Hello, all. I have read through many of you're suggestions on improving graphics via OpenGL/Perfect mode. I have gone into my config settings and changed Water=1 to Water=2, and Effects=2 to Effects=3. I save the new config settings and launch the game and the changes are dramatic, and would like to keep them. However, once I close the game and re-launch later I notice the graphics revert back to the original settings. I go back into my confg file, and sure enough, the settings have been reset to default again.

How can I permanently keep the settings without it re-setting to default?

Anyone know why this is happening?

I would especially be interested in what "fly_zo" has to say regarding this, as I have always gained the most useful troubleshooting knowledge through him.

Thanks.

BTW: I prefer Army.
