On Linux, if your game settings reset to default or low preset after attempting to edit the hardware_settings_config.xml file with a GUI-based text editor, please reapply your desired settings from the game's settings menu, then try editing the xml file using your Linux distribution's console-based text editors like nano, vim, etc.
Make sure to take note of the default permission settings for hardware_settings_config.xml before making it read-only in Linux. Making the file read-only might also cause the game settings to reset to default. In that case, it's best to set the file permissions back to default.
