Game Settings Save Bug

[k1nqless]

When I change something in the default game settings, it doesnt save anywhere and resets whenever I restart the game (game starts in window, with special effects set to off and all sound settigns set to 10/10). I get tired of making adjustments when I enter every game.Im on Windows 10. Tried reinstalling the game and deleting game files in the Documents folder and in the steam folders. Im not sure if the game started saving its settings elsewhere but since the problem started, it doesnt create any files in the Documents folder anymore (not even after reinstalling it). So that might be it.The game files are located on a different drive than the steam files and the windows documents files are, not sure if that plays any role in this though.

And another player too.. link

From what you have described, it sounds like your Windows User Account does not have the proper administrative permissions in order to read/write your hard drive - which is why the files are not being created. First off, please ensure that your Win10 user account has admin permissions, and if that does not resolve the issue, follow the steps below:

Run Steam as an Administrator
- Fully close out of Steam and restart your computer.
- After restarting your computer, right-click on the Steam icon > select "Run as Administrator"
- Try launching the game and changing the settings after you have administrator access.

Run the Game as an Administrator
- Try running Don't Starve dontstarve_steam.exe as an administrator in your game folders (Steam\steamapps\common\Don't Starve Together\bin\dontstarve_steam.exe)
- Right-click on it and select "Run as Administrator"
- Change the game's settings to your preference.

Hi @k1nqless

A few questions in hopes to figure out what's going on.

-Is there even a Klei directory in your documents folder?

-Could you perhaps tell me the full path to your documents directory?

Thanks,

Kaj

@bizziboi Hi 

It was before deleting.. I try edit usersettings.ini file but doesn't work. I delete all DoNotStrave file. I dont have any file in Documents\Klei.

C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Klei  Full path.

When I change something in the default game settings, it doesnt save anywhere and resets whenever I restart the game. Like that Link

@k1nqless

If you delete the Klei directory, does the game recreate it? (or do you have other games that use it as well and thus can't delete it?)

As for the documents folder, is the username an English word or does it have foreign characters?

Thanks,

Kaj

I redownload 4-5 times. Ds dont creat new file in Documents. I have DST and I think DST creates new file.

Yea it have foreign characters. Have ''İ" like that C:\Users\ALİ\Documents\Klei

Hi @k1nqless

Thanks for the information, I'll have to investigate. I suspect it's the 'İ' in the username.

Can you investigate my problem as well (game is unplayable!)? Game's path in my case has Cyrillic symbols in it. Probably my problem is connected with OP's problem.

I can't play it after game updated itself to version 222215.
