config CFG returns to defaults every time

[lePobz]

I'm not sure if this is a CS source bug, but I like to enable cl_ragdoll_collide 1 and cl_c4dynamiclight 1 for the phatness factor - so I do so by the config.cfg as you do.

Well this works fine for the one time after editing, but if I then exit and reload the game, the config.cfg has reverted back to default. WHY?!?!?!

The same is so with the game settings (filter options etc) they keep reverting to defaults (well, not game defaults but they don't accept recent changes - they revert to how I had the settings a few days after I got CS Source beta)

This is seriously annoying ;( . Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

make it read only.

^ What he said ^

It worked in every game I tried. It does probably mean that you can't change values in the console no more because it can't write to the cfg anymore.

OK, thanks guys. So is this a CS Source bug then? I can't see Valve telling people it's normal to go changing their config.cfg's to read-only...

You had to do the same with config files in CS

Make a file called autoexec.cfg & put your commands in there. It solves the ragdoll command etc. Not sure if you can put graphics options in there though.
