Unexplained bad performance with sample

So I was able to figure out the problem of performance. The executable would run the sample at a resolution of 1600x1000 by default, which is too high for my laptop, so it ran like crap. To lower resolution, I had to manually create a Config folder and a file called DefaultGameUserSettings.ini. I copied the GameUserSettings.ini contents for it and then I was able to change resolution to my laptop’s native one. This was trial and error, I really don’t understand how configuration files work at the moment. I couldn’t find an clear documentation on them either.
