Settings reset each login

by Nevyn » Tue Mar 31, 2015 2:13 am

My settings reset whenever i log out, ie video resolution, stuff changed in the interface section like "self Cast" "max camera" etc.
And i have to search the server and it doesnt rem my account name and it shows the intro video.
Its like the game thinks i am logging into it for the first time.

Anyone know why it does this?

although this isn't specifically a "log-in problem", I am sure you can find an answer in here

The most likely problem is that you installed WoW under Program Files and Windows is protecting everything inside, thus the game cannot write into the config.wtf file your settings.

Games should always be installed elsewhere. For example, C:\Games folder works well.

Hey Chibamba,

Right click WoW.exe and Run as Administrator.

You may make it run permanently as an Administrator by Right clicking WoW.exe, select Properties, Select Compatibility tab, Check Run this program as an Administrator then click OK.
