lost settings after restart of the game

[Samuel]

I have a strange problem in AT. If I close AT and reopen it after it was flushed from the memory all the settings like "combat speed", "loot settings" are lost. The savegames are fine. Its really annoying.

I tried cleaning the cache and reinstalled the game several times.
I didn't try to delete the AT data directory from internal phone directory, as my phone is not rooted. (This seems to work in similar situations, but I have no plans to root my phone)

It seems this is a known problem for android apps: (0,2% of users)

• Stackoverflow - User settings saved in SharedPreferences removed or lost between reloads of app
• ANDROID BUG - Settings lost after reboot or app restart
• Application settings reset
• ...

Any thoughts? Perhaps we should save the settings in a file, like we do with savegames. It would also help to sync the growing number of settings between phones.

I haven't had this problem but I do agree that settings should be stored in a file. The best PC games all have a .ini file that you can mess around with outside of the game.
