Issues unresolved
Resolution resets upon launch
Upon restarting your PC, the game will lose any previously saved resolutions changes, and defaulting to a much smaller/incorrect resolution.
- The game is not properly saving/loading config files.
- Issue has been resolved for some people with the August 2013 patch. Others still experience this problem.
- Can be fixed by setting desired resolution in config.cfg in Magic 2014 folder and disabling write permission for this file (read-only bit).
