Settings don't save. (By Design?)

RDR2 version? 1.0.1436.31
Up to date? yes
Legit or Pirate copy? legit
Steam/Epic Games/Social Club? SC JoyCrusher626
Windows version? 10 (Build 19044.1645)
Did you try to delete caches.xml and try again? Yes
Error screenshot (if any) None
System specifications FX-6350, GTX970, 16Gb
What did you do to get this issue? Changed settings like Invert Mouse
What server did you get this issue on? All

Also add what you already tried so far.
Various servers, including a “Vanilla” one on my own system.

In all cases settings line Inverted Mouse do not persist between launches of RedM

Could this be deliberate? Can anyone confirm or deny that RedM is designed to have the SERVER save player settings (excluding graphics)?

I speculate it might because of how server mods can have their own hard coded key binds, and having a player always start with a preset setup can avoid conflicts, making everyone start with the same “clean slate” when logging on to any given server the first time.

If so, at present there are almost a dozen different settings that are NOT keybinds that I myself have to set each time I launch RedM to make it playable - maybe these can not be segreagated from key binds, but if they can be they ought to be, assuming my previous speculation is correct.

Settings are not being saved on servers. Settings are saved in C:\Users\*name*\AppData\Roaming\CitizenFX\rdr3_settings. The main issue with settings saving is that settings files are incompatible between various game builds. After switching game builds settings files might be considered as incompatible why the game. This is a known issue and we’re looking for a proper solution.

I haven’t changed RDR2 builds, as i downloaded RedM after the last exe update back on the 27th.

Does that have any bearing on your answer?
Is it because of that update (IE RDR2 got a new build and RedM has not)?

You are doing great work, if this indeed the result of that last update from R*, this amounts to a nag about updating - and for that I am sorry. I didn’t realize. Everyone on the server’s discord keeps telling me I’m the only one.
