Trouble With Optimizations
Trouble With Optimizations

Troubleshoot game optimizations not working, unable to activate optimizations, optimizations reverting or applying themselves after restart.

Updated over a week ago

We're here to provide you quick and easy solutions if you are facing trouble with game optimizations not working, being unable to activate any optimizations and optimizations reverting or applying themselves after restart.

Game optimizations do not work

If your game optimizations do not seem to work and you are receiving the "That's a bummer!" error, use the following solution:

  1. Download the Sed.dat file from here: Google Drive link

  2. Paste the Sed.dat file into the following address inside Windows Explorer: %localappdata%\Programs\Hone\resources\assets\hone-resources.

That should be all, make sure to check your Anti-Virus as it might be the reason the file was missing and avoid it happening in the future by adding Hone as an exception.

Can not activate any optimization

If you are unable to activate/enable any optimization, it can be resolved with the following fixes:

Sync Date and Time

  1. Open Settings > Time and Language > Date and Time.

  2. Synchronize your time by clicking on Sync now

Optimization reverts or applies itself after a restart (FIXED)

This has been fixed in the latest Hone update!

Can't find my game in Game Settings

This depends on if the installer was ran with administrator privileges or not, it can change the account on which Hone gets installed. This account could be the one where you don't have your games! Try installing Hone by running the installer as administrator, and without. Alternatively, you can download this installer: Hone installer.

Can't change Fortnite settings or Optimization did make any changes

If Fortnite isn't saving your settings, try these troubleshooting steps:

  1. Click on Start.

  2. Type %localappdata%, and then press Enter.

  3. Navigate to \FortniteGame\Saved\Config\WindowsClient\.

  4. Right-click GameUserSettings.ini, and then click Properties.

  5. Uncheck the Read-Only checkbox.
