Doesn't remember my video settings

Black Mesa Archive In-game Issues (Mod)
#1

Just built a new PC.
Each time I start Black Mesa, it comes up in 1024 x 768 (3:4 ratio), and no AA.
Each time I have to switch to 16:10, 1920 x 1200, 4xAA (etc).
My system is easily powerful enough to handle these settings.
But when I quit, it doesn’t remember anything, and I have to do it all again next time I start.

NB: Doesn’t happen for other Steam/Source games (tested Half Life 2 & Portal 2)

check your BMS shortcut and autoexec.cfg for commands like “dxlevel” and take them off

alternatively, you could put -width 1920 -height 1200 in the shortcut…

Thanks - that was it. I was experimenting with dxlevel settings on my previous (horribly underpowered) computer, and they got copied across (via the SteamApps folder)
