Re: Solved: Settings Reset on Startup

No dice for me. I tried deleting the file, enabling/disabling cloud sync, and running origin as admin and settings still reset.

For what its worth I also changed my origin name recently, however I'm pretty sure it was before I launched the game for the first time.

Like you said, haven't really seen anyone else with this issue.

    @BMEMEM The above recommended also didn't work for me. I eventually discovered the game saves settings to "C:/Users/<username>/Saved Games/Respawn/Apex". Due to some messing around with default windows libraries I did a few years ago my windows user profile didn't have the correct permissions for "Saved Games". I suggest you check the permissions of this folder by right clicking and selecting Properties, you will find the permissions listed in the Security tab.

    I have the same problem. And I changed my origin name too. That might be it. Maybe just gonna try to reinstall the game after work.

    Yea, that didn't help.

    @crisix23 this was 100% the solution and I am so glad I found your comment. Everyone, go to Windows(C:PC Name>Users>youruser>Saved Games>Respawn>Apex>local right click on the document called video config, and uncheck "read only".
  • Try going to the actual game file, I think it’s called r5apex, and check to see if it’s “read only” as well as the video settings. Take them off “read only” 

  • I uncheck Read Only, but when I reopen properties, Read Only is automatically checked again. I am unable to unmark the Read Only option.
