Metro 2033 cfg. re-writes itself

[spartan1081990]

So I want to enable those cfg. commands like v-sync and fov in order to supposedly get more fps. The problem is that I can change the cfg. setting on my steam metro 2033 folder but the "application data" metro 2033 folder changes itself every time I start the game. And I know v-sync is not enabled since I can see that stupid screen tearing from the THQ logo. Also the fov looks consolish and that way I know that I did something wrong. I tried setting the cfg. file to "read only", I tried changing SYSTEM permission to deny writing, but it just created another SYSTEM user that has "full permission". Windows is a big fat troll, any help would be appreciated.

Try using the config tool.

the v-sync is still not working, even when the three cfg. files say that it is on, the fov and gi work but gi is giving me weird texture issues

I cant even use the program anymore, it says something about "unhandheld user error debug" etc. Even when steam is closed

Did you clean your temp files?
Have you tried re-installing?

I am using D3Doverride to enable v-sync and I got a 3-4 fps boost. Then I said f_ck it and I set everything to max, including NVIDIA physx (I have a 6950) in dx10 and I get constant 60 fps. I think dx11 is a joke, and spending 500 dlls on another 6950, PSU and motherboard just to see some 3d brick walls is not worth it. Thanks for your help.

Try this: Open the cfg using the notepad (as opposed to wordpad). After you make the adjustments, press the "save as" button. Then select "all files".

couldn't you make the .CFG a Read only file? then it won't change
