This is the bug I love to hate the most.

It used to happen once in while but lately I have it about once a week.

So upon loading the match, all settings reset and then the match launches.

In windowed mode, with all default keybinding and settings.

Anyone else gets that?

I have been thinking for a while about reporting it seriously. There it is.

Are you running the game from a UAC-affected folder (like "C:\Program Files" for example) on Win7?

If so, maybe try running the client as an administrator by default/deactivating UAC (both is supposedly not advisable for security reasons...if you want to be paranoid).

Tried to set it specifically as admin. Will see if it can solve the issue.
Thanks for tip!

With windows 7 and vista it is a good idea to run most programs as admin as long as they are from a trusted source. Window7/vista are both very picky about what they let applications touch and this often interferes with the application and causes bugs and such.

For example, the hotkeys for teamspeak will not work unless you have the window active if it is not running in admin. This means you can't actually talk while playing a game.

It's a known bug that they've not bothered to fix for years. It happens to everyone. Here's how to reproduce it:
Log into the game.
Go AFK.
When the server disconnects you, all settings will be wiped.

Never had that happen, although having been disconnected due to inactivity often. So something else might be going on.
