Game Settings not Saving / Getting Reset

Post by Seraph86 »

Hi, most of my settings get reset after i restart the game.

including grpahics settings like vsync, standard vs dynamic range, scroll speed and such ... they reset after i restart the game.

even without restarting, if i set my max framerate to 140, accept the changes, now i am in the game itself, then opening the settings again the max framerate is 141 (1 pont above what i set). if i put it down to 140, accept, then go settings again its also 141.

i already tried removing all write protection in the games folder but it doesn't seem to stick.

that's with the normal / stable build as well as the beta build.

having win11 with intel i7 13700kf, nvidia rtx 4070 ti, samsung ssd 980 pro (NVME), 32 gb ram DDR5.

Thanks for the report, we will investigate.

We haven't noticed similar reports from other issues, so it's possible that there may be a system-specific interaction that's causing this.

To help figure out what's going on we'd need some information:
1. Please upload the following to this post: DxDiag report and SessionLog found in the game's log folder here: \Distant Worlds 2\data\Logs
2. What platform are you playing on? Steam, GOG, or Standalone Slitherine?
3. It's possible that there may be some kind of anti-virus/security interactions that may be having an impact. Have you tried temporarily disabling your anti-virus/security software and seeing if that helps?

If there's any additional info you can provide us that you think may be related to this that would also be helpful.
