  • This is an issue for me and I'm sure it will bug a lot of other people as well. I can find no easy way to migrate my old settings from 2.2.3 to the 2.3 test 4. I spent a long time getting them just right and a lot of them are cfg-only settings, because they are broken ingame for one reason or another. You guys need to figure out an easy way to transfer all your old settings!

    BTW,
    I LOVE 2.3, its what nexuiz should have been!! I maintain a very high, stable FPS, one similar to what I would expect on a PC of my calibur. No offense but 2.2.3 and all previous releases run like crap and have huge FPS fluxuations. I love the more realistic physics as well, this is going to rock!!

  • Why is this an issue? Just copy over the config.cfg from your Nexuiz223/data directory and copy it into your Nexuiz23/data dir. IF you also use other .cfg files you should know about and how to handle them. I'd just advice to start with a fresh config as its the savest way to do.



    I do it like this: I have several config files. n.cfg (for my basic settings like binds, mouse and misc settings) n_lx.cfg (just contains my sensitivity setting for linux, well as i no longer use windows i could just scrap the windows setting in n.cfg and get rid of that file but i'm too lazy), n_lo.cfg ('my' low settings) n_hi.cfg ('my' high settings) and n_mi.cfg (misc settings like, autodemo, stuff like showfps). Those files contain all settings i need, i can even kill config.cfg and use those to restore my settings. Quite handy to test stuff ;)

  • wait you can just copy CFG files?? I thought 2.3 had a lot of things reworked and new things added and so that wouldn't work.

  • The config.cfg files just saves settings that are marked as savable AND are changed from the default so its worth a try.. BUT if there are any problems i expect people to try it with default settings and not bother me in case the default settings work fine but their old settings not :P :P Well i'm not THAT mean but telling people to start from a clean install is a good way to minimize problems :)
