Very true.... I would be overcome with joy if this was only one of the problems.

So you only have to set realism before you leave for patrol? What if you save while on patrol?

The sure fire thing to do is to go to an isolated hilltop, take some peyote and sit down for three days and make firm and binding emotional committment to whichever realism settings you want to adere to.

Then come down, reintegrate into society, open up gameplaysettings.cfg in the config folder, and manually change them under [Easy] and then copy & paste them into every difficult level after. So that the settings are exactly as you want them, for every difficulty level.

Save, and then copy this file into your Documents\SH5\ folder.

It's a raz but it will do until it's patched.

The same as SH3. the save game remembers the realism settings. but you cant change settings while out on patrol. Realism settings can only be changed while in base. The same as SH3.

Yes but you only need do it once, and they are saved permanently, regardless of when and how you save your game in future. Its not the saving of the game, but the setting of the options in the sub pen before coming out on your mission.

Yep. You only actually do it once per career, so it's not that much of a big deal is it?

It’s just pointless having the options in the first place if they are ignored by whatever options you chose in the sub pen. Pointless bureaucracy.

They might as well have a picture of some kittens on the options screen.
