'''Notes'''
 
{{ii}} '''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.
 
{{ii}} You can also do this for the expansion packs. Simply copy <code>custom.cfg</code> to <code>{{p|game}}\mainta\</code> and/or <code>{{p|game}}\maintt\</code>.
 
{{ii}} You can add in other settings such as custom resolution and this will fix any issues you have with saving settings.

==Issues fixed==
 
===Graphics settings are lost each time when starting game===
 
You need to copy your graphics settings from <code>{{p|game}}\main\configs\unnamedsoldier.cfg</code> to <code>{{p|game}}\main\newconfig.cfg</code><br />
 
Or you can use [[#Max quality graphics settings|Max quality graphics settings]]. Once you have the settings you want in a text editor, save that file as <code>{{p|game}}\main\configs\unnamedsoldier.cfg</code> and set the file to be read only.
 
 
===Can't turn mouse more than 180° (or doesn't work properly)===
 
Put this line into config file.
 
<code>seta in_mouse -1</code>
 
 
===Game crashes during EA logo (Origin version)===
 
If the game crashes at startup using the Origin version, you have to disable "Origin In Game".<br />
 
You can do it in the Game properties (but the expantions will still crash at startup).<br />
 
If you want to play the expansions you'll need to disable "Origin in-game" in the Origin's "Application settings"!
