings or the main tutorial setting. I'm half tempted to get another copy of the game and see what happens, but I'm not sure if it's a PC specs issue or a game issue. ☹️
@VeronicaLyons , I'm almost tempted to post my Options.ini file information here for you. Would like for me to do that?
@Tremayne4260 , if you are willing, I will try it!
I think this will work. Let me know if it does.
@VeronicaLyons , had to save it as a pdf. But the text part should work.
@Tremayne4260 , okay so I copied over the text from your pdf and formatted the .ini file name in the Sims Medieval folder, but when I load the game it still loads from a phantom options.ini file. I attached screenshots of the game options screen, showing that none of the settings are being read from the .ini file. ☹️ I'm also launching from the EA app, do you think that maybe the launch platform is messing something up? If I try to access the Game Launcher from the settings menu, it gives me an error... the mystery continues.
@VeronicaLyons , have you tried launching directly from the SimMedieval.exe file? That file directly starts the game and should bypass the launcher.
@Tremayne4260 , I tried launching from the TSM.exe file, and it reroutes through the EA app and launches as normal, with the same issue as before - not recognizing the Options.ini file. ☹️ I'm giving up hope for now, but thank you for your help! Maybe in another few months I'll be emotionally ready to try again LOL.
