@Geez
My case is not about them not being saved while playing multiplayer game. But that i lost my previous gameplay settings that i customized before the update.
I had customized the FOV to the max everywhere, i had set no assistance at all for vehicle driving.

And after the update, they were all back to their default values. (70 FOV and full assistance vehicle driving)

Hello
For RED.Misfit
The restructuring of profile and logs hierarchy from 0.9.7 to 0.9.8 likely reset the settings.

For Kawalec
We cannot produce the issue on our end, is this reproducible everytime you do this?

Can you try to find a way (in next updates that would alter player's settings) to preserve the user's settings ?
Squad game had this problem too with pretty much all updates except hotfix (don't know if it still happens, i have not launch it since a while now). And it was really annoying to reapply the settings each time.

I do understand it should not happen often if you don't alter profiles/logs hierarchy, but when you think an update gonna lose some player's settings, it would be nice to have them restored after such updates. I am pretty sure settings can be saved in a temp file to reapply them appropiately.

We will try to check what could be done

Right now it is ok and it is not reproducible. The issue was related to the big update.
