Hello, I have an issue with my game configuration!
Every time I change my game configurations it resets itself every time I re enter de game. Is there a way to permanently change the game configuration? Like in a file in the directory or something? And if there is, how do I change the game resolution?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi @DraedanR10 - the game settings should stay where you set them when you leave the game. You mentioned the game resolution, if you are setting it to anything ultra-HD, be aware that SimCity doesn't seem to support anything above HD. Setting it at anything higher than Ultra settings isn't going to give you any better graphics anyway.
If other settings are not being saved, it might be some corrupted data. Try repairing the game:
If the issue still exists, exit completely out of SimCity and Origin. Navigate to \\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\SimCity\SimCityRecovery. Right-click SimCityRecovery.exe and choose "Run As Administrator". Be patient, this is a targeted reinstall and can take some time to complete. (don't click on any SimCity Recovery shortcuts, go to the actual file listed. The shortcuts will take you to a web page that no longer exists)
Corruption can happen if there is an interruption in the synchronization process, or if something like antivirus or firewall is preventing communication, so always run Origin.exe and SimCity.exe "as administrator". Be sure both are added to exception lists for antivirus and firewall. Try using a wired connection instead of wifi if possible, to reduce data communication errors.
Good luck and Happy Building!
