-unzip files to folder \Documents\My Games\SpecOps-TheLine\SRGame\Config\
-Drag and Drop files on Gibbed.SpecOpsTheLine.IniDecrypt.exe before editing
-To re-encrypt after editing, Drag and Drop on Gibbed.SpecOpsTheLine.IniEncrypt.exe

• Right click on Spec Ops in your library and go down to Properties. Click on Set Launch Options and input -nostartupmovies

• Target Movies if deleting include
  
  • 2KLogo.bik
    
  • Legal.bik
    
  • legal_logo_screen.bik
    
  • LegalScreen.bik
    
  • StartupMovie.bik
    
  • UnrealLogo.bik
    
  • YagerLogo.bik

• After decrypting SREngine.ini, search for [FullScreenMovie] and either delete or add // before all instances of StartupMovies

-Caution: Don't change bForceNoMovies to true, ingame movie cutscenes wont play causing the game to not load levels.

First decrypt SRInput.ini

-Change bEnableMouseSmoothing to False -Change m_viewAccelEnabled to False -Change MouseSensitivity from 60.0 to 30.0, or something that suits your preference -Change m_targetingModeMouseViewScalePct from 0.6 to 1.0 -Change m_autoCenterPitch to False

re-encrypt SRInput.ini

Remove those obtrusive and annoying Key/Mouse binding reminders that come up everytime for vaulting, dropping down, ect.

Decrypt SRInput.ini and go down to line [SRGame.YUIDataStore_PlayerActionMessage] and either delete or add // before all instances of MenuInputMapArray= until line 47 of that section (line 1410) that starts
MenuInputMapArray=(FieldName="DropDown",Set="MeleeOnShoulder",MappedText="<StringAliasMap:CoverButton>")

the instances that include Set="MeleeOnShoulder" or the key reminders will still appear.
Alternatively you can remove the more common ones that pop up while leaving the uncommon ones unafffected

• "SlipOut"
  
• "Vault"
  
• "DropDown"
  
• "TurretEnter"
  
• "TurretLeave"
  
• "Reload"
  
• "ExecuteOther"
  
• "Use"
  
• "SpecialMove"
  
• "Cover"
  
• "Swat"
  
• "ThrowGrenade"
  
• "PickUp"

Re-encrypt SRInput.ini after editing

It's best to play the first level, that is the tutorial level, so you become familair with what keys belong to what prompts.

If you run into problems after editing the INI files, either delete the ones you have edited or delete the whole Config folder.
When the game is loaded up again, the default files will be regenerated

If a problem occurs with the ingame movie cutscenes, run a Verify Integrity of Game Cache.
