need for speed settings not saved

@Sgt_Bones

Normally the game does make the appropriate directories on your system. I am actually not sure why it did not do so for you.. something like this would most likely be caused by a permission issue or corrupted files on your Windows installation.

Nothing corrupt, and I would think that I should at least get an error message when the directory cannot be made. Other games have made directories for their settings without problem within the last month, so permission problems do not seem to be an issue. Perhaps the simple fact that I have a german windows yet installed the game in english could have had an influence, but again, other games under the same situation have had no problems placing their files within the same area, and that as recently as 2 days before the initial NFS install.

what folders are you talking about. give more details.

The folders which contain the settings files for the game itself, which should have been created in the standard path C:\user\$username$\documents\Need for Speed\settings. The folder need for speed and settings had to be created by hand before the game would save any settings, the game did not create the folder by itself during installation and re-installation, and provided no feedback that this did not occur. One other note: This was a preorder through Origin directly, not from an outside source.
