Settings not saving.

[wfandrews]

I just upgraded from GOG 1.6.659 to 1.6.1179.0 and started a new game and notices that some of my game settings were not saving even though when I quit the menu it said "saving."

The setting I am mainly concerned with is "Difficulty", no matter where I put it when I close the Settings menu it reverts back to Novice.. Also I always stop all automatic saves at the beginning of my game and I can uncheck all of them but the bottom one which always goes back to 5.

I checked my ini files thinking they might be read only but they were not.

On a side note what does "Use Kinect Commands' do?

You need  SkyUI SE difficulty persistence fix, its one of the things the new game update broke.

I'd imagine it lets you use an Xbox Kinect motion/voice control thing with the game.  But I'm not really sure.

EDIT #2: The UESP has a list of Kinect voice commands for the Xbox 360 version of Skyrim LE.  I wonder if your version of SE supports these, via a Kinect or a microphone.

EDIT #3: I don't see that option in the Steam version (1.6.1170).  Where is it in the settings in yours?

Thank you for your replies. That fixed my problem.

Aaron, I just checked and it was  in Settings>Gameplay, just under "Save on Character Menu." I could not disable the "Save on Character Menu" before installing the difficulty persistence mod and the  "Use Kinect Commands" is gone.

Weird huh?

[AaronOfMpls]

Ahh.  I bet the fix was made from a version of the main menu that doesn't have that option. 

(EDIT: Which is probably also why I don't see it either.)

The only problem is I can no longer use "Remove QuickSave Button" as they both use the same swf,, "quest_journal.swf". Still I can live without that QuickSave button I lot easier than without being able to change my difficulty settings.
