Consequently, that game’s settings reset every time those players restart Apex Legends.

How come Apex Legends sometimes doesn’t save settings?

Read-only file attribute settings are one of the most widely cited causes for Apex Legends not saving settings. When specific Apex Legends configuration files are read-only, the game can’t edit those files to save changes. However, players have confirmed they’ve fixed the issue by deselecting Read-only options. It’s not entirely uncommon for antivirus utilities to interfere (block) games, saving new configuration settings. For example, Windows Security’s Controlled folder access feature can block games from making changes to required configuration files. Aside from that, issues can also arise for Apex players trying to save settings with Origin cloud storage enabled. For example, that cloud storage feature can fail to upload newly configured game settings. In which case, disabling Origin cloud storage and running ipconfig network commands can help.

How can I fix Apex Legends not saving game settings?

1. Deselect the Read-only setting for the videoconfig file

2. Check the attribute settings for the profile file

3. Delete the video_settings_saved_quite file

Note: The path specified above is a default installation one. If you haven’t installed Apex Legends with its default Origin path, you’ll need to open a different directory for the game’s cfg folder. SPONSORED

4. Disable Windows Security and third-party antivirus software

Players who have installed third-party antivirus software should disable those utilities. Most antivirus utilities include disabling shield options on their system tray icons’ context menus. So, right-click your antivirus utility’s system tray icon to look for and select a disable setting on its context menu. Note: It’s recommended players turn antivirus utilities back on after changing Apex Legend game settings as required.

5. Flush the DNS

6. Disable cloud storage saves in Origin
