Settings keep resetting
Everytime i start the game my settings are being reset "Will now detect your hardware" and sets my graphic options to low having to configure everything AGAIN.

Getting really annoying trying to find my optimal settings if everything just keeps resetting all the damn time.
Is it possible to just disable the autodetect ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that keeps coming up?

This is besides all the other issues I have with the game (some technical some just stupid design decisions)

Set the ini files to read only, after you get your settings, but before you start again.

What GPU do you have? I have seen that 750ti users have some weird issues with the hardware not being detected properly.

In Nvidia control panel make a profile for this game if it doesn't have one, then try setting it to use that GPU specifically. Add a profile for the launcher as well. It may be trying to use your igpu or something, or switching between them.

Or don't if it doesn't bother you, since your settings are sticking at least.

Did that already :) I force it to use my better GPU. Still the message comes up, anyway settings now save although sometimes it seems like the game just midway resets it, shadows go blurry, things just dissapear and reappear all the time.

Like it's changing quality every second of the game.

Hmm. Could be a slow or dying HDD. I also hear that sometimes the LOD distance is just too low in general and there's bad popin/low res textures appearing randomly. Though that doesn't explain the disappearing. (though I have noticed some occlusion box errors on a lot of objects, so looking through/past certain objects makes everything behind it derender)

Yes had this too, my SSD is pretty new and had no issues at all with it.

Lot's of those kinda problems where using like a scope details reappear and then dissapear.

Also like invisble enemies while viewing through gaps. Or just a floating body.
