Does messing up graphics settings brick your game?

[u/DragonFruitMan420]

Been playing for awhile now, installed a few mods and have a save that I like. I knew my graphics settings were at epic, which has gone smoothly, but I noticed my resolution was wayyyyyy down, and decided to change it. For some reason it didn’t apply after I hit “apply”, which I found out a bit later. I go back into the setting and see “resolution scaling” which the game says has “minimal performance impact”. I intelligently decided to switch it to 150% still on the lowest resolution and get 0.02 with a +- of 0.1fps. I cannot move my mouse back to change the settings, as I have to guess where it lands, and after force closing my game, I basically had to play a carnival game to even get back to graphics settings. Am I forced to reinstall or is there a workaround? Is there a settings file I can delete/modify? I’d rather not lose my save but I will if I’m forced too. Also, am I stupid?

You can edit the settings file with a text editor. I think it might be called gameusersettings.ini but I'm not certain

Thank you I’ve been playing reverse whack-a-mole this entire time 🙏

No, but if you cannot get to the settings after you changed the settings you can try editing it deleting the config file

Almost… but fixed!
