Settings aren't saving

Technical Support
1

I have followed an older guide which had worked for me earlier, but doesn’t seem to work now. Basically what happens is that I open the game like normal with my settings set to “Ultra”. I then change the settings to low and some other things like changing the fps to max of 149, and changing the monitor to 144 hz.

The issue is a thing that comes back when I haven’t played the game for a while, but it worked around half a month ago.

I have tried deleting my overwatch folder in documents, and the lunching the blizzard luncher with admin perms to overwrite any virus detecting thing, but after changing the settings it still doesn’t save.

  • Btw. whenever I close the game it still runs in the task manager, so I have to close it manually.

  • The older guide I was following: Settings Do Not Save

Settings not saving can be for a number of reasons:

  • Improper folder permissions or corrupt admin account.
  • Antivirus locking down necessary folders and can’t save.
  • Drive where the game is installed is in the wrong format.
