Not all of my settings are resetting. The resolution I play at, controls I play with and other things are all the same as one other time when I edited them, but I'm only trying to adjust one setting and it keeps reverting back to my originally preferred settings.
I found this thread and tried to implement the same solution for myself, but it's not working for me.
I'm trying to just turn off "Allow Autoaim" in the gameplay settings and keep it off.
[Edit]: I am still running Zandronum as an Administrator, and I learned that after changing the setting and beating a level in Doom II, the setting remains changed for that runthrough, but after switching to Evilution, the settings go back to my old preferred settings. (Resolution, controls, etc. all remaining how I edited them once before, but the one setting still resetting.)

RE: My settings keep reverting back
You would want to turn off autoaim from your end if you don't want to use it. Just type into the console and it should be resolved.
Code: Select all
autoaim 0

I tried typing that in before starting a game and the option didn't change in the settings after a new game was selected.Arco wrote: You would want to turn off autoaim from your end if you don't want to use it. Just typeinto the console and it should be resolved.Code: Select all

sv_noautoaim trueTyping the above in the console works for me both before starting a new game and after starting a new game. It adjusts the setting in the "Gameplay Settings," but still reverts my settings back to what they were beforehand when Zandronum is closed and when a new game is started if I had typed the code before starting a new game.

Have you tried saving it as a command in your .ini file?

I've tried, but Zandronum overwrites the file with what was there before every time it's booted up.cenou wrote: Have you tried saving it as a command in your .ini file?
The first line in the file states,
... and reverts back every time I start it up, even if I edit it.# This file was generated by Zandronum 2.1.2 on Tue Jan 05 07:48:54 2016

You say that you're running Zandronum as an administrator, have you've been doing that for every time it's loaded? Try sticking with regular user access for a while and see if that helps. I don't really believe that there's any real incentive to have to run it under administration mode for the majority of cases.

RE: My settings keep reverting back
I started to run it as an administrator after I found that one forum post in my first message, but I was having the problem before then, too.Arco wrote:Interesting.XanyoG wrote:Arco wrote:

I installed Zandronum a while ago, and at the time I believe I initially installed it outside of Program Files (x86), then changed the settings, then put it in Program Files (x86). So I tried pulling the Zandronum folder out of there, editing the settings, and putting it back in and the settings still revert.
I made a small video to just give some visual of what's going on (I was running with regular user access) : (link)
To view the video more clearly, I recommend downloading it and playing it in some kind of viewer, not watching it in your browser.

Yes, now I see what's is happening.
I tested this issue with 3.0 and it doesn't appear to happen on it, which tells me that you may have found a bug. Please report it on the tracker.

Done. (This is my first time creating a report on a bug in the tracker. I hope I did it well enough.) Bug Report - 0002567: Settings Reset After Closing Program or After Starting New Game
