Hello,

For the last two days in a row, V2 has reverted back to factory settings, resetting all my keybinds, settings, FoV, uninstalling mods, etc. Each time I enter the Keep, I get the monologue for entering the keep for the first time. Luckily, I haven’t lost any progress (all players still at level 35, all my reds intact, etc.), but it’s rather annoying and it used to not happen at all before the update. Now I’m worried it’ll happen every time I launch.

I would love to know if anyone else is having the same issue, and if so, how did you fix it? Thanks for your time.

Twist

It sounds like your _user\_settings.config_ is either becoming corrupted or has the incorrect privileges. Please ensure your _user\_settings.config_ is **not** set to ‘Read Only’ by:

1. Press the Windows key + R
2. Enter %appdata% and select ‘OK’
3. Navigate to \AppData\Roaming\Fatshark\Vermintide 2
4. Right-click ‘user\_settings.config’
5. Select ‘Properties’
6. Ensure the ‘General’ tab is selected
7. Ensure the ‘Read Only’ checkbox is **not** checked
