@Skeletishe You are completely correct, sorry for mistyping it initially, edited now. 

 

@Perkosaurus Hey, it should be as simple as creating the file using notepad within the C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\STAR WARS Battlefront folder. 

Please let us know how you get on. 

 

Spoiler
Right click on empty space in the Battlefront folder, hen choose New > Text Document. Name it "user.cfg" and drop in the text above.

If you have issues, you may need to unhide file extensions. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ie/windows/show-hide-file-name-extensions#show-hide-file-name-extens...


@iamndonn Thanks for the confirmation!
