Thread: every time I bind a key or change my settings, it changes when I exit game

if I bind a key it will unbind itself, and if I change my video settings to turn off V Sync or whatnot it turns itself back on. How do I fix this?

Try setting your config file to "Read Only"

I have the same thing but with Voice settings.

If you want a setting to never change, put it in your autoexec.cfg .

have tried that... however, I just checked and it undid itself... I'll try setting it to read-only


also, I can't change video settings (vertical sync) through the config, or at least I can't find it

Steam cloud sync........ turn it off, exit the game..... (clear settings.... I don't know if thats possible)

Then start the game, turn cloud sync on and try changing settings / setting binds.....


It might not work....

Allright, I dealt with the keys unbinding themselves... now I need to learn how to change my video settings permanently... how do I find them outside of the game?

write a config with the settings you want, you may even want to try writing the default config (its either config.cfg, or autoexec.cfg, i THINK)

to save your current settings to a config, in console:

Code:

host_writeconfig NameOfConfigToWrite

ex
host_writeconfig active
would save current settings to active.cfg


then if your settings get fucked:

Code:

exec NameOfConfigToExecute

ex
exec active
would execute active.cfg

Thanks Bunni, you're a life saver!
