Game resets old setting every time game is restarted

Hey guys, don’t know if anyone’s had this problem before, but every time I change my graphic settings and close the game it forgets the new settings and goes back to the old one. I do hit Apply and Save when I change the settings and it works for that session. However when I close the game and open it again it throws the settings I had before. Here are screenshots showing what’s going on:

Change the settings to MEDIUM:

Apply and Save those settings:

Close the game, open it again and settings return to high (the ones before selecting medium)

Its really annoying to change the settings every time I load the game. Does anyone know a fix?

have u put useropt.cfg to write protected? or are you using nvidia optimisation?

If you have an Nvidia card and are using the Geforce experience program, check the settings to make sure you turn off the option to automatically optimise games.

Changed to Read Only and deleted NVidia GeForce experience and I’m still having the same issue. Clean install?
