Notes
- Warning: When r_subdivisions is 1 or 2, the game bugs out when the player is located in certain areas. The frame rate feels like 5-10 fps and the mouse is not responding correctly. Solution: set "r_subdivisions" to something higher like "3" (max 20) in maxquality.cfg.
- You can also do this for the expansion packs. Simply copy
custom.cfg to <path-to-game>\mainta\ and/or <path-to-game>\maintt\ .
- You can add in other settings such as custom resolution and this will fix any issues you have with saving settings.

Game crashes during EA logo (Origin version)
If the game crashes at startup using the Origin version, you have to disable "Origin In Game".
You can do it in the Game properties (but the expantions will still crash at startup).
If you want to play the expansions you'll need to disable "Origin in-game" in the Origin's "Application settings"!
