it sounds similar to the problem with getting resolution settings to stick
Change and apply your settings, then go back and make sure all are set then restart the game.
There is a utility TweakCoh or something similar which will allow you to set things up from outside the game - not sure if its been updated with the latest setting though.

Repost from the steam CoX forum, but figured I'd post it here as well.
To start, note I have the Steam version of the game and I think the problem is particularly because its the Steam version, but I'm posting here as well in hopes that someone might have heard of the issue and a possible fix. Now, the post;
I've had CoX on steam for a while now but just recently re-installed it (Champions Online beta made me want to sign back up to CoH more than purchase CO lol.)
Anyway I've not had this issue before but any new settings I change, like controls on a character or even things like costume change emotes, once I leave the game.. hell sometimes when I just zone, the settings 'reset' to their base. On older characters (IE characters made and settings changed before this latest install) are fine, unless I make a new change on them.
I was thinking perhaps one of the files was set on read-only so I went to the CoX folder in program files/steam/common aps/etc and unchecked 'read only' from the entire folder thinking that would fix it. Unfortunately unchecking that and hitting 'ok' doesn't WORK!
I don't know if this is some kind of steam issue but it's jarateing me off and making me think I should never have bought it on steam in the first place. I have my old disks but they are old and don't always work so I spent the $20 to get it on steam for convenience.
Anyone have a similar issue and know how to fix it? If it really is a settings file that is set on read only that would explain it easily but the fact that I cannot remove the 'read only' from any of the files in the CoH folder means I may never get to fix it and any new settings I ever make will not stick.. in the steam version.
So any advice or a fix would be wonderful!
