ThanksBut I'm not tinkering with my PC or the game files. That's a job for FDEV.
It keep defaulting to ON with me.
Kind of annoying, I don't want those pesky cops showing up when I'm carrying some "medicinal" cargo.
Go to "C:\Users\YourWindowsUsername\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Player" and delete the "Custom.misc" file.
FD seem to have changed the name of this settings file from 1.2 to 1.3 and the old file overrides the new one, preventing player options from saving correctly.
Id rather not. Im here to play not fix stuff FDEV gets wrongs. But Sincere thanks for the work around.
Ben - that truly is a harmless workaround. One that even FD have suggested previously when the game gets "stuck" on a setting. The game will automatically reinstall a fresh version of the file upon start-up. This isn't modding or coding in any way. It'll take you a minute and "fix" your problem. Promise!
I'm sure it's very easy but I have messed simple stuff up in the past. I even manged to spill tea in my lap once while performing the simple task of lifting a cup to my lips! I'll leave it for now and hope some one else fixes it at FDEV. If it's as simple as it looke, I'm sure it will be fixed i the next release which I can wait for![]()
