[2020] Why do my character settings reset when I exit the game?

Changed the section for you. Could you please ensure your user_settings.config is not set to ‘Read Only’ by:

1. Press the Windows key + R
2. Enter %appdata% and select ‘OK’
3. Navigate to \AppData\Roaming\Fatshark\Vermintide 2
4. Right-click ‘user_settings.config’
5. Select ‘Properties’
6. Ensure the ‘General’ tab is selected
7. Ensure the ‘Read Only’ checkbox is not checked
