FOnline2238.cfg

Intro

"FOnline2238.cfg" is a configuration file for various FOnline 2238 specific features that don't exist in vanilla FOnline client, such as fog of war, on-screen timeouts and more. This file is not created by the installer or FOConfig.exe and is not required to run the game. If the file cannot be found in the FOnline directory, default values are used.

Remember, FOnline2238.cfg is NOT a replacement of "FOnline.cfg."

Note: You can easily edit this file with text editor, or use provided tool FO2238Config.exe instead.
