Bit of a wild goose-chase for me. When I use the settings below, the first Forest=4 setting reverts back to Forest=3 as soon as I exit the game, with no difference at all in the trees while the config still says Forest=4 during game-play.

Same here, just checked. First one back to =3 and Bottom one stays at =4
Never mind! I can't see the woods for the trees anyway according to my missus!

+1, even with two lines of forest

Try right-clicking on the conf.ini file, select properties, then check the 'read only' box, then select 'ok' or 'apply'. I found this seems to make the settings stick.

Thanks for that, yes, the settings now stick. There is however still no difference between Forest=4 and Forest=3, in terms of tree image quality or amount. Am happy enough with them as they are anyway, so no loss.
