ProStreet Not Remembering My Options!!!

[deadman_uk]

I have Need for Speed ProStreet for PC and I am having problems with it. I install the game, install the American 1.1 patch (European patch causes the game to crash on start up) and launch the game. The game opens in full screen at 640x480, so I go to the options, change the resolution to 1920x1200 and set all the graphics to high detail. All is fine, I can play the game and there are no problems.

However, when I close the game and reopen it, the game opens full screen at 640x480 and all my graphics settings have reverted to their default values. I can successfully change the graphical settings back to high but as soon as I close the game and reopen it, the settings revert back to default. This is incredibly frustrating and annoying!!! It's not just the graphics settings that aren't being remembered, it happens with the sound settings too, they revert back to default whenever the game is loaded again.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game and this has not helped... any ideas?

Make sure the config files aren't set to read only. They should either be in the NFS directory, or somewhere in your Documents and Settings folder.

Though you may not find anything... I know Most Wanted kept its graphics settings in the registry, so this might be the same. Hopefully if you set them from here they'll stick.

Hi, the save game is saved in C:\Documents and Settings\Deadman\My Documents\NFS ProStreet

They were all set to read only but turning read only off has no effect. These files aren't ini files, when opening them in notepad, all I see is garbage inside. This is really annoying me, I looked in the registry but couldn't find any graphic settings...

Looked through it thoroughly? Most programs will put at least two or three directories in there.

Most Wanted kept them in
HKLM \ SOFTWARE \ EA GAMES \ Need for Speed Most Wanted \

There is an entry in:

HKLM_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE \ELECTRONIC_ARTS\Need for Speed Prostreet

But there is 1 file called DEFAULT with the information 0000

I did find this:

I edited the resolution entries in regedit, loaded the game, it opened at 1920x1200, then I changed all settings to maximum, exited the game, reopen it and it saves all my options perfectly now! Thanks alot
