You can configure settings per game through their GameINI. GameINI is a plain text file with game's GameID as its file name and INI as its file extension. It can be retrieved from game's properties, right-click the game from game list then choose '''Properties''' from the context menu, then click on the '''Edit Config''' button and edit the empty text file that pops up. When editing, carefully arranged line, headings, and capitalization are important.
