Zandronum doesn't always save the config when changing it online.
Try it, and always do it in the future, in singleplayer.

If you're on Windows 7 or higher, make sure that Zandronum is not anywhere in the Program Files folder. Windows prevents writing Z& from files there, like config files. Put it somewhere like C:\Zandronum or C:\Doom\Zandronum instead.

You may also want to make it Run as an Administrator in its Compatibility settings (right click Zandronum.exe, press Properties).

That does not matter. If it cannot write to the Program Files folder it will write it to C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\ProgramFiles\Zandronum instead.

So the ini is saved anyway.
