Saddestclaps Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 The game uses Oblivion_Default.ini to build/rebuild Oblivion.ini if it can't find it in the Users\[username]\My Documents\My Games\Oblivion folder. It will simply ignore the Oblivion.ini you have in the Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion folder.Still not updating the settings after unchecking the 'read only' box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker879 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 In the Properties dialogue box look on the Security tab and make sure you see a check mark next to Write in the list in the Allow column. - Edit - That is when you have your currently logged in User account highlighted in the Group or User Names box at the top.

Striker879 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Ya ... I was doing my step by step looking at an old character's INI (from back in my WinXP days ... I am a dinosaur). Only other thing I can suggest to check is what it says in the Properties - Security tab for Full Control and Modify under the Allow column.

Only other thing I can suggest to check is what it says in the Properties - Security tab for Full Control and Modify under the Allow column.I disabled all my mods and changed the settings and they saved. Now I'm gonna try to re-enable them and see if it stays. EDIT: They did, now the mods are causing issues lol thanks for the help though!
