The game.cfg format doesn't seem to be available on the technical depot any more, so I played around with it and found the following:

Offset Notes
0-3 Magic number to identify it as a valid settings file. (0x0003113A)
5-20 Handles sound device.
22 Forced software buffering. (0x00 = off, 0x01 = on)
26 Construction marker. (0x00 == white, 0x01 == translucent)
28 Seems to be a combination of settings including height labels, landscape smoothing, grid lines on landscape.
29-31 Sound quality. (0x02 0x03 0x00 == Low, 0x04 0x05 0x01 = Medium, 0x07 0x07 0x02 = high)
32 Metric or imperial. (0x00 = imperial, 0x01 = metric)
33 Celsius or Fahrenheit. (0x00 = Celsius, 0x01 = Fahrenheit)
98 Scroll view when pointer at edge. (0x00 = off, 0x01 = on)
99 In game currency. (C0 == £, C9 == €)
101-102 Mysterious offset that is changed when other settings are changed.
2152-2153 Expansion pack flags.
2154-2147 Game window resolution.
2154 Options loaded first time.

(all offsets are in decimal form)

Show real name of guests doesn't seem to be stored in the config file.
