Re: Not Saving Progress or Video Settings

So I figured out the issue with this game and others (Battlefield 1 for example).  The problem was with Controlled folder access in Windows 10 (newer feature with Fall creators I believe, and also in the Insider Preview builds which I'm running).  Once I turned if off, everything works perfect.  I would see an error when launching the games that the folder access was blocked, but everything ran fine so I assumed it wasn't an issue.

To check the setting, open Settings > Update & Security > Windows Defender (left nav) > Open Windows Defender Security Center > Virus & threat protection > Virus & threat protection settings and then scroll down to Controlled folder access.  I turned mine to off, and everything works now.

Hopefully this may help some of the other folks having this issue.
