Settings reset themselves

Someone543

Hi NS2 Team,
I have an Issue where all the settings will reset themselves to default every 2-3 game starts. Nothing big just very annoying. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this?

Thank you in advance

Please give me feedback the problem remains!

Your topic probably got flooded. Support is ran by volunteers so we dont always keep up.

I would start by asking if:
A. you have write permissions on the settings file
B. is steam syncing correctly? (Set it off in the options if you have doubt)

Settings should be stored in your windows user profile

I'm sorry i should have said this from the start:
I run Win7 64bit.
Where do i find the settings file? Is it an .ini file?
I have not found an ini file or a file called settings under "/Steam/SteamApps/common/Natural Selection 2".
There is also no directory called "Steam" or "ns2" in "/Users/Username/".

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Natural Selection 2 or
C:\document and settings\username\Application data\Natural Selection 2

im fairly sure there is another spot but I can not remember at this point.
Someone else will probably say, or I will if I can remember it.

Ensure you are running ns2.exe as an Administrator. Right click the shortcut and click "Run as Administrator" (you can create a desktop shortcut from steam, by right clicking ns2, you'll see a button with that option)
You can always right click your settings file and enable "read only" mode, but i'd only do this after testing what i said above first, it may not be needed.
Your settings are stored in:
"C:\Program Files\Steam\userdata\YOURSTEAMIDHERE\4920\remote\options.xml"
