I see the new patch notes mention the chat channel text color is finally fixed. That’s great, but what about front/back attack indicator? It’s been in the game for like 6 weeks or something, and after having it for one week it has then only saved changes to the current session so they must be adjusted again every time you start the game.
Really? Ive never had any issues at all. I had to set them on each character but after that it has stayed.
Apparently it doesn’t happen to everyone. I’ve seen others like you say no issues. But I’ve had them needing changed on each char and not save. But now it works between chars for me, just never on the next time I launch the game.
Your file could be set to modify instead of read only in the config. changing it to read only could fix the switching back and forward or the other way around i forget.
see if this helps
You know I’ve actually considered this as a potential solution awhile ago. But I never got around to it, and then I went on vacation. Do enough gaming and you see these read-only problems in games a bit lol It’s weird that it’s not a problem for everyone. I’ll try it out now though, thanks for the confirmation that it does work.
i hope it fix for you. it could the installing problem from lost ark server to steam server to client. I know there people that have problems on some games getting corrupted files from steam and having to verify or uninstalling and reinstalling. so i wouldn’t say it be uncommon for a small corruption to happen but it not break the whole file.
Didn’t seem to fix it. There isn’t a GameUserSettings file though, it’s called UserOptions, and there are also 2 folders with AccountOption file in them. Should I make them all read only? I can’t exactly remember the timeframe but I’ve verified and reinstalled this game a few times recently as EAC stopped properly functioning sometime after Vykas update. Only went back to working as normal after a Windows system wipe.
i would make all user config like that read only to see if it fix it. if that doesn’t work then do the opposite and uncheck all read only
Took a look at the file data and UserOption is just sound settings and graphic display settings. So setting it to read only wouldn’t have fixed it since those settings should all be in AccountOption then. Might work now.
alright glad you found the file that the main thing is where it located. Give it a try now and let me know that way everyone can get a fix. if they have the same problem
Nope. Didn’t work. Thought I’d try a validation before saying so, but it returned with no errors found.
dang hate to hear that was hoping it fix for you.
Sorry to hear the workaround didn’t fix your issue, Penitence. The team is still looking into this problem.
Having the exact same problem, it‘s just so god damn annoying…
same problem you change it once then after you close and restart it goes back to default?
if i modify a file to fix a problem is that against the ToS? wanting to make sure before i do anything. (not at my computer to do any real testing on the change default setting)
Can you ask the Dev if there are suppose to be TAG for Attack Direction Indicator because looking at the XML file I can see all the chat UI Option and color codes. (I don’t see anything about Indicators in the file.)
If it missing then this could cause it to not save. I am wondering if it suppose to have a default and then save what color we would of pick and send it to the server side. (I am thinking this because the color coding doesn’t save in the text file. When changing color in the game setting online. so i am thinking these are the default coloring.)
The other thing I started to notice is the Read only will not work. When I am restarting the game. the XML are reinjected/loaded into our client from the server. I say this because when I had the read only check it stay until I relaunched the game. I did another testing method of denying access from Authenticated User (which should be AG) for writing into the XML file. Then when I relaunched the game it reloaded the file and gave full access again but it became corrupted after and had to verify files.
Yo! don’t do that everyone knows AGS can’t code they can only change NPC skin tone to dark and use google translate then copy paste that’s how we get scraper.
