Yes, this game uses Unreal 3 Engine, for tweaks see this: http://www.tweakguides.com/UT3_1.html

Most of this tweaks might work on all Unreal 3 based' games, like gears of War, Bioshock (this one have a stand-alone guide..), etc.

the game only saves one ini file called screen.ini and all that includes is the resolution and the option to start in fullscreen or not, nothing else, tried adding a few tweaks to it but the file is wiped upon exiting the game and none of the tweaks worked in that ini... so i'm still no closer to tweaking the game.

lol, guess im the only one whos actually enjoying it, just another mindless action shooter, nice.

i like the destructable objects but the blur pis*es me off a bit. Still can't work out how to tweak any settings though, stupid ini files...

the main ini file is located here:

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Midway\Blacksite\Config

"screen.ini" and contains only

[WinDrv.WindowsClient]

StartupResolutionX=1280

StartupResolutionY=1024

StartupFullscreen=True

ini locations in the installation folder of the game:

E:\Program Files\Midway Home Entertainment\BlackSite Area 51\Engine\Config

E:\Program Files\Midway Home Entertainment\BlackSite Area 51\Engine\Config\PC

E:\Program Files\Midway Home Entertainment\BlackSite Area 51\Engine\Config\PS3

E:\Program Files\Midway Home Entertainment\BlackSite Area 51\Engine\Config\Xenon

E:\Program Files\Midway Home Entertainment\BlackSite Area 51\A52Game\Content\Tweaks

E:\Program Files\Midway Home Entertainment\BlackSite Area 51\A52Game\Config

E:\Program Files\Midway Home Entertainment\BlackSite Area 51\A52Game\Config\Foreign

E:\Program Files\Midway Home Entertainment\BlackSite Area 51\A52Game\Config\PC

E:\Program Files\Midway Home Entertainment\BlackSite Area 51\A52Game\Config\PCSeekFree

E:\Program Files\Midway Home Entertainment\BlackSite Area 51\A52Game\Config\PCSeekFree\Cooked

E:\Program Files\Midway Home Entertainment\BlackSite Area 51\A52Game\Config\PS3

E:\Program Files\Midway Home Entertainment\BlackSite Area 51\A52Game\Config\Xenon

Now i have a feeling it's either A52Engine.ini or PC-A52Engine.ini, but so far i've had zero luck with changing any settings other than the damn resolution.

    • Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.
