Some users want this because they are on very low-end PCs. Decal settings hit the hardest due to an issue in the DX9 pipeline since WinVista.
The quantity of decals in a scene drastically affects performance even on modern high-end systems.

  1. Decals kill framerates even on my i7-7700K + GTX1070 OC@2GHz desktop
    1 2
  2. With SPV3 pushing higher texture resolution, low-end GPUs are taking a big performance hit.

I suggest adding a button to the Settings menu to invoke "HXE.exe --config" with an additional parameter to go straight to menu to configure the game's stock settings.
