#Settings Save With Login

I usually play the game at school on their computers, every time I login I need to configure my (very confusing) settings. I got it down to a science at this point but I found it very annoying to begin with, I just feel like this would be an amazing Qol update, so please. Make the settings save to my account, not to the computer.

I believe this has been suggested already

Also, cue that one "stop playing at school" tweet

the game has an option to export your config to a file, so you can save that to a thumb drive or, if allowed, the computer and easily use that

Can confirm this saved me a ton of time at LAN events. I just saved it to a random server and downloaded it when needed. Though the option for account-bound settings would be more convenient than downloading the file onto a new device every time you log into one. Assuming you had the config for every user ever created that would only be like.. 20GB? Not a massive ask in terms of server space considering a single replay can be many hundreds of times larger than a config file and each user gets the last ten saved from their TL matches. I assume you could cut down on this by only generating a config when a user changes a setting past the default to save space on dead accounts and potentially any that stick with default settings.

an issue is which settings you save

solemn whale
#

there is some jank with how some settings are hardwarebou- yeah

serene warren
#

graphics settings can depend on the device

solemn whale
#

even controls can, kinda

#

i also know some people prefer different handlings on different keyboards

#

so its a bit funky to consider what to save

#

i mean ig that too could be an option but yk

serene warren
#

something that might be possible to save the settings per account locally?

#

for registered ones only

#

or maybe even just on a per name basis? but

#

that's a problem cuz of localstorage size

#

that's gonna be something that has to touch indexeddb probably

#

so it's a lot more complicated than it might seem at first

#

I can only see that being useful on private shared computers

#

it's not uncommon for public computers to have their site data wiped regularly

this is like a triple duped request but now with all the direct developer comments i don't know if it's ethical to scratch them random

apolagies for bad wrighting, did it with mouse

pulsar magnet
#

like, if you close out of the page, then when u open it back up it has the same controls

#

or do they wipe when you logout too

dense pasture
#

they don't, that's the issue

pulsar magnet
#

why not?

#

wouldnt that be some at least reletively simple code?

pulsar magnet
dense pasture
#

only when that falls apart is there an issue

pulsar magnet
#

sad

#

so it just wasnt coded to be able to do it?

dense pasture
#

no lol

solemn whale
#

obvious choices are [ Nothing ] and [ Everything ] but the default should be somewhere in the middle and idk what it is lol

"Save Settings to Cloud" should be an opt-in feature given people can create accounts within a minute and you can get overloaded by sheer quantity if someone had ill intentions

I had an idea cooking where people can have three slots for configs with cooldowns on how often you can overwrite/delete them but that still ran into the original issue of "this gets wonky the moment you add other devices and hardware" so I never actually mentioned it here

you could have one configuration set to the account, and every device can copy those settings but you can still freely modify them

#

so if someone's settings are mostly the same, they can import a sort of "default" setting and then modify anything they want

#

and then to make a new default there would just be a button somewhere

please guys I've been wanting this for years, clearly quite a few have

Here's the thing. Just because you saved those settings doesn't mean that the settings will work on different machines.

I mainly play at a 60-120Hz monitor with a decent enough CPU, RAM and GPU to play, but I recently tried renting a PC playing on a 144Hz monitor and more powerful GPU and CPU and my controls feels WAY more slippery than normal.

So, unless the PC you're using is actually good enough and you already adjusted those settings, it doesn't mean that it will translate to other hardware.

This is coming from experience here.

handling is like must-have on the theoretical default list

I think

Just trying to bump this for osk! Id still love this to be a feature, and I still don't think it would be too hard, plus you could keep it as another thing for supporters 👌

go to tetrio browser -> config go all the way down and export the config, Then open tetrio desktop, go to config and then drag the config file onto the game
