Same problem here, I also see this solution online, but I cannot fine the said folder "Path of Exile 2" in Documents\My Games\. However, I can see my other games.

Someone have a fix?

[smagru13]

Having the same issue here. None of my setting save after I close the game.

Same issue here.

cant save settings too... moreover, I had to ask my friend to send me the settings folder from Documents\My Games\... to change the language, because my folder was not created and no files are saved there

I had this issue too for a few days, but for whatever reason this morning it started saving the changes properly. I have no idea why, I figured it was something fixed in the small patch I had to download.

I had the exact same issue and manage to solve it with these steps (see whole process if it doesn't work). I usually don't take time to post, but I couldn't find the solution elsewhere so ...

1. Open Windows Security Defender
2. Open "Virus and threat protection"
3. Under "Ransomware protection", click on Manage ransomware protection
4. Untick Controlled folder access (make sure it's off)

Now, I also made these steps to make sure Path of Exile 2 would get throught security :
1. Open "Firewall and Network Protection"
2. At the bottom of the page, you should be able to click on "Allow an app through firewall"
3. Click on "Allow another app"
4. Click on Browse and go get "PathOfExileSteam.exe" inside your steam folder. Mine was located in Program files x86 > Steam > steamapps > common > Path of Exile 2
5. Click Open
6. Click Add
7. Make sure "Private" and "Public" boxes are ticked

This resolved my issue. I can now save settings AND I can use a filter, which didn't work either before this. As for the whole process, I started trying other solution provided by different users without any success until I tred this. I started uninstalling the game and tryed to reinstall it under user > Documents > My Games > Path of Exile 2 (don't do this, it doesn't work). When I installed it there, I right-clicked on my .exe file and selectered "Run as administrator". Then I got a pop up from Windows Security saying it blocked an acces to a folder. This is where I started to investigate to Windows Security options. Hope this help

I installed the game on my Steam Deck without problems, but on (a brand new) laptop the settings are not saved. Tried every solution I found online. :(

Update: I found a solution that worked for me: deleting the config file (in C:\Users\xyz\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile 2) and restarting the game. I cannot say if this only worked in combination with one of the other things that I tried (e.g. Windows Security / folder access settings) but maybe this information is helpful.

Nastavil jsem řízení ve složce pro oba spouštěcí soubory POE2 a vše už je v pořádku.
