Bug #3856
Settings file is being reset when launching a new instance of the game
100%
Description
I open the game without a settings.cfg.
When I launch the game a standard settings is being created with read-write permissions for the current user (that is all right)
Go to settings and change some stuff (for example I set resolution to 1920x1080 and activated fullscreen)
Close the game and run it again.
Go to settings. At this precise moment, the settings.cfg is overwritten with standard settings info.

Okay, I've spotted the problem. It's purely a problem of locale
Here's an except of the player.log produced when I load the game :
KSP Version]: 0.90.0.0 (LinuxPlayer) BETA ====================================
(Filename: /BuildAgent/work/d63dfc6385190b60/artifacts/LinuxStandalonePlayerGenerated/UnityEngineDebug.cpp Line: 49)
FormatException: Unknown char: .
at System.Double.Parse (System.String s, NumberStyles style, IFormatProvider provider) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
at System.Single.Parse (System.String s) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
at AxisBinding.Load (.ConfigNode node) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
at GameSettings.ParseCfg () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
at GameSettings.Awake () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
However, when setting environment variable LC_ALL=C, settings are properly loaded and shown in Settings scene.
I'm sorry. I should have checked the player.log previously.

While I cannot confirm this directly, evidence from #4918#note-5 supports this, and it appears to affect Linux and OSX

Updated by I have this problem on a fresh install from Steam on Linux.
Default locale is LANG=sv_SE.UTF-8
Export LC_ALL=C before launching steam resolves the issue. Maybe it's the locale's decimal comma that trips the parser?

The easiest "fire and forget solution" if you launch the game from steam is to set the game launch options (accessible in game properties) to :
"LC_ALL=C command"
If not with steam, you can create a sh script to run the game.
Since the team doesn't seems to care about that locale minor issue, this ticket should probably be closed.

That workaround is the recommended course of action for now.

That is far from the case, and a read of the recent DevNotes will reveal localisations are being worked on.

This is resolved in the current build, 1028, as it was being caused by controller axis/button bindings throwing exceptions.
