changing difficulty

[HalloweenJack4]

hi all,

i've just bought the game on PC and first of all i'd like to warn anyone thinking of buying the game there are certain issues.

i have bought many pc games before with an odd little problem here and there and assumed, usually correctly, that they would be addressed in a patch.

from reading here it seems EA have not patched this game since launch (a year ago?) and there are many annoying bugs, that perhaps could have been fixed.

shame on you EA. this lack of support does get noticed.

i will now read forums to look for problems with your games before i buy, under the assumption that they may not ever be patched.

anyways, i'm really posting about a work around for one of these bugs.

i've played the game on hard as i find it suits a survival horror. unfortunately, as many other people, my setting has changed to medium, making the game more of a shooter and not as much fun to me. (i thought i was just getting much better at the game hehe)

i've only just realised the change, and don't have any suitable save games to return to.

to release a game without the option to change the difficulty setting mid-game and with a bug that changing your setting to medium, and then to not release a patch is infuriating to say the least.

but, is there a work round?

usually pc games have console commands for these kind of things but i can't seem to find any.

incidently, when it happened i had no other save games apart from the hard/difficult settings.

any ideas?

id like to know too if theres work around as im fumblinng in the dark to say the least

as for patch someone mentioned everyone shud email ea support
eventually they must see they got to patch this game

one cant help but notice how dead space pc owners have been treated
but sooner or later they gotta patch it save all this agro

i doubt if they'll patch after all this time.

i've almost finished the game now. the difficulty changing half way through really spoilt a good game for me.

such a shame a game was spoilt by such an easily correctable bug.

i guess we should all be wary of EA in future.

You're a bit late with the info, everyone has already posted what you said and most people have beat the game dozens of times over.
