Game settings not being saved

[guitarxe]

I downloaded from steam the [Previous - Stable Release] version to get 1.04 version, then I copied it from steam to another drive so that I can keep it separate from steam updates.
The problem now is that game settings are always restored to default whenever I launch the game - so things like graphics settings, resolution, gameplay options (like camera wobble and UI size) are always default when I run the game each time.

Is this a bug in the 1.04? Because I remember I used to be able to copy the game from steam to another location and run it without any problems before.

Where exactly did you copy it? There could be folder restrictions preventing KSP from saving properly.

A different partition that I keep for games, like this - D:\games\KSP 1.04

There was a bug that corruptet the settings.cfg if you had a controller/joystick attached. Unplug them (or keep them plugged in?) and delete the settings.cfg.

Make sure that the games folder has public read/write access and that readonly isnt checked for this folder and subfolders

IIRC, this was one of the things fixed in 1.0.5 (what Harry said, related to controller/JS mapping) - why do you want an old version (with more bugs) anyway?
