I was looking for the parameter which is handling the background so I opened the settings.cfg file, then the search module with CTRL+F and typed BACKGROUND, I was surprised that the search found nothing. I have eventually found it manually line 121 with this ortho :
G_USE_HIGH_QUALITY_ACKGROUND =
"ackground" should be correct "background" since most of users would instinctively search as me "back" in the module in order to find the parameter.
the name of lastClientStartVerion.txt in the games install folder should be lastClientStartVersion.txt
in /logs the file graphcisinfo.txt should be graphicsinfo.txt
typo is there
how ever ... the settings.cfg itself isnt required to be manually searched for anything because the settings should be handled through the games menu.
its developers decision to spent time and effort to change it or not
found in settings.cfg:
C_MOUSE_BUTTOM_SWITCH = false //Switch build/remove mouse buttons
c_mouse_BUTTON_switch
G_MAX_SEGEMENTSDRAWN = 10000 //Max segments Drawn at once (view distance)
g_max_SEGMENTSdrawn

G_USE_HIGH_QUALITY_ACKGROUND = true
g_use_high_quality_BACKGROUND
G_USE_TWO_COMPENENT_SHADER = false
g_use_two_COMPONENT_shader
And not sure about this one, but it seems like it ought to be g_water_USES_mipmaps:
G_WATER_USER_MIPMAPS = false

Yes. But it would be definitely more mods friendly (I guess some peoples would create some launcher's skins, etc.).

That, and the variables are read and written from code, so it may be more maintenance friendly and less error prone to correct these things early on, especially once more than one developer works at it.

-QA Testing-
Most of these were fixed, the few that weren't are written down in a separate doc. Tasks like these are confusing especially since many keep adding errors/typos that were already mentioned somewhere else.
