Fresh install of SE, brand new game-generated skyrim.ini seems off?

[Vashra1]

So...I zorched Skyrim by installing and uninstalling too many different mods, and I figured the best thing to do was just burn it down and reinstall it.

And I knew I had to get rid of my dirty modded saves even though Steam put copies of them back. And I was worried that some mod or some tweak I'd implemented previously had messed up my Skyrim.ini and/or Prefs.

I deleted them and started the game (no SKSE, just pure vanilla) - and the launcher ran through the hardware detection and presets and blah.
Ok fine.

To my understanding, I should now have spanking new clear clean ini files as per the game default.

But of course the next step was to go in and tweak Skyrim.ini -- and I wanted to look over it step by step before using Beth.ini -- and that's when I noticed that my brand new Skyrim.ini has

[Actor]

bUseNavMeshForMovement=0


And I could have *sworn* the default for that was 1...because don't the npc's kinda NEED to use the navmeshes by default?

So I went to look up the default setting on http://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:Skyrim_INI/Actor and sure enough, it confirms that the default setting is 1 -- so how can mine be set to 0 already?

It also happens to be set to 0 in Skyrim_Default.ini (which, to my knowledge, comes with the game upon a fresh install), but again, I could have sworn the default setting was 1

Just curious.

I just checked my ini and it is set to 0.

Ok *good*. I was worried I'd managed to REALLY sprondle something up lol.

I'll chock the reference to its default value being 1 on the Step Wiki as a residual marker from the Mandela Effect because typos are boring :wink:
