[6.0 HF1] 2 Minor issues with saving filters in Map Options and Graphic settings

Post by Tyronis84 »

Hey all,

I'm not sure what's causing this, but every time I go into the Filters and make changes say check the "Show Faction Colors" it will stay active for that X4 Session, but then the moment I leave the game or exit the game and go back in, the filter options reset and Faction Colors is not checked anymore. Also, the Graphic settings, it constantly defaults to MSAA x8 as the AA setting every time I start the game. I change it to my setting I want, it will stay active for that session, and same thing happens, once I leave the game and come back it goes back to MSAA x8. Only the AA too... if I change the other graphic options say from High preset to Ultra, then leave and come back, that will stay to what I left it before, so I'm not exactly sure what's up.

Can't tell if this started with 6.0 or before, but figured I would let you guys know. (I started playing the game during 5.10)

thanks!

This normally means that your personal folder for the game, the one which contains the savegame folder, has been set to read-only for some reason.

Ugh ok,

Looks like my folder in the documents folder is set to read only and no matter what I do to change it , it always reverts back to read only, I'll have to keep on digging on my end to see how I can find, I have full admin rights to my own computer so I have no idea why this is doing it sadly, even trying fooling around with my virus protection and it still reverts back.

The weird thing, if I change an input key for example, save it , then leave the game and come back in, that same input I just changed stays with the new change.. and aren't the input keys in the same folder location? So it's weird it would remember those changes, but not the others ya know?

thanks,
