Valkra Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I go into my display settings in game and turn the brightness all the way down. I also set it so there's no subtitles for dialogues and there is subtitles for general speak. I close the game, I come back and the settings are back to where they were originally. This happens every time, does anyone know why and how I can fix this? Also, I have another problem that may relate to the above problem. I talk to an npc and the dialogue choices grey out after I select said dialogue choice (this is normal to show that you've already talked to an npc about that topic). I exit the game, I come back and all the dialogue choices are white again instead of grey, as if i never spoke to them about those topics before. Again, it seems like my game keeps reverting some how. Anyone know why this is? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aareyn Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 (edited) After you have made all your changes with your skyrim.ini/skyrimprefs.ini files just how you like them right click on each of them and go to properties an make sure "read only" has a checkmark on it. also yes that is normal for the dialogue to be greyed out when you view the branch.

When I exit Skyrim and load back in, all the dialogue that was previously grey are now white again. I don't mean to be rude but could you please read the whole thing before giving an answer. But I will try editing the ini files instead of going through the game settings, in game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aareyn Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 It is normal for them to refresh on game load and become white again, even on Xbox 360 it was the exact same way; my question is if it isn't a problem why are you worrying about it?

Valkra Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 I've played a lot of Skyrim in my day (on pc) and this has never happened before. Dialogue choice once chosen and spoken, stay greyed out forever to show that you've already talked about those topics and the npc has nothing new to say. But that's minor, I'm more concerned with my display settings not saving. And as far as I know, the ini files don't have anything that changes game brightness (gamma is not the same as in game brightness slider) and enable/disable dialogue subtitles and general subtitles.

aareyn Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 (edited) [interface] bDialogueSubtitles=1 bGeneralSubtitles=1 So did changing your ini files to "Read-Only" work or not? Also let me ask are you using skse and have you set it as "run as administrator"? Also in your skyrim directory it has the main ini files in their get rid of those and replace them with yours after you edited them to your liking but backup those ini's first.

Valkra Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 Changing the ini files to read only did not work. The display settings in game are unchanged. And yes, all my exe are set as run as administrator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aareyn Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Only thing you can really do is process of elimination here is some suggestions: 1.) first"Verifying your Game cache integrity" 2.) start a new game with no mods see if it works if it doesn't then you know its not mod related.3.) re-install SKSE4.) try skyrim without ENB (if you have one)5.) delete your ini's and have skyrim regenerate them by started the "skyrim launcher" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkra Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 I'm an idiot.I use Mod Organizer but it slipped my mind that Mod Organizer doesn't mess with Skyrim's folders, which includes all the ini files. Instead, it uses it's own set of ini files which I configured, and now my dialogue settings/autosave settings are saved. Unfortunately, I don't think there's a setting for brightness slider in the ini files so I'll have to manually set that everytime I load the game, but it's not that big of a deal. Thank you for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
