help my settings reset when restart the game

Make all of your game settings while at the main menu; do not load into the game world and then try to make such changes. After you apply your changes, back out to the main menu, exit the game and relaunch it. To ensure they have saved.

I have already tried this but it does not work

Go into Documents\Rockstar Games\Red Dead Redemption 2\Settings and delete the settings folder, then verify the game and try again at the main menu.

Verify the game doesn't create those folders or files in Documents; that only occurs when you launch the game.

Right click the Rockstar Games folder in Documents; uncheck Read Only and apply. Some people had this issue and for some reason, this fixed it. Which is really odd since nothing like that created by a game or game client would be set to read-only by default.

Also if you use OneDrive or other Cloud Backup Service; DO NOT have it setup to backup/restore the Documents folder, period. As games need this structure. If a game saves a file into there and you allow your cloud backup service to auto-restore a file; this could have you in a loop where new files in Documents are getting old files written back to there again because the cloud backup is restoring files that have been changed or deleted.

Launch Steam via Run As Admin so then your launched game has proper rights and write abilities as well.

Some settings always reset (TXAA on high for example) and it is a bug from the DLSS release, never fixed.... If ALL your settings are resetting, it is an other problem..

[Bad 💀 Motha]

I never have ANY setting reset all on its own. I always check them.

[Birdy62]

Heuu... there are plenty posts around the web about this issue... you can try to put the TXAA value on medium and it will always revert to high... at least on the last version of the game....

Funny how I never had this happen regardless of the PC we've tried RDR2 on. I exit the game and check the system.xml and TAA is still where I set it in-game; High with Sharpness at 2.0

I loadnup the game and check the in-game options, nothing has been auto changed on me.

Only issue I have had really is this.
When I wipe the system.xml and startup the game, of course I have to do my settings again. But even after I change the volumes. Like music to 0% I exit the game and relaunch it. Now in order for this to apply to RDO I have go go into RDO session, once in press ESC Settings Audio and then change the Music level again to apply to RDO. Then exit and relaunch the game. Now it stays whrwI put it.

As I've grown tired of the in-game music especially when playing Online. So I use a custom soundtrack in background. Such as music from 1883 show, The Last of Us game; etc

Yeah, that's what i said, TAA ALWAYS revert to high... so if you set it to high by yourself, you won't see the problem... Anyway.. forget it...

Ok so this is what I'm saying. No matter what I change in-game, I check the system.xml file most of the time. Even if I put TAA on Medium, it stays, it doesn't just auto change by itself. Maybe some people are making changes, then pressing ESC instead of pressing what is the correct key for Apply Changes.

So many folks are doing something wrong or incorrect if this is happening to you, plain and simple.

I've had to go into these Steam Forums many times for many games and explain to folks HOW TO RUN Steam and everything else game related on Win10/11 because they do not seem to get it. They don't understand why you must do things a certain way. Well if you do not then you usually will have one problem or another. This could easily be one of those problems. Cause either you are allowing old files from Cloud to be restored; like from OneDrive for example, or you not running Steam & Rockstar Launcher via "Run As Admin" etc.

First thing they do wrong is install Steam to Program Files; don't do that. That is a UAC controlled area.
