Post Effects settings reverting.

[NeoHazard 10]

Hello all. I'm just reporting a small problem I'm having here. I noticed this while fooling around with my ambient occlusion settings in Nvidia Control Panel.

First, I currently have Nvidias AO turned off.

Second, I have my post processing effects set to Very High.

Here is the issue, I never noticed the games native ambient occlusion until just recently when I reselected Very High in the post processing effects setting in the graphics menu of the game and it all showed up.

The problem is that every time I restart the game, the POST FX setting seems to revert to a lesser level, yet the options menu still shows it at 'very high.' So when I click the option for Very High again, all the ambient occlusion shading reappears.

It's just kind of a small bug for me. I don't want to have to reset the settings over and over. I thought for a minute it would be because I had my config file set to read-only so I unchecked that and let it set and save settings, after a few test restarts, all the same results. Still have to reset the settings. I'm not into testing all the other settings to see if theyre reverting too, but I can see that happening just as well.

UPDATE: I tried forcing the postfx in the config file, no joy. Still looking for a fix.

Anyone else having this problem? Any developers have any ideas?

Currently on 72418. The glitch persists.

Edit: Oh I see, you must be referring to 72588? This has OA fixes as well? Trying it anyway.

Edit 2: scratch that, 72588 is an A2 exclusive?

I get this too.

I set PP to normal and get dark grass, I close A2OA then reopen it, the dark grass is gone. When I set PP to low then back to normal I get dark grass again.

This also happened in A2 but for DOF blur.

It's annoying to have to reset PP effects every time I play, fix pl0x.

Same here and happens in ArmA2, too.

Only known fix for me was setting HDRPrecision to 32, than pp settings wouldn´t revert themselves to a lower level.

Doing this in the later builds produces graphical artifacts, though (HD 5850).
