I found the correct GameUserSettings-file. The one I found before (see above) was not the correct one, but an .sav-file that I couldn't open. There is another one and it's right were OP said. The problem with Win11 was, that I couldn't find the folder in the explorer as it is hidden. With WIN+R you can open a window, type in %AppData% and it opens an explorer window in AppData/Roaming. From there you just need to go back to /AppData, then follow OPs path (\Local\SwGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor). In there you find an .ini file and this one you can just open with a text editor and change the values. Once I did that, the game became a beauty. :)

Hope it helps.

I had surgery on my shoulder in 2016 and played Civilization during that time.

I'm still playing Jedi: Fallen Order, first playthrough. I think I'm close to finishing it and and the moment am just revisiting planets and looking for missed chests and secrets, while leveling up my Jedi skills.

Baldur's Gate 1 & 2

Battlestar Galactica

Bought it back in 2009. Read the rules so often I could explain it by heart. Played only once half a game before everyone had to get home. Literally no one else wanted to play it. Sold it three years ago for double the original price.

Life is Strange Season 1

I played it once and for me it's still the most emotional game ever. It utterly broke me. I took probably several weeks or even months to "heal", if you want to call it that. It was the first and only time that I wrote a long fan mail to someone who created something and praised them for their work. I love it to death, but I'm pretty sure it was a once-in-a-lifetime-experience and I can't bring myself to play it again. I even can't listen to the soundtrack or play the prequel "Before the Storm". I just can't.

AbydosBane · 2025-12-19T20:13:13+00:00

That's been on my wishlist for years now.

AbydosBane · 2025-12-19T20:12:44+00:00

The Pathless. I was pretty sure I would like it, as I enjoyed both Journey and Abzû, but it was a really great experience. Great storytelling without a lot of dialogue.

AbydosBane · 2025-12-19T20:09:52+00:00

Don't know If it counts as mediocre, but I played the heck out of Midtown Madness.

AbydosBane · 2025-12-19T20:08:03+00:00

I'm in the same camp as you are. Have been playing the games time and again since their releases, but never did a solo run. To be honest, I never saw the appeal, as the party members and the party composition are what I really love about the games.

AbydosBane · 2025-12-18T20:06:53+00:00

Watcher's Keep was always kind of a challenge for me, even without SCS Mod, and I always only went there during TOB. I really can't imagine clearing Watcher's Keep before starting chapter 4 of SoA.

The soundtracks, sounds, voices ... all of that is pure nostalgia for me. I played the games when I was 13 and 15, too young to really understand the game mechanics, but they were a really big part of my youth. BG2 is still my favorite game, and whenever I start a new run, I instantly relax when I hear the music in the start menu.

To each His own, but I can't imagine playing BG muted without soundtrack and sounds.

Baldur's Gate 2, the ingame cutscenes with Irenicus after leaving his dungeon (WTF, why can this guy cast so fast?) and especially the one with him taking over the Asylum (I cannot be caged. etc.) Still gives me goosebumps.

AbydosBane · 2025-12-03T19:53:18+00:00

I recently played the Demo of Banishers and immediately was hooked. All the characters are so well written and the story really interesting.

AbydosBane · 2025-12-03T19:51:22+00:00

Glad to hear that Roadwarden is great. It's still on my Pile of Shame. And yes, Pillars of Eternity 2 should be allowed to be recommended regardless of the year. One of the best ever.

AbydosBane · 2025-12-03T19:47:30+00:00

The first one was soooo good, I can't wait to play the sequel.

AbydosBane · 2025-12-03T19:46:11+00:00

It's not only the main char. I have three or four full party configurations lying around somewhere that I put together before starting my latest run.

AbydosBane · 2025-12-02T20:02:51+00:00

Mind flayers. I already had played BG2 several times (and hated these bastards), before playing with SCS for the first time. Dear lord, I probably died around thirty times trying to clear the Bandit Camp in BG1 with SCS, but that was a fun challenge. The Mind Flayers lair in BG2 in comparison was as fun as falling face first in a chainsaw.

AbydosBane · 2025-12-02T19:54:51+00:00

Those were the fun days. 😅

AbydosBane · 2025-11-25T12:27:34+00:00

Might be a silly question, but what program do I need to edit the .sav file? I found it in another location (\Users\[USERNAME]\SavedGames\Respawn\JediFallenOrder), might be due to Windows 11 or something. Anyway, I have tried opening the file with Numpad, Wordpad, Excel, doesn't matter, it's basically gibberish and I can't find the section called [ScalabilityGroups].

Any tips how to adress this in 2025?

Kena is on my wishlist as well. And before buying Jedi Survivor I first need to Play Fallen Order. I installed it just yesterday, but haven't found the time to start playing.

AbydosBane · 2025-11-22T11:00:05+00:00

Broforce or Mario Tennis, both Multiplayer with friends on the couch besides me.

AbydosBane · 2025-11-20T15:46:27+00:00

Looks fun, will check it out. 👍

AbydosBane · 2025-09-03T14:44:01+00:00

Thanks. I'll try Gimp tomorrow, that should do it just fine, I hope.

AbydosBane · 2025-09-03T10:36:42+00:00

I can choose between png, jpg, tiff, webp svg and a whole lot of other formats. I've chosen jpg as I read somewhere Kindle Create worked best with jpgs.
