Thanks for the replies guys. So I re-installed the game in C:/Games. I then was able to edit the DCG.ini and save it. But it has no effect on the game, for example, I changed the starting soldiers to "19," engineers to "9" and they still are at default values after a new game has been made. I did edit some properties on the .exe to allow a bunch of things but still no luck. Laslty, dubious thank you too for your post. I have to follow all those steps to just modify EW? To be honest they are confusing a little too in depth for me. I tried to go in to MyGames -> Xcom and edit the config file there but the DGC.ini is empty except for a line of "[XComGame.XGTacticalGameCore]"
