I know I’ve seen the answer to this issue in the past, but I can’t seem to find it. How do you prevent graphic settings from resetting sometimes? This isn’t from crashes, either. I haven’t found any real constant in the issue of when it happens. Usually the resolution resets to 800x600 and various bit depths reset too. How can I prevent this?
Again, I know this has been addressed, so sorry for asking again. Just point me to where the answer is and I’ll go.
Thanks!
Cause and resolve.
This will sort out your problems m8 it sorted mine 
Upon loading et.exe, the game tries to check if it has crashed in the previous run, the way it does so is flawed…
It creates a file profile.pid upon your first run of et.exe and deletes the file when you close. Every subsequent run will
search for the file, if it has found, the game determines that it has crashed and resets some settings (such as resolution)
to their defaults, this program simply deletes all the different profile.pid files (one in each mod directory, basically).
and runs the game for you.
Thank you much for that information. Sounds about on par with what I vaguely recall reading in the past.
