Graphics Settings keep resetting

[Squatting Samurai]

Title pretty much says everything. Every time I restart my game I have to change the Resolution scale because it defaults to 33% instead of 100%, turn the Fullscreen Exclusive mode on because it keeps switching to Borderless, and change a couple other settings too. This happens every. Single. Time.

Tried disabling and enabling Read-Only mode, tried disabling Nvidia DSR, tried disabling Controlled Folder Access - nothing changes. Every single time I restart my game I have to change all the settings back, which is annoying.

I've had the exact same issue with Modern Warfare 2019, but changing the config file to Read-Only resolved the problem. It is not the case, however, with this game.

I don't know if this is because the game hasn't launched yet, or because it's on Steam, or god knows why, but it is extremely uncomfortable and I can't figure out how to fix this issue. Goggle searches didn't result in anything

Anyone has faced this problem and maybe knows how to solve it? Please, I need help

What I did and what seems to have solved the issue was open the game, then open the folder containing all of the configs with settings for the game (should be in User > Documents > Call of Duty > players), changed EVERY SINGLE SETTING AND KEY-BIND to what I wanted them to be, saved those settings, then went into the properties of every single config file in that folder and turned "Read-only" on. It is annoying since there is like 6 or 7 of those config files, and you won't be able to change the settings in the future unless you turn "Red-only" off, but it seems to have worked for me. Or maybe the devs just fixed this bug and it was simply corellation

When your game first starts to loadup from Steam. As soon as fullscreen comes up with the black background and the loading splash screen, start clicking the black background Not the splash screen.
Basically the game loses focus while it's initially loading and if it's not corrected some of your settings revert. When you start clicking that black background it pulls it back into focus before your graphics settings are initiated, this is why you do it as soon as it pops up.

This has been a bug on the last several CoD titles.

Forget what I said, just restarted the game and all the settings got reset again, despite working yesterday. What the actual hell is going on

I'll try doing that but this just seems so unpolished. I could fix this problem with BF 2042 and COD: MW 2019 by simply setting the config to "Read-only", but it doesn't work for this game for some reason

I get it. I've been battling this bug for years now since it's been happening since they added that Warzone menu in the normal CoD games. If I forget to click.,.... reset my shiz.... Very annoying to say the least.

Even if this is the case....we shouldn't have to do that lol....needs fixing immediately I'd say.

Indeed. But since they apparently don't give two ♥♥♥♥♥ about it. I posted a workaround for you....

Just did what you said. The graphic settings didn't change, but I still had to put it back into fullscreen exclusive mode. would still take changing one setting every time I start a game over changing a dozen of them, so thank you

I agree, but unfortunately this is probably due to the fact that most AAA games are made for consoles first and then ported to PC. Every single game on Frostbite engine launches in a small window roughly 1/6 of the actual size and resolution of my monitor, and then it takes a good couple seconds for the game to "convert" to fullscrean after I click on that window.

Doesn't justify the fact that this is happening because it's not that hard to save my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ settings, but this could be a reason why. Consoles simply don't have those issues and it is an oversight that companies just won't fix for some reason

No prob, and it should start keeping fullscreen exclusive too. Gotta be quick. (and I also tend to click a lot.)
