Config File Won't save

Hi all,

Some members and friends seem to be having issues with their config.cfg file not saving since the OB update. Is anyone aware of a fix for this?

Thanks! Any help is appreciated.

Several different things can be done usually its really simple after there done making all there adjustments in options they type in console host_writeconfig verbatim. They should be seeing this feedback in console "Host_WriteConfiguration: Wrote cfg/config.cfg" if it says file is read-only they need to follow the reverse of the instructions in this file http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5896411/Crossha ... UDs_v3.zip to make it not read-only.

Now if its still not saving there gonna have to make a new file in there C:/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/<account>/half life 2 deathmatch/hl2mp/cfg directory by right clicking>new>text document rename it autoexec.cfg and write out the commands in there individually format for binds is

bind k "+use"

the different general console binds are
messagemode2 == team chat
messagemode == normal chat
+duck
slot1
slot2
slot3
slot4
slot5
use weapon_shotgun
use weapon_physcannon
use weapon_357
use weapon_crossbow
use weapon_crowbar
use weapon_rpg
use weapon_pistol
use weapon_smg
use weapon_ar2
use weapon_frag
+reload
impulse 100 == Flashlight
impulse 201 == Spray
timeleft
toggleconsole
+showscores
+use
+speed
+voicerecord
+forward
+moveleft
+back
+moveright
spectate
jpeg
quti
+attack
+attack2
+zoom
lastinv == last weapon used
invprev == scroll for weapons up
invnext == scroll for weapons down
+jump
phys_swap

Just have a seperate config with your binds and graphics settings stored in it then have autoexec execute that.

lol @Neo. i think you over killed that bro. Gary, just have them right click on the file and make sure its read only.

guys if its parsing that file each time it loads and it keeps defaulting to what they dont use. Then its kinda useless to copy and paste, or read-only a file especially when its not retaining said changes and besides theres usually a lot of adjustments that are made to a config while playing

If it is set to read only, he can't save the newer cfg settings in it.
Change it from Read Only, edit it, close it, and make it read only again.

Problem solved.
