hi guys. i have a problem with the PC demo.

my settings (graphics settings and key bindings) constantly reset every time i leave the demo. binding keys and graphics every time i boot up the game is a headache since it takes a lot of time.

is it because it's a demo or is it a problem that can be fixed?

Hello again,

This has been flagged as an issue with the demo by mycoldman (he's a moderator + community manager, just thought I'd fill you in on some backstory Smiling).

EDIT: Found the post:

"@Lucky
Unfortunately, due to the save game option not being included in the demo (down to the fact there is only one campaign mission) this has meant there is currently no way to save in-game settings.

We are however looking into this, and will put out some sort of fix if possible."

I don't think it'd take a lot of coding to make it happen. Then again I dunno what kind of language they programmed BSP in, nor do I know how file I/O works in that language, or even if that's the way to do it. But still, if it requires minimal effort, I think they should fix the demo.

developers shouldnt waste their time on fixing bugs in the demo but on the real game.
Its just a demo guys.
