So I wanted to start a new game to test the sliding and I set skill diminishment to 1 in the ini file so I could get consistent testing without skills changing after every tournament.
However, when I change the diminishment to 1 in the ini and start the new save, the game automatically defaults diminishment back to its default values and turns it on again. I've tried doing it half a dozen times last night and every time diminishment was restored.
Is there a workaround for this?
