Settings not saving properly
On the first launch everything was fine, messed with the settings a bit as I always do with new games. However now every time I start the game it will always use these settings:

The strange thing is that I've never even touched some of those, and the fov was at 97 on my first launch. It's like the game defaults to some other config entirely.

I had this issue as well.

Oddly ended up keeping them as they worked well for my setup, even the 30FPS lock which is something I wouldn't do normally. But I moved textures back up to high... And had to do it every launch.

Windows 10, AMD

Just noticed my mouse sens also won't save, so it's not limited to gfx options. Also the settings it keeps using looks like they would be for the console version (lower fov, fxaa, 30fps lock). Maybe some old config file from the console release gets loaded?

Yup same here, NOTHING is saved when you leave the game.
Worst part is that redux is checking your local language settings and bypassing steam language completely, most infuriating "feature" in games lately:/
I really hope they fix it fast.

I had a bit of an issue getting it to save, but eventually it all saved for me including mouse smoothing.

Win 10, AMD R9 290x8gb.

EDIT: Just logged in again, and everything reset so it seems I'm getting the same issue.

Yeah, my game reverts to 30fps every time I launch the game. Very annoying.

Only controls seem to stay as configured.

I noticed that too.

Same here, graphics settings are changed/applied randomly after restarting the game. For instance changing a setting like. turning off motionblur will after restarting disable lights shafts instead and turn motion blur back on.
Other settings are affected as well, texture quality always reverts back to low even when set to high.

same, random settings at each start, control reset each time .Waiting patch

So does this NOT happen for anyone? So far everyone who replied had the same issue. Seems kinda weird it would be universal since no settings saving should be pretty obvious in QA.

Good question, maybe they did not tested it as they should (by a big number of testers), this is free update for a not so new game.
They could have tested it only within the dev team and MAYBE it was not happening on their PC's.
Who knows...
Either way i am waiting for a patch.

Settings don't save at all, whether you restart or not. This is for advanced settings, been trying to turn off motion blur and it constantly turns itself back on as you can't apply the changes.

Same problem here.

Same

Good to hear I'm not the only one. Although, it seems that the settings everyone reverts to differ slightly per system. Mine keeps setting textures back to medium, antialiasing to txaa, and keeps enabling vsync. I turn textures to high, AA to smaa t2x, and disable vsync each time. The reset is the same every time.
