Hi, there’s an issue with the display settings—they don’t stay saved. Every time I start the game, I have to reconfigure the screen resolution and windowed mode.
Hey RickEsk,
Can you elaborate a bit more?
- What system are you on?
- Have you ever dabbled with the
AccountSettings_LOCAL.datfile in the game’s DataStore folder? - You are able to change other settings succesfully with persistency?
Silas
Hi Silas,
Thanks for your reply!!
I have this OS:
- Windows 11, 64bits
- Intel(R) Core™ i7-8750H CPU @ 2.20GHz (2.21 GHz)
- Nvdia GTX 1050 Ti - 4GB
I haven’t looked into the file you mentioned AccountSettings_LOCAL.dat; I can’t find it in the game files.
I haven’t had any problems with the other game settings—it’s just the screen resolution.
The resolution I’ve selected is a custom one that I’ve set up in the NVIDIA Control Panel; it’s not one of the game’s default resolutions.
RickEsk
Interesting, and you have to reconfigure the resolution again every session via Control Panel?
Silas
No, the only thing that doesn’t stay set is the resolution in the game.
Every time I start the game, I have to select that resolution and windowed mode.
RickEsk
I just checked the file you mentioned earlier, and it doesn’t have any properties where the screen resolution or windowed mode is set.
this is my content in AccountSettings_LOCAL.dat file:
