Graphics Settings Reset

[RyGuy]

Every time I close the game and come back my settings are reset. Any ideas?

Same, It also resets for me when going into new lobbies/games sometimes. Also my key-binds seem to be resetting at the same time.

For me it was Windows Defender stopping CoD from creating/manipulating Files under Documents. Maybe check your Defender-Log if thats the case, too

Thanks

Have you tried to change the property of settings file to "not write protected", change then your settings in game and then make the properties safe again?
Or to edit the file directly?
The config file is located in the “player” folder, which is in the “players” folder, which is in the “main” folder. To get to the “main” folder, you need to go to the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare installation folder. The default installation folder is “C:\Program Files (x86)\Call of Duty\Modern Warfare.”
Once you’re in the “main” folder, open the “players” folder. In the “players” folder, open the “player” folder. The config file is located in this folder.
To edit the config file, you need to open it with a text editor.

THANK YOU. I found this post and then checked my logs, this was 100% the issue. I could see cod.exe being blocked from creating new files in Windows Defender's logs. When I created an exception, settings started saving. Can't believe how hard it was to find a solution to this and thanks for posting this, I am grateful I found your note.
