League-of-legends – Config file not being loaded in game

league-of-legends

I have edited my config.ini file in C:\Riot Games\League of Legends\Config to set my left click to attack move click, based on this reddit post.

When I go into a game, none of my changes to the file work. When I look at the settings in game, it simply ignores the file completely. It is as if it doesn't look at the file unless it is edited in game. How can I force it to load the changes to the config file?

I have tried changes settings in game and saving them, in the hope that it would load the rest of the saved settings in the file, but this does not work.

The simple answer is, it doesn't work anymore.

The long answer requires researching all the patches over the last 2 years (the age of the quoted post), and then figuring out when the INI options were changed/disabled. I'll post this as an incomplete answer for now, but the 2 year old post is not reliable and you should look into newer tutorials.

EDIT: Sometime around 2011 there seems to be some changes to how the INI was accessed.

But that's pretty old still, even older than your post, but it is only a reference that the client can and does change its way of accessing the INI files.

The LoL Wiki has more details: http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Hotkeys_and_commands

But it also may not be 100% accurate.
