after the crash and you restart game, a white box pops up and asks if you want to run in safe mode, if you hit yes it resets all your settings. so hit 'no' and there no changes made.
I think you have all missed the point ? The box thats pops is not what we are talking about at all , when the game crashes and you finally get back into it,, the video settings have been reset, period., And the only way I have seen to stop it, is set your mp-config to read only and deny wright.
and I wanted to make sure he was not clicking yes on the box, which would also change it. there is one that often pops up saying your computer has had hardware changes since the last time you ran the game, and it wants to reset all your graphics settings if you click yes. the second pop up box often asks if you want to run in safe mode.
and also, the last nvidia driver update I got, changed a bunch of stuff for me. I had to work on my config again myself to straighten it out.
