Ditto. I just filed a bug for this, but was assuming the control settings were lost due to a crash. Bug #0002423

If the game crashes you MAY (not always) loose your latest settings adjustments.
On a clean exit it saves just fine.

I did customize my controls and a lot of other options and everything is still there since Day1

Ditto Kid18120.

The possibility exists, I configured the joystick and did not perform a clean exit of the game, and the game later crashed/dumped.

Last night, I monitored the joystick settings after each crash/dump and didn't notice any erasing of the joystick settings. It is possible a few modifications I made just prior to a crash were lost last night, but I wasn't really monitoring those specific changes, and just focusing on the majority of the joystick settings.

Still, the game should probably call a sync/write function after each exit of the Control Settings menu. I speculate the changes are written only to memory, and not to file. Since we can't see the code to determine how they're handling the settings and reading/writing of files, we can only speculate. If we're correct, then I haven't seen code doing this since Windows 95. Most coders call read/write/sync file functions, before continuing.

I have this problem with change game options .. as well as difficult

Can this bug be closed? Seems the controls are being saved for me, without issues for the past month or so.

Issue closed as obsolete. If you encounter this problem again, please create another ticket. Thank you.
