Graphics Settings Reset When I Restart The Game

[Boris]

The problem is just what i wrote here. I've got an RTX 3060 GPU and an Intel i7-11700F. For 165 Hz, I set the exact settings I want to get 165 FPS for 165 Hz, but when I restart the game, all settings return to the old settings. Does anyone know why this might be happening?

Might be the Nvidia app. Noticed that was happening to me too. Changes the game to how it thinks it should be optimised.

wait, how in the hell are you pulling 165fps even at 1080p on a 60-model card, Low and everything off, or faked interframe AI crap and lower res rendering then upscaling? you're caring about something someone told you matters, and it does not. maybe the game is trying to help you? even if you didn't have a variable sync monitor you could shoot for 82fps which is close enough to half-sync rate that you'd never see tearing... I dunno man, you do you, but what you're doing isn't necessary, choom. they don't need to match except for your OCD, and you're talking about one of the most demanding games that exists; you're giving up something to hit that high a framerate.

my guess is it's either Steam's auto-cloud or OneDrive. do you have OneDrive enabled? usually when dumb stuff like this happens it's OneDrive; the sync is messed up, might need to be reset... it might be that it's only pulling from OD to local, so you edit locally, get it the way you want, go about your life, then exit, but it doesn't push the changes; when the checks don't match it pulls down the OD copy again and "helps" you by undoing the local changes, you fire the game back up, and you're like - wait... what?!

to check, pull up file explorer, go to your OD sync'd folder, find your Cy77 configuration, which is in your profile directory under %APPDATA%\\Local\CD Projekt Red\Cyberpunk 2077\UserSettings.json, find that in onedrive, whack it, so next time it doesn't see a OD copy, and copies over the one from the PC, but this time it's edited correctly, should stop this craziness.

to check it it's part of Steam's cloud settings, just turn it off, or go into Steam\userdata\1091500\ac\ there should be a file called remotecache.vdf, open that in any text editor and see if the configuration if part of the cloud copy... I *think* it's only save games, but I don't use it, I have it globally disabled.
