If you choose to edit any of the settings in this configuration file, then you must make sure you close SuperCROSS first. When you close SuperCROSS it saves its settings to super.ini, so if you try to edit this file while SuperCROSS is running, your changes will be overwritten when you close the client.
Some of the settings described below do not appear in super.ini by default.
