#Graphics settings not being saved

Every time I launch the game, it launches in Fullscreen mode with low graphics settings. If I change the settings to Fullscreen (Windowed), the screen turns black and the game stops responding, and I have to close it with the task manager. Any idea what's causing this or anything about a fix? I haven't had this issue until the patch 7.6.1 came out. Thanks in advance.

Is your client_settings file set to "Read Only"?

#

not sure, how can i check that?

#

in AppData\local\swtor\settings

#

Might need to enable hidden folders in Windows settings

#

then right click the file, properties and see if read-only is checked

read only is NOT checked

#

should it be checked or unchecked?

distant rain
#

Weird, not sure beyond that. Is the folder it's in read only?

#

unchecked

winged patio
#

it appears the whole settings folder read only IS checked

#

think unchecking this would help?

distant rain
#

hmm, my folder is read-only too and doesn't have the issue. Could try unchecking it just to be sure. Beyond that I'm not sure, hopefully someone else will have other ideas

alright well i'll give it a shot

You could try and rename the client_settings.ini to like client_settings_old.ini so it makes a new one and that might start saving properly, but I've never tried that myself. So unsure what it'll do.

i'll keep that in mind

#

thanks for your help either way

Np, I hope you can fix it, sounds like an annoying issue
