Notable they are post processing setting, sound channel and ambient occlusion level.

When I set post processing to enhanced, after gaming on a server it reverts back to normal setting. Sound channel keeps reverting back to 32, and ambient occlusion is little weird because on the bar it is where high setting should be, but it says it's normal.

Was searching for the same problem, I also have the same issue as above.

Occlusion quality resets to normal from high, but the actual visual slider stays at the highest mark, so I have to drag it back then up again to high, however it reverts on map changes or even during the round after hitting esc.

Post Processing Preset constantly reverts back to normal no matter what I set it to, when I put war movie on I notice the effect in game, but again after map change or esc during the round it resets itself to normal and can no longer see the affect. Thats the only 2 video settings that reset for me, the rest stick.

I haven't check the sound option change like the above poster but I haven't checked that.

Exact same problem, and I'm posting to bring this to people's attention. I find it hard to believe that only three of us are coincidentally having the same issue - is everyone just ignoring what seems to me as a such an easy bug to spot?

Worst thing is (with the exception of the audio max channel setting - that has always reset to zero), these settings defaulting all the time only started with the final beta patch. Before that they were fine! So how do you manage to break something unrelated to the supposed ingame fixes that were addressed? I'm no developer but surely fixing menu behavior and actual gameplay are two entirely different things?

Just to comfirm audio channel also resets like the above posters, have it set to 128, if I change it to something lower it reverts itself.

Hope this is a known issue to fix, I really like the war movie affect :(

my question is, why do i have to restart the game for EACH SETTING COLUMN... can't i set my video, audio, and everything else that requires a restart THEN restart? making playing extremely difficult :(

Tried again after patch, deleted engine.ini reset all the settings to what I wanted, made the ini read only and it still reset the same settings :confused:

Its annoying constantly having to reapply settings because the game resets it self, please fix :)

I'm having problems wiht Light Shafts option. I try to keep it on, but game usually turns it off on its own.

For example: I'm playing a map and notice that Light Shafts are off. I go to settings and turn them om. Back to playing, but they are still off. I check settings again and the Light Shafts is again un-ticked. Sometimes after map change the light shafts are on even if I haven

Still getting all these issues after the latest patches... What's going on? My PC can max the game with ease but it wont let me... Really annoying me now - needs to be addressed.
