The only problem I have with this game

[Goenitz]

is the fact that game options are not machine-independent and are synced through Steam Cloud.

Let me explain: I play Toki Tori on different machines, with different resolutions and different capabilities. So I have to turn visual effects to the max when playing on my desktop PC, only to lower them every time I play on my netbook, and so on.

If this was a local setting, Toki Tori would be a perfect game for me.

I'm sure you could use the command line launch options to specify what you'd prefer on each machine.

Goenitz, unfortunately THIS is the main purpose of Steam Cloud. To keep every save and settings on different machines.

No, it isn't! Hardware-specific settings like video-resolution or details etc. should not be synced.
Only hardware-independent settings like keyboard-configurations and saves should be synced. As far as I know Valve's Cloud-enabled games do not sync things like video-resolution or details for the simple fact that the whole point of Cloud is machine independence.

However, Toki Tori offers almost no hardware-specific settings in its regular settings menu and one could argue if "visual effects" is really that hardware specific.
Toki Tori is doing a really good job at auto-configuration and offers command line parameters for almost everything else.
Maybe the best solution to the ops problem would be a command line parameter to override the "visual effects" setting if there isn't one already.

Good news!
We've added a visualeffects commandline argument for the next update.
You can overwrite the saved visual effects with this.
It's used like this '--visualeffects <level>' were <level> is 1, 2 or 3. (for 1, 2 or 3 stars.)
Again, it should be in the next update.

All of these updates and support. You treat us too, well! :p

This info is in the FAQ now. (It will be easy to find if you need this in the future.)
