Issues unresolved
Settings reset when launched without Epic Games Launcher/Steam
- Due to the game storing some settings on cloud servers, launching the game by skipping Epic Games Launcher or launching the Steam version directly from its executable causes settings to reset every time, even if the configuration files are set to "read only". Blocking the game from your outbound firewall rules may or may help for some users.[7]

- I made some changes to use "Best" anti-aliasing with some changes made to my controller and key remapping, closed the game, launched it again at a later time, and then discovered my settings reverted back to default after using this fix on the Epic Games version. Blocking the game's executable and setting the configuration files to read-only did nothing to help. The Steam version also has a similar issue when launched directly from the executable. Any help to fix this problem would be appreciated with workaround.
