That is so much BS that they took a simple INI file and encrypted it. That makes no sense once so ever. If it was a plain old INI file you would be able to use Notepad ++ or a common text editor. EA has terrible customer support. Even if you live here in the U.S.
Now since you more than likely messed up the INI file/s you may in fact have to reinstall the game to rebuild those INI files I'm afraid. I could have a look at these INI files, decrypt them and edit the required lines to change the options you need. I should be able to do it. I'm not sure however on what lines need to be edited. So if you upload the INI files to Mediafire or something and tell me what lines you need edited I can have a look. I don't log into this forum very often, but I'll check this thread tomorrow for a response.
Yeah tell me about it, that's what everyone else was pointing out. But to be fair they apparently admitted that they went overboard, and should have separated the basic settings from settings that can greatly benefit you so you can climb the leaderboards easily. But release a patch then, so yeah, it's BS. How long could it take -_-
There are INI files in the default directory that are used to default the settings. I altered them as well as the ones the game uses located in My Documents to see if that was the source the game read from. You can easily fix the ones in My Documents by deleting the folder and starting the game, which generates fresh files. But not the default ones. However, I tried many things before resorting to a forum and I already uninstalled the game in reinstalled. So all files are back to normal but I still don't have a solution.
I can actually modify the files to what seems fine, like the guy did in his OP in the link I provided, but the game acts as if the changes never happened. I think he had the same problem. If you want to give it a go here is the link as well as both programs I used to edit the files:

I used the INI editor to modify what were obvious parts of code to change, such as key configs, but the game never recognised those changes. The changes were saved when viewing them again in the editor though so I don't know what's going on. Do you have the game? Thanks for your help.
