Am at a loss as to why editing it in the main game install folder, is NOT taking hold, then...

Yea it always worked for me when I went to Documents/SH4/data/cfg/main.cfg

I have never had it work for me if I tried to edit the main.cfg in the main installation folder.

Ok, after cogitating this for a bit.. the only thing I can come up with...

It's possibly that My success with editing the 1 in the in game folder, was due to editing the main.cfg in the in game installation folder, before starting to play the game, after doing the install as was needed to be done.

From what I've seen thus far, with others attempting to edit that file & it not being able to be done to that same 1 as I did, but instead only to the 1 in the game save folder, instead... leads Me to believe that method can only be done because the game was started without doing the steps that I did. I have no other idea as to avoid having to go that route, unless you do a complete wipe & reinstall of the game... a rather lengthy & pain inducing process that I DO NOT recommend, unless absolutely necessary...

So.. if it means having to go into the save folder & editing the main.cfg file there... & that works to allow the changes to the time compression... and it doesn't crash or cause some other issues, then as the maxim goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.. go with it.

This is the only explanation I can come up with...
