Changeing difficulty

Featured Replies

Do anyone know if there is a way to change the difficulty of a game after you have played for a while?

 

Unfortunately I set the difficulty to Novice and find the game to easy to the point of boring.

 

Right now I am up against cutists and wargots and they are quite easy to kill. Mutant missions is just plain boring. Do anyone know if there comes anymore missions than the standard:

I fear you must start a new game.

Best difficulty (to start, or not) is 'III. Veteran'.

Hmm.....

 

After poking around in the file directory a while I found a file named:

[Drive] :\UFO Aftershock\Profiles\ [Profile name] \profileinfo.txt

 

PROFILE_INFO
 NAME "SwBvAGsAdQBlAGkA"
 DIR_NAME "Kokuei"
 DIR_NAME_NUMBER 0
 DIFFICULTY 0         <------- 
 SYSTEM_TIME 1250153641
 LAST_MODIFIED 1250776831
END_OF_PROFILE_INFO

 

Have anyone tried to change this? Perhaps it could work.

I believe that's the right place for AS to change difficulty. You could try starting a new game in a different profile with a different difficulty settings and checking the value to comfirm this.

 

Yes, however i will try and verify this through ingame experience also. Combat mission should get alot harder at max difficulty. I will respond here when i have made sufficent testing.

Yes, this seems to work.

 

But you have to change difficulty in both profile and game files.

 

\profile\profileinfo.txt - Contains all games.

\profile\ [Game name] \profileinfo.txt - Specific game.
