ID:170179 Ignoring illegal setting for setting INITIAL_PLACEMENT_CONFIGURATION = <name> in the Quartus Settings File

CAUSE: The Fitter found the specified invalid initialization setting in the Quartus Settings File (.qsf). As a result, the Quartus Prime software is ignoring the setting. This error can occur if you manually edited one or both of these files.

ACTION: Modify the INITIAL_PLACEMENT_CONFIGURATION line in the QSF so that it contains a valid setting. A valid setting is any non-negative integer. To avoid receiving this message in the future, Intel recommends using the Quartus Prime software dialog boxes and wizards to modify settings, rather than editing the QSF file.
