Hmmm.... that's a tough one are you sure you are in the right folder? there are more than one GameplaySettings.cfg in the sh4 folder in my documents and they are all almost mirrors of each other, but for some reason this is the only one that matters (alot of trial and error to figure that out) but it may not hurt to make sure they all say the same there is one at = My Documents\SH4\data\cfg\ and another in = My Documents\SH4\data\cfg\UPCInitial\. not that I think either one of those is going to make a change but you never know, other that that do you have any other saved games (maybe you are making the changes to the wrong saved game?). IF its not any of those you may need to follow PV's advice and start removing some mods and see which one was effecting the game. then reply here and tell us which it was and we may be able to look into it further. BTW I thought burried somewhere there was a mod for another compass or maybe it was a stopwatch I can't remeber but I think I had seen it on the capt cox mod list. it maybe worth looking into.
