How to Fix Rematch Settings Not Saving Issue

Restart the Game and Play a Few Matches

• Description: Sometimes, game settings may require a full restart to register correctly. Additionally, the saving process might be delayed, meaning settings only commit after some active gameplay.
• Action: Close REMATCH completely, then relaunch it. After changing your desired settings, play a few matches to give the game time to properly save them.

Verify Game Files

• Description: Corrupted or missing local game files can cause a variety of strange bugs, including issues with saving settings. Verifying the integrity of your game files through Steam is a good general troubleshooting step.
• Action (via Steam):
• Open your Steam client.
• Go to your Library.
• Right-click on REMATCH.
• Select "Properties."
• Navigate to the "Installed Files" tab.
• Click on "Verify integrity of game files."
• After the scan is complete and any necessary files are re-downloaded or repaired, launch the game again.

Run the Game as Administrator

• Description: Insufficient permissions can sometimes prevent a game from writing to its configuration files, leading to settings not being saved. Running the game with administrator privileges can bypass these permission-related issues.
• Action:
• Navigate to your REMATCH installation folder. The easiest way to do this is via Steam: Go to your Steam Library, right-click on REMATCH, select "Manage," and then click "Browse local files."
• Locate the main executable file for REMATCH (it will typically be named Rematch.exe).
• Right-click on Rematch.exe and select "Run as administrator."
• Now, launch the game and check if your settings are being saved correctly.

Still No Fix? (Delete "Runtime" Folder)

• Description: If the basic checks above don't resolve the issue, a Steam user named Galed shared a solution that has successfully fixed the problem for others. This method involves deleting a specific folder that might contain old beta data conflicting with the current game version.
• Action:
• Completely close REMATCH and your Steam client.
• Go to the following directory: C:\Users\[YourUserNameFolder]\AppData\Local.
  • Note: The AppData folder is often hidden by default. If you cannot find it, go to your File Explorer's "View" tab, then "Show," and check "Hidden items."
• Inside the Local folder, look for a folder named "Runtime." This folder is believed to contain conflicting old beta data.
• Delete the entire "Runtime" folder.
• Launch REMATCH, adjust your settings to your preference, and then exit the game normally (do not force close).
• Relaunch the game to see if your settings are now saving correctly. This method has proven effective for several players facing this particular issue.
