The Read Only was disabled before I did anything. So, it didn’t work.

I’m admittedly a little stumped as to why this would be happening.

I’ve done a little digging, and a player in the past suggested to try running Steam and Vermintide 2 as Administrator (right-click ‘Run as Administrator’). I can’t guarantee if this will resolve the issue, but it may be worth a shot!

I’ll take a look. I think it has to be related to the game updates, or something like that. I mean, that they get reset with the patches. Just happened after the Mondstille patch. Luckily I made a backup of the option file…

It’s just like that: I open the game, and a pop up window appear saying me that the settings have been changed to medium (Even if I have even lower settings in my custom)

Let’s see if whit the admin thing gets fixed.
