[0.14.1][pending] [posila] Graphical setting/ options not saving on restart

0.14.1 - when I open the game from steam the game launches in windowed mode, I also made some changes in graphic and also options such as save intervals, help at the start and pausing on research completion. So every time I launch the game I have to change all the setting back. Bu the main issue is on my laptop, I reduce the graphic settings down (which requires a restart) only for them to reset to high on the restart. Thi makes the game extremely slow. Any help is greatly appreciated as I know your guys are extremely dedicated to the game and the community.

I can't reproduce the issue. Can you post here your log? It is located at %APPDATA%\Factorio\factorio-current.log

You can try to delete config file (maybe it has wrong permissions and Factorio can't overwrite it). It is at %APPDATA%\Factorio\config

Also it is possible to set some of the graphic options from launch options in Steam: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=9300
But I would really apprectiate if you could post the log, so we can hopefully figure out what is causing the issue.

Hi, I'm getting this issue with the current build 0.14.2

The options of:

tree-sprite-mipmaps=false
video-memory-usage=low
texture-compression=false

all get reset to the above settings when the game is relaunched. Other settings, such as V-Sync, are actually saved.

Here's my start-up log:

That one's been resolved and since this looks like a duplicate this is probably good as well. I'll leave it to you guys :)

You are correct. The issue you have has been introduced in 0.14.2 and will be fixed in 0.14.3. ahomelessfish's issue is something different

Still waiting for ahomelessfish's log. It might be somehow Steam Cloud related, it might not be ... I don't event know if ahomelessfish plays on Steam :(
