Renderer Settings Resetting after Startup

[Killah Zillah]

Since the day I installed Payday 2, I've had to use a custom modified renderer settings file in order to have the game in a playable state. I can't play without dynamic lighting turned off for example. Since the latest update, whenever I start the game, my renderer settings are reverted back to stock options - which lack that ability to turn off dynamic lighting I mentioned - making maps like Hotline Miami and Big Bank completely unplayable due to massive input lag and frame loss.

I've tried making the file read only which only succeeded in crashing the game, giving me a crash report explaining that it could not overwrite my renderer file (and not giving me that error when I set a stock version of the file to read only, meaning that the crash was only due to the game trying to take away my custom settings).

The only mod I have installed is GoonMod. I tried uninstalling it but that didn't work either.

Does anyone have any help to offer? I'm truly stumped on what could be making it do this. Was this an intentional part of the update? Is it merely a bug that'll be fixed?

I hate to bump my topic, but maybe I posted it really early in the morning and nobody saw it. I'll only bump it once.

I'm so desperate for a way to play Payday 2 that I used the stock renderer settings options to disable textures entirely, making my game look worse than a pre-analog sticks PS1 game. It makes telling special enemies apart really difficult, as well as seeing them in dark areas, since everything has only one undetailed color between them now and most of the enemies use black and grey as a primary color (cloakers and tasers look almost identical at a glance with this setting on).

Again, does anyone know why my renderer settings file keeps resetting to stock after each startup, or how to prevent it from doing so? I can either have textures turned on or dynamic lighting turned on, and I'd rather have textures on so I can tell apart what I'm aiming at. D:

I have the EXACT same problem, word for word. Anyone?

I've heard that there was a new option added to the video settings, but I haven't seen it anywhere on the renderer settings file itself. Something called memory dump or such, I'm not sure on the name. That might be what's causing the problem, that it's resetting our files because it isn't detecting that option on them? I'm still not totally sure on that, but it's something worth mentioning in this bizarre conundrum us low end PC users are stuck in.
