In game settings are not saved

ZcarlitoZ · October 2020

Hi, when I try to save settings in game, it does not save. It automatically reset to the previous settings. For example, I try to do windowed mode and click save but it does not save to windowed mode. It is still at full screen. Another example is the mouse zoom sensitivity does not save when I try to change it. I have reinstalled the game but does not work. Any help?

There are 3 options to test/try:

#1. Keyboard not compatible with CrossFire West.

CrossFire West only supports English (US) QWERTY keyboards and German QWERTZ keyboard (you must select it in the game options).

You need an English (US) QWERTY keyboard. You can try this, although it is recommended to have a real one:

Check the configuration on Windows (Control Panel / Language).

Step 1: Go to the Start button and open "Control Panel".
Step 2: Choose the option "Clock, Language and Region".
Step 3: Select "Regional and Language Options" and in the "Installed Services" section, click "Add.
Step 4: If your keyboard is set to "French" (AZERTY) change it to "English US/UK" (QWERTY)".
Step 5: In the "Keyboard" section, choose "English (US) QWERTY and apply the changes by clicking "OK"

This method only applies if you get this message:

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","src":"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/L3Pezl1.png"}[/IMG2]

Important:

If you don't have the right option selected in the game, it won't work.

This is AZERTY:

This is QWERTZ:

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","src":"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/Nm4dGxu.png"}[/IMG2]

This is QWERTY:
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","src":"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/P3mYYsB.png"}[/IMG2]#2. System.dat. Uncheck the "read-only" property.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","src":"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/wxhYNTU.png"}[/IMG2]

Uncheck this (it says read only in Spanish). You might have that checked. If yes, that means the game can't change your options.

Steps:

Go to CrossFire folder on My documents.
My Documents, please.
Find the file called "System.dat".
This file "System.dat" is checked/marked in "read-only", I guess. If that is the case: Uncheck that "read-only" option and try clicking "Save changes".

#3 Windows Defender.

If the above did not work, then try this: In your Windows Defender settings, there is an option for “controlled folder access”. You need to disable “controlled folder access” in Windows Defender or another antivirus so CF can save your settings.

PD: Remember to do this outside of the game.
