Retaining settings

Kram337 · 07-26-2007, 04:40 PM

Hey folks, Why does EQ2 never remember the changes I make to the sound section of the preferences. I turn combat music off (because it always gets stuck in a loop) and I turn music up. I have to do this every time I start the game cause it doesn't save the settings. Any trick to getting it to save?

Let me guess.. Vista and you aren't running the game as Administrator.

XP Home, and I'm admin.

Try editing the eq2_default.ini file itself? I would assume you would set combat_music_volume to 0.oo and music_volume 1.00 ? (not sure on exact values but it looks like it is in percent as a decimal.)

Are you running Fetish by any chance? If not, any other custom UIs?

Yes actually I am using Fetish Nightfall. And changing my eq2_default file didn't work either =/ which is quite strange.
