Just encountered another issue that I can't quite figure out.

My game works fine with no issues, however my housemates PC is the same specs as me, just his hard drive setup is different. He was getting some stuttering issues, whilst maintaining a good fps >60. We then tried editing the XEngine.ini file in:

%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\My Games\BioShock Infinite\XGame\Config\

Here is the problem. It's not there. At all. On either of his hard drives. The file doesn't seem to have been created! Anyone else seen this problem?

Have you tried to search for XEngine.ini file by file search? Also hit Win key+R and paste whole string there: %USERPROFILE%\My Documents\My Games\BioShock Infinite\XGame\Config\ and it should get you there.

Another idea: is your settings saved? Because if yes, these .ini files must be somewhere. Steam cloud is saving only game progress and key bindings I think.

Right, still haven't nailed the issue, but no. His setting are not being saved at all. His saves are though. The Steam cache was verified and it downloaded one file, but this still did not solve the issue. Though updating his drivers maginally solved the stuttering issue.

Then I think your have busted user rights in your windows profile. You can try these:

- start the game with admin rights

- win+r -> gpedit.msc -> look there for access restrictions for your user profile

- download Total Commander, navigate to C:\Users\ and if folder with name of your windows profile has little lock icon, you are pretty much screwed and the fastest solution is to clean reinstall of your OS. This happened to me once and after few days spend on google I finaly gave up.

Yeah, it's locked. Though everything else is fine using the folder. I have no idea why Bioshock isn't creating the correct directories. I've been playing around with the admin privileges though to no avail.

Good luck with that. Please let me know, if you find fix because I could not fix this issue at all.
