Spec Ops: The Line has encrypted configuration files.
Availability
Encrypted Configuration Files
The game's configuration files are encrypted. User Rick from the XeNTaX forums has developed a utility which can decrypt the file, allow it to be edited, and then re-encrypt the file so that Spec Ops: The Line can read it. The relevant post is on XeNTaX forum, where there is a direct link to the decrypter file download from Rick's own web hosting.[1][2][3]
The configuration files used by the game are stored in the folder "...\My Games\SpecOps-TheLine\SRGame\Config". The file names all start with "SR...".
To edit one of the files:
- right-click the encrypted file and choose "open with"
Gibbed.SpecOpsTheLine.IniDecrypt.exe - edit the now unencrypted file using Notepad and save
- right-click the file and choose "open with"
Gibbed.SpecOpsTheLine.IniEncrypt.exe - to prevent the game from overwriting any changes you made right-click the file, select properties and enable write-protection (note that this might prevent the game from saving changes you made in the in-game options menus)
Note: It is always recommended that you make backups of the original files before editing them manually.
