I refunded the game because resolution settings would not save

[Sir Robinhood]

To the developers I highly recommend you resolve this issue
I've seen this been issue with this game a long time
on the steam forums
your game is a good game i played for 50 minutes
I was trying to change the resolution settings from 2560x1440 to 1920x1080
every time I log back into the game it would reset back to resolution settings 2560x1440

Have you made sure that it is in adminstration mode when you changed the setting?

This wouldn't be such an annoyance if there weren't something like 15781 resolution settings that you have to scroll through every time.

That is odd...I've managed to make mine stick...are you saving and exiting properly?

My guess would be it could be your computers anti-virus blocking the changes. There's times when they can get a little stupid like that so it's at least worth a look to see if any of the files its been blocking lately include the file name Ixion.

That is the most long winded "No, I already looked" I've seen all year.

Developers have a problem with the game and they just have to fix it.

I don't know file structure, but perhaps you could find the config file and make it Read Only with the right settings?

But that right there is the problem. Because for the rest of us, it would seem, our setting can save just fine as no one else has reported this issue.

If this is truly a problem with the game then this would make it a very hard to find problem if it only effects a very limited number of people.
Or it's less a problem with the game itself and more with your computer having some trouble with that part of it. Which tends to be the more common outcome in these particular situations.

If the former then you'd be better off leaving a bug report on the games discord if you want something to be done about it. The dev's don't come around these parts much (not that that's an uncommon thing on the steam forums).
As an IT engineer with 40 years of experience you'd likely be able to give a very detailed report that could greatly help track down this rare issue.

I too consider refunding the game. I am very disappointed, we're 7 months after release and there are threads about this issue from last year.

My monitor's native resolution is 1920x1200 and it's always reset to 1920x1080 each time I launch the game.

Also, I choose Fullscreen instead of Borderless windowed and it's also always reset to Borderless windowed at each restart.

I don't have any antivirus apart from the Microsoft one integrated with Windows 11.

"No one else" ? Search for "resolution" in this forum and you'll find a lot of threads about this issue.

EDIT : Ok, Discord has also a lot of bug reports about this issue. No solution since last December. I ask for refund, sorry.

I have the issue every time I play. But I have gotten use to setting 4k down to 2k. It's weird, it is like it detects your monitors native resolution and applies it, regardless of what you have it set at.

My monitor is set at 2k, so I can manage GPU utilization, and I see no real reason to use 4k, but the game always starts in 4k. If I switch it at loading screen, I have to set it again after I load the saved game.. I can save it, then go back to main menu confirm the setting is changed and close the game.

Open it back up... back to the first step of 4k again.

Anyways... May actually beat the game now, that I have figured out the research tree haha

I reckon no one found an actual solution to this? It's incredibly frustrating (and ♥♥♥♥♥♥ of the devs) to simply not fix something like this.
