Can anyone help with this

[Wildfowler]

I go to options and set up the video options for best performance for my machine.

Next time I go to the simulation the video options have all returned to were they originally where!

How can I save them?

Thanks

It's a bug in MED2. For some reason it won't save the config files for mod's. You have to open for_king_or_country.cfg in notepad and edit the settings by hand.

Thanks for that.

By the way, thanks again for a superb mod!

Actually, here's the thing: the reason MTW2 doesn't save the config settings is if you try to specify them in the .cfg file. Then the game will feed settings from them instead of its own compressed video/sound settings file, and you'll never get those settings to save.

To fix this problem, remove most of the [video] entry in the BCW .cfg (you can leave in stuff like windowed mode and no-movies).

SO,

I've tried doing that many times, it has never helped. Infact I had this problem all the way throughout the development of BC.

Are you saying that you have nothing in your [video], and yet the settings refuse to save? If so, try just deleting the settings file and let the game rebuild it. I've had this problem persistently for a year or more, until I removed the [video] from my PItalica cfg settings.

Yeah I've tried just about everything that people have suggest, nothing will make the game write to my cfg.

No no

The game will not write to the cfg. It's not supposed to write to the cfg, ever. If you remove the [video] section it will save the video settings to the user's local settings file.

There is no way to distribute video settings you specify, to every user of the mod. Many values, notably texture quality, have no correlative entry in the CFG; at the same time if you specify at least some [video] settings (to nudge the game towards its proper appearance), the game will understand that to mean that its locally stored graphical settings are to be disregarded; meaning that even if the user manually adjusts them the game will never retain them past the current session of the game.

If you omit the [video] section altogether, the users will be able to adjust their graphical quality to the level that suits them, and the game will save those settings.
