CONFIG RESETS AFTER UPDATES
Battalion 1944 is in its early access days and gets updated regularly. Sometimes config commands get added, removed or altered and the config needs to be reset. This results in you losing your custom configurations like graphic, audio, game settings or your bindings. Your config isn’t lost though – it’s just “outdated”. You’ll find your old config file in your configs folder and by editing some things, you’ll be able to use it again.
!! DON’T JUST UPDATE THE VERSION NUMBER. THERE ARE USUALLY MORE CHANGES TO MAKE AND YOU MAY EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS & CRASHES WITHOUT THOSE !!
Also, if you experience problems and crashes with the game, always start and test with a fresh config by creating a new one via the dropdown menu in the in-game settings.
How to update your Battalion 1944 config
Go into the custom configs folder (\steamapps\common\Battalion 1944\Battalion\configs\custom) and look for your last used config file. If you don’t know which one it is, take a look at the modification date. It’s usually the last or second last. (Every time it gets reset and you change the default config, a new customX.config will be created. Tip: You can also rename the config.)
Right click the config and open it in the text editor of your choice, for example Notepad. Then change everything according to the following instructions:
MAJOR PATCH #1 – CONFIG VERSION 14 -> 15 CHANGES
Your last config has to be version 14 for these changes. No new commands were added, existing ones which had random values before are getting used now though.
You need to edit the following commands with the provided values:
Commands to edit:
- version: 15
- gamma: 2
this is the “brightness” command from the menu which now works. - colourBlindMode: 0
- decorativeTrees: false
- worldMasterColourGradingSaturation: 0
- worldMasterColourGradingContrast: 0
- worldMasterColourGradingGamma: 0
- skipKillCam: true
- miniMapZoomAmount: 1
Pay attention to the formatting and add the double quotes (“”) and commas (,) accordingly.
If you are experiencing problems with the new update, let the game create a new config and see if you still have problems with a fresh config.

WEEK #2 PATCH – VERSION 13 -> 14 CHANGES
Your last config has to be version 13 for these changes. You need to add or edit the following commands with the provided values:
