Greetings
Several times it is happened that i lost configuration (keys, full screen, pitch etc) when i was logged out due to inactivity. After the latest patch today 20/02/2013 i log out the game in order to play again after 30 minutes but at next login, game starts windowed and i notice all my settings are lost.
There is a fix for this?
Thanks

I have never had this happen after exiting the game properly and launching again later, but having my options reset after being timed out has been annoying me for a while. Only today did I firgure out the cause was from being booted for inactivity.

If you are logged out due to inactivity, close the launchpad and open up a new one.

You are not actually losing any setting. The information is being released/overwritten and is not pulled up again, most likely due to some system settings (power options and/or sleep modes) so the game uses default settings. Shutting down the launchpad and starting a new one will read and pull up your settings.

It is noted in the Patcher/Issue section.

I personally have not run in this issue at any time when I have been logged out due to inactivity but then I do not like sleep modes and have my power options set to Best Performance. Default Windows settings for a gamer tends to cause weird issues. The longer a game is played (that day, hours a day, weekly) the more likely an issue will appear to be reoccurring.

But from those who do run into this issue, their current resolution is to log completely out of MWO then bring it up again.
