Title: Lost settings
Post by: Roundeye on July 28, 2009, 06:28:03 PM: Every time I open the game since upgrading, my settings are all set to default. I re-map everthing and it gets set right back to default every time I close and re-open the game.

System: Vista 64 home premium service pack 1.

Any ideas?

Is this a problem with the game, or with the operating system?

Post by: Pyro on July 29, 2009, 11:44:55 AM: It's a pain to reinstall but that's what we're strongly recommending to all Vista users who are installed in Program Files. It's just going to be an ongoing problem if you keep it where it is. Please see the Vista post up in the news and announcement forum.
