[RESOLVED] Since updating to 4.5 HF2 Settings are not saved.

Post by machtoo »

Need some guidance to fix this issue. Since upgrading to 4.5 Hotfix 2 any settings I change are reverting to some default. To correct the screen flashing I set HDR off and turn on Vsync with triple buffering. This fixes the display flashing issue. I still have to import my control xml each time I startup or change aircraft as it returns to a default control file.

This is all frustrating. Primary issued is the graphics settings changing every startup. I have checked the p3d.cfg file and it is not read only.

Any clues as to what is going on?

P.S. The graphics, traffic settings etc return to some default and I have to reset them every startup.

I completely uninstalled P3D and reinstalled 4.5 twice. I added add ons one at a time and tested launch each time. Stay away from anything that did not state P3D V4. All stable and working normally at this point. The only thing I did not install the second time was UTLive which requires a manual edit of the simobjects.cfg and exe.xml. When I did that the first reinstall it crashed at the splash screen. I have seen online where people are running it successfully. Hopefully they will release a native P3D V4 version.
