    Just had a peek to ensure that the patch hadn't reverted my engine.ini, but out of curiosity looked at user.ini as well, and found

    FoliageQuality=3
    ShadowQuality=3
    TextureQuality=3
    ViewDistanceQuality=3
    EffectsQuality=3
    PostProcessQuality=3
    OverallQualityLevel=3
    sg.ViewDistanceQuality=3
    sg.AntiAliasingQuality=3
    sg.ShadowQuality=3
    sg.PostProcessQuality=3
    sg.TextureQuality=3
    sg.EffectsQuality=3
    sg.FoliageQuality=3

    Which one of these files loads first? And if engine.ini loads first, does user.ini then override it and wipe all my tweaked settings?

    That is the text file that relates to your in-game settings and the numbers are pre-determined UE4 settings. They have no bearing on your engine.ini file.

    If, for example, you set the in-game settings to 'low' I believe you would see those change to 1 rather than 3. Trying to raise them beyond their current maximum has no effect sadly.

    Your engine.ini settings are something entirely different.
