When messing with ray tracing setting to turn off the atmosphere setting , I have to do it every time when I log in. All setting that I have changed will stay and have been good but that (ray tracing atmosphere) for some reason reverts back.

I have this to and have done some investigating to find the cause. The Ray Tracing settings save correctly to your setting file when you are playing the game but when you run the launcher the next time the individual RT reflection and RT global illumination settings are overwritten by the default setting for the overall RT setting you have selected.

For example, if you have RT off as your overall setting but just turn on RT global illumination in game the next time you start the game your RT will be set to off.

If you have RT low as your overall setting it will default to RT reflection low and RT global illumination off. If you manually change RT reflection to off and RT global illumination to high this will work in game and save correctly in the setting file. When you restart Darktide and the launcher runs it will see that your RT overall setting is RT low and change your RT reflection to low and RT global illumination to off.

I also tried making the settings file read only once I had the settings correct and this did not work.
