Yeah, that was probably the issue or at least that things like resolution didn’t stick between sessions… something or other. ---

I’ve had mine on read-only for a few days now. It’s keeping and using my settings. ---

could i ask you to send me a copy of your config? i’m currious why stemvr would see the need to replace it. ---

All it would take is running it once and SteamVR would automatically lower the resolution and settings. What I did was actually uninstall SteamVR and delete the remaining folders. After the reinstall, I ran your config file and immediately made the file Read-only. Now that I’ve had it read only it’s kept the settings and quality every time I’ve played. I’ll take a look and share the config when I get home later. ---
