Graphics: account specific setting won't save (ex: Frame Limiter)

[Kenji-03]

When right clicking the specific user profile and going to "Local.dat" and changing the "Graphics", it refuses to save and use the FPS amount listed once the game launches.

The game will overwrite it with "unlimited" every single time.

• Changing the settings in game does not save the changes. (as it should not)
• Changing the "%appdata%\Gw2Launcher\data\1.xml" should be dictating the settings, it does not.
• • Even manually changing those settings does not fix this issue.
• Launching the game directly from the client does not have this issue.
• Changing the "%appdata%\Gw2Launcher\data#\AppData\Roaming\Guild Wars 2\GFXSettings.Gw2-64.exe.xml" (replacing # with the corresponding account) does not fix this.

Update:

right clicking the account, going "Selected" then "Launch (normal" and changing the settings fixed this. Just wondering why the option to set the graphics settings exists in the launcher if it does not work as intended.

It will now work for that account. Newly created Local.dat files have no settings, causing GW2 to revert to defaults, and since GW2 is in read-only mode, it will do this every launch until it saves. You have to use Launch (normal) and load to character select once per new Local.dat before GFXSettings.xml can be used.
