UnrealEd not saving settings
Posted: Thu Apr 28, 2016 9:47 am
Hello everyone!
For some time already, UnrealEd is not saving any changes to the settings I make. It never really bothered me too much as I have been using the same settings for many years already, the only annoying thing is that it never remembers the last folder I used for, for example, importing textures, and the list of most recently used files is never updated.
But recently I have been changing around some more settings, such as changing the Texture browser from displaying fixed sizes to variable sizes, and I have been playing around with the sizes of the view ports a bit. But re-opening the editor resets all these changes.
It seems that for some reason UnrealEd.ini is not updated whenever I make any changes. I know I can manually edit the ini, but it is a bit cumbersome. Also, there are a few changes for which I do not know which value to change in the ini.
It used to work properly in the past though. It started ever since I upgraded from Win7 to Win8.1 and later Win10. I have already tried running UnrealEd as admin, and tried different compatibility modes, but no success. I also couldn't detect any strange things in the permissions in the UnrealEd.ini file or the UT/System folder, and the file is not set to read only. Deleting UnrealEd.ini doesn't create a fresh file either.
Does anyone have these issues as well, and does anyone know a solution for it?
