Game intermittently resets certain settings on launch

Same here, I am noticing Video settings get switched back to default from Vibrant Visuals every few game loads. No obvious pattern as to when it happens and no idea how to reproduce it at will.

Same, controller and keyboard settings reset everytime so I have to change pick block key.

Also coords copy setting and keys reset.

I have this issue with the Screen Animations setting and the Render Distance setting.

Ok this happens to me EVERYTIME I GO ON MINECRAFT it's so annoying. This needs to be top priority, I literally have to reset all my key binds, and vibrant visuals always turns on, and even the creator settings reset. One thing that isn’t mentioned on this bug report is that it also makes you confirm the “Online play is not rated” screen every time. As a person with very different key binds to the default, this is extremely annoying, every time I go into the game, I have to spend 5 minutes changing my settings back to how I like them.

Thanks for your patience on this issue - could you let us know if the bug is also happening in the latest Preview version of the game?

This is still an issue in the latest Preview.

Having this issues where video, controller & keyboard settings keep resetting upon reload

I have encountered this bug numerous times before today. Yesterday, I prepared to test how Legion GO (Windows, which is affected by this bug) and Switch 2 behaves, without encountering this bug, but today when I started testing the devices again, I encountered this bug again which hurt the video production because this bug may skewed the battery life of my Legion GO by resetting the Graphics mode.

The following settings the bug resets mine to:

• Keyboard & Mouse settings: reset to when the game was first installed, including by deleting command macros

• Graphics Mode: Vibrant Visuals

• In-game graphics mode switching: Off

• Only Allow Trusted Skins: On

• Lower Framerate When Controller Is Disconnected: On

• Content Log GUI: Off / disabled

• Never show “Online play not rated” disclaimer: Disabled

At first it was just my graphics mode and settings, but just recently it reset all of my settings. Every single one from Accessibility to Creator settings.

I had to list the values the bug resets the settings to because the parent details did not have one and I just want to make it clear. Nintendo Switch version of the game (which Switch 2 runs for now) isn’t affected.

However, either workarounds from below can be performed:

• Backing up options.txt from %appdata%\Minecraft Bedrock\Users\(ID)\games\com.mojang (for release version) and restoring it once this bug occurs (close the game before restoring the settings).

• Playing the game from a signed out save (by signing out in the Xbox App), It will need to be set-up again and you won’t be able to access grabbed / purchased Marketplace contents, but this workaround works for me for now.

i had this happen for both macros and graphic mode

me too, multiple settings resetting every few launchs of the game

it keep turning vibrant visuals on and change my anti aliasing to 2 and for some reason it dont happen on mobile

same, my texture packs were always being disabled

confirmed

still happening after latest patch. really annoying

Yo, i get the same issue at Re launching my Damage tilt,FOV and others reset

Still persists, and it is getting unbearable to boot the game into a slideshow simulator as it resets render distance to maximum value, which is a terrible default for obvious reasons.

ya i always set my sprint to shift and crouch to ctrl. rly annoying to always have to switch it

Yes. Every time I load my world, the render distance is jacked up to 80 chunks. I lower to 32 (recommended), but it always gets jacked back up to 80 when I load in.

Thanks for keeping us up to date in the issue. Could you please let us know if this is happening in the latest version, 26.30?

It would also help us to know if the issue occurs in the latest Beta/Preview version as well, currently 26.40.26.

This issue no longer occurs in the current 26.30 Stable release and 26.40.26 Preview version. It was fixed in one of the later 26.30 Preview versions.

Issue was also fixed for me since 26.30, and is still fixed in 26.31.

@frankiedauser this bug is still affect v26.42.

@Jianyou Zheng True

I had to make options.txt read-only again since 26.40.

I'm pretty sure there is a race condition where if your login profile does not load from XBox fast enough, the game assumes you are a new user and creates a default options.txt file. The bug happened to me just now after I closed the game so that I could import a test world (due to MCPE-227874). When I reloaded the game, I opened the world before my profile finished loading, and suddenly I had vibrant visuals flashbang and 1st-time-player tutorial tips all over the screen.

Your comment is incorrect. As stated in the description, the game only resets certain settings, and they are not reset all at once. If the options.txt file were being replaced with a brand-new one, all user-configured settings would be reset to their default values.

Furthermore, the resets occur the instant the game finishes loading, not while loading a world. This is evident by the panorama being replaced with the Vibrant Visuals version.
