Video settings do not save

Hello,

Every time I start up my game I always have to change my video settings from "Texture Streaming Budget: Insane" to my preferred "Very Low: 2-3GB"; My resolution from "1920x1080" to "Native 1728x1080" and my Spot shadows from "Low" to "None" and I hit apply and the settings save UNTIL I close apex. 

When I re-open the game after closing, all of my video settings do not save.

I play on steam.

  • @sigxo Hello there, have you tried to go to
    C:\Users\[THIS_IS_YOUR_USERNAME]\Saved Games\Respawn\Apex and edit the files inside this map to verify if this changes anything?

    I play on steam. So that file path is nonexistent. And yes I have, I currently have an ongoing unsolved post regarding the file you are referring to (video config) and the file is nonexistent on my end.

  • @sigxo That's weird, because the videoconfig.txt in the saves games/respawn/apex should be the same for both EA App and Steam

    try going there manually via the windows file explorer, and if you find it, check and see if the file is set to "read only" in the file permissions

    i have mine set to read only because i disabled shadows via the videoconfig.txt and if i change a video setting in game, it will be reset when i launch the game mext time (because the videoconfig file is read only so no changes can be saved)

    try verifying files in steam on apex

    also, maybe a long shot, but if you copied the file path in the other person's message, you used your windows username right? and not your apex username (i know long shot lol)
