0 Zeckul Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Any scenario that involves forcefully closing the executable is unlikely to be supported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Headbomb Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Can't say I consider this to really be a bug... difficulty settings should be saved in the game save itself, this isn't something that should be in a .ini file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Sensuki Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 I reported this because when they make character creation cancellable, they will need to make sure this doesn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Sensuki Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 and another reason is it's not because it doesn't save the difficulty you set it to before you started character creation, it doesn't save the difficulty that was previously saved the last time you quit the game.

0 Messier-31 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Wouldn't that be pointless? You did click "NEW GAME" after all, so just pick the one you want for a new game. It would be of small avail to talk of magic in the air... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Sensuki Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) No, for instance. I play on Hard, so my difficult is set to hard. When you create a new (hard) game and then exit the character creation, it resets the default difficulty back to easy. WHEN they make it so that you can exit character creation without crashing the exe, they will need to make it so that it doesn't reset default difficulty.

0 Headbomb Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) But if you exit character creation... you're back at the main menu. You need to create a new game (and thus select difficulty) before going into character creation. Edited September 12, 2014 by Headbomb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Sensuki Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) Yes, but my point is that the difficulty resets to default when you do, it doesn't matter what you had it set on or what you changed it to. That's why I am reporting it. Edited September 12, 2014 by Sensuki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Sensuki Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 Not the same issue, but the game doesn't remember the difficulty setting upon exiting the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
