| Can anyone confirm that some settings aren't saved (or are being reset on start-up) in v0.951 ?
It doesn't happen every single restart, but after starting a handful of times, the settings below
all go back to default:
· ctrl-F4: bloom & star scale
· F7: planets, stars, galaxies and ambient
Thanks

| You can permanently change these settings in Main.cfg and User.cfg. 
I occasionally stream at http://www.twitch.tv/magistermystax. Sometimes SE, sometimes other games.

This should save.

This shouldn't.

| Even if I change them in the config file manually, they still get reset eventually.
Vladimir, why wouldn't the magnitude settings be saved?
I'm trying to see a pattern of when these things get reset. I think it might be after SE crashes sometimes, but I'm not sure. For instance, it closed down fine last night, and when I opened SE this morning the star scale and ambient settings had defaulted back, but the others (bloom and magnitude) had been remembered.
I'll keep an eye on it to see if I can spot a reproducible behaviour.

Big magnitude settings is overwhelming for the engine. If you accidentally save star magnitude +20, at next launch it may lead to OUT_OF_MEMORY and crash. Low magnitude makes space empty. So I see no reason to save this setting.

| Thanks for your reply.
I'm pleased to report that all day today my star magnitude and star scale settings seem to have 'stuck'.
The 'bloom' setting also appears to be remembered. I've no idea why.
The only one that hasn't been remembered today is the ambient setting.

| SE saves settings only if you exit it normally. If it crashes, changes in settings will be lost.
