The general reason we don't like user.cfg mods is because if we decide to change something down the road; we have just created a user support case when their client crashes for a reason only reproducible by that exact user.cfg file. If a file was shared publicly then we'd have X number of support cases should a crash be the case. Now that's, to borrow a phrase, a can-of-worms I worry about.



Just handle it like most other games do with editable files. If a user has a modified user.cfg file and is experiencing problems, insist on a clean re-install (including registry cleaning). If the problem still persist with a clean and unmodified game, then it is a job for the support staff. A gaming company can not be held responsible if a user modifies any files (even though they are permitted to... but explicitly informed as they have been, that such modifications are at the users sole discretion). Especially as you say, the game is still being actively modified by the developing company.What would be great if the game client options would include film grain and cockpit glass removal, mainly it is not a problem... but certain points in various maps make the cockpit glass exceedingly annoying (and no Im not using that phoney excuse of nausea through movement which is already there in the form of a moving cockpit frame for the view).Id be interested in an FPS comparison between the regular and the modified game client (various combinations of filmgrain, cockpit glass and cockpit removal). My FPS is fine at around 40-60+ with everything standard, but I do have players in my unit who are having increasing problems with ever lowering FPS. It would be great for them to be able to play normally again (and I wouldnt be averse to being able to make videos which can be used for representative purposes which do not have any unneeded filters superimposed
