ConfigHack

Why does it exist?

On some systems, having any regular config file for ChilloutVR will cause the game to crash after about 2 minutes, when using Proton in VR. It can be worked around by symlinking the files to /dev/null, but then of course you always have the default settings when you start. This mod saves the main settings in a separate file. I don't know why this works but it does.

This thread describes the issue a bit more.

Usage

Install Melonloader.

Download the latest release of ConfigHack. Put the dll in the Mods folder and create the necessary /dev/null symlinks (back up any settings you want to keep first):

cd ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/661130/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/Alpha\ Blend\ Interactive/ChilloutVR/
ln -sf /dev/null camera.config
ln -sf /dev/null game.config
ln -sf /dev/null menu.config
ln -sf /dev/null moderationIndex.json
ln -sf /dev/null saved_calibrations.json
ln -sf /dev/null UrlWhitelist.json

If you are installing from source (or just download the Makefile), use make links to automate this process. The makefile will also first rename any existing configs to <name>.old.

Status

• game.config
• saved_calibrations.json
• camera.config
• moderationIndex.json
• UrlWhitelist.json
• menu.config

I may add support for saving more of these in the future.
