Re: Custom Reticle color not saving

@Sazabi888Similar issues can occur of your PC account lack permission to write to your config file.

Try this:

  1. Navigate to C:\Users\[YourPCUsername]\Saved Games\Respawn\Apex\profile
  2. Rightclick on the file named "profile.cfg" (you might not see the .cfg part if you don't have that enabled) and select properties
  3. Untick the read only checkbox
  4. Click apply and exit
  5. Now try to restart Apex and change your crosshair settings again.

    @Godisbullen Hi already tried that permission not issue. The file is writeable and not locked by read permissions. Can see it updated correctly once Apex closes. The weird thing is something else changes it back on next relaunch. So must be some other file or mechanism somewhere that's overriding the local config including the profile.cfg file. Noticed if I change jetpack from toggle to hold it reverts on next launch too.
  • @Sazabi888 This might be an ugly workaround, but it could do the trick.
    Launch Apex and configure the settings to your liking, now, before closing Apex, change the config.cfg file to be readonly. This should prevent other applications from overwriting it.

    You could also check your steam launch options for Apex. Make sure you're not executing some other config file or something like that.

    @Godisbullen Thanks for the help and replies Tried that too unfortunately. So even if you lock the profile.cfg. it just switches back to default. So if you reload again it doesn't read the setting. Weird. 😟
  • @Sazabi888I've got one more thing you can try.

    deleting the file "video_settings_saved_quit" in the folder of the game :" C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Apex\cfg"

    @Godisbullen This method is good but scroll down inside of the file and look for the line "reticle color ' ' Then change it to your desired colour and then tick Read-Only back on.
