Mac - Settings Not Being Saved

#1 » Post by deadite » 29 Oct 2017 18:27

None of my settings in-game are saved. Even at the log in screen I have to enter my account name every time (I check the box every time to remember and it doesn't stick). Then once I get into the game, all my interface settings are back to default.

I should note that I found some guide (Fastor I think?) on using the Windows install and throwing the Mac executable inside. Everything runs great except for that!

Any ideas?

Thanks! I can download another client if needed, just hoping to fix this one.

Those settings are saved into WTF folder inside of your WoW directory, client settings are saved into Config.wtf, and other things are saved inside of the folder Account.
My guess is that those files are non existent on your compute or just not being saved.

Quick question, is your wow folder set as READ ONLY? If yes than that means settings could not be written down in it.

Thanks for the replies! I figured it out -- there was another config.wtf in my WOW folder. Deleting that fixed everything. Not sure how it got there, maybe it doesn't matter as much on PC.
