Can't change in-game settings

Post by Sym Undin »

Whenever I try changing any settings, visual or audio, I get a message that says game must restart for change to take effect. I hit ok, the game restarts, but the setting reverts to off on relaunch. All the settings (particles, surfaces, doodads etc.) stay turned off no matter what I do. I've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game, no effect. Need some help!

You've probably got the game installed somewhere where you don't have write access. Try turning UAC off or installing the game to c:\users\<username>

Sorry for asking in this post, but i was wondering what was up with the sequel and stuff. i noticed the forum was pretty much dead.
offence is the best defence! I was merely defending myself when i destroyed your homeworld.
