Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems My game settings keep getting reset

I own BG3 on steam, and every time I play the game i have to change all of the settings, Accept the terms of the mod manager, and select all my mods all over again because every time I close the game the settings get reset back to default.
I've owned the game for at least a year and its super frustrating loading up the game and having to manually change everything to my preferred settings, it makes me not want to play because its so annoying.
I have tried looking up fixes for this, including running the game as administrator (which steam does not like and it gets stuck in a loop where the launcher brings up a steam message, and hitting continue on that message only brings up the launcher again and it will not launch the game itself)
I cant find an answer to my problem, I even tried looking through the forums for others with similar problems but I can't find anything that will even tell me what is causing this let alone how to fix it. PLEASE HELP

sounds like your system is locking access... did you install to c program files?

Yes, it is installed within "Program Files" where steam installs games by default. Do you know how I can fix this? I would seriously appreciate your help soooo much. It sucks having to change all my settings and re-enable all my mods each and every time i play the game

I think settings are not stored on Program Files but on the hidden folder : "C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3 "

So you might take a look here and see if you have sufficient acces to write and delete files here.

Im not too computer savvy, I right clicked that larian folder and unchecked "read only" for the folder and all the files in it but beyond that I don't really know what to do, if you can be more specific that would be great

Try to create a "x.txt"file on that folder, and write something in it and delete it again. If that works, I guess that means access is good. But you already changed something so maybe you can now just see if the settings savings work after that.
