Generate a Insurgency Game.ini

Sandstorm's settings are divided between Game.ini and Engine.ini, and inside each file you also have to get the section header right — the file alone is not enough.

The Game.ini format

It is sectioned INI. A setting is only read if it sits beneath the correct section header, and those headers are long, fully qualified names, not short labels. Get the header wrong and the effect is identical to never having written the setting.

The mistake that wastes an evening

Launch arguments override the INI files, and a lot of server settings can be passed that way. So if Game.ini seems to be ignored, read the startup command first: there is a good chance something there is winning over the file.
