Hokay, this is what I've done:

[APGame.APUIAction_CC_SpecializationSelectionManager]
nMinSelectedSkillsForValidSpecializationConfiguration=9
nMaxSelectedSkillsForValidSpecializationConfiguration=9
SELECT_SKILL_MARKUP_STRING=""
DESELECT_SKILL_MARKUP_STRING=""
REMOVE_SKILL_RANK_MARKUP_STRING=""

This hasn't managed to change that 3 Specialization Limit, however... I've changed the same segment in both the DefaultUI.ini and APUI.ini, but to no avail... is there something I've forgotten?

You have to actually finish Saudi Arabia and choose your specializations for it to work, as far as I can tell it's not retroactive.

Yes, this I know, as I had just blitzed Saudi to check if it had worked, no dice. It did let me select/confirm the skills to specialize in and works as normal up until you select more than 3 Specializations, at which point the skills are highlighted(highlit?) as being specialized in, but you can't put points into them.
What I haven't done is put points into each skill as you Specialize in it, if you know what I mean.

That is, Select the skill(in Specialization Menu) -> put points into it -> select next skill(in Specialization Menu) -> put points in, etc.

I'll be trying this next, gonna be a bit, last save is at the Saudi Safehouse before the last Saudi Mission.

Yeah, it looks like you're right. My bad for posting bad info

Also I should note that perks with a requirement of 99 are also unobtainable, in addition to Deadeye. The Man Who Knew Too Much, Investigator, and Unlimited Minutes are not technically implemented so even if you set the value to 1 and do what the description says, you won't acquire them.

Hey, no prob! It's a start at least. Meh, it'll get figgered out eventually, guess we'll just have to keep at it. What I've noticed happens as what appears to be a side-effect of the previously mentioned edit is that when you get to the Specialization screen you can remove ranks from skills. Actually, now that I think about it, for all I know you can do that anyway.

Just incase anyone's interested, in the APGame.ini file under [APGame.APPawn_Player].

Change the line: PlayerSneakingEnemyVisionPercent=0.5f
To: PlayerSneakingEnemyVisionPercent=0.0f

Just crouch and all of a sudden you become effectively invisible to guards. Good for some amusement.

Edit: Doesn't work on cameras unfortunately.

i'm pretty sure the number of specializations is hard coded into the game. When I was looking it up, there are 3 bytes that are tied to specializations. The number of specializations you select is not a counter like in other games, so I'm pretty sure we're stuck.

Is recruit even on easy acutally freelance on hard difficulty ?

I ask as since when i Mod the APLevelChart.ini

[APGame.APLevelChart]
LevelChart=(MinXPNeeded=0,APGained=30, ...

to ..

[APGame.APLevelChart]
LevelChart=(MinXPNeeded=0,APGained=600, ....

(600 AP is total AP for all skills to be 15)

So I am level 1 with all skills at 10 and about to do the tutorials and I go to parker's stealth course , the Disable alarms are very hard with 12 nodes to connect and I find it hard to manually bypass within the alloted time, same with picking lots .

My first play through was a Field agent/spy on easy and it was nothing like this.
