[Linux][NVIDIA][OpenGL] Texture setting is ignored (always set to high)

[OZ-13MSX1]

See title. Regardless of what it is set to in the options the textures will be on high. This can be changed during the game but loading up the next game will have the textures reverted back to high again. This issue does not occur on Vulkan.

Below is my Steam system info. Thanks for your help!

I don't see this behavior on my Linux box. Can you post a gist of the console output when Dota starts?

Are you using an autoexec.cfg? Do you have any launch options set?

[OZ-13MSX1]

Yes, its contents are the following:

// Change minimap colours.
dota_unit_use_player_color "1";
dota_friendly_color_b "0.8"; dota_friendly_color_g "0.7"; dota_friendly_color_r "0.3";
dota_enemy_color_b "0.4"; dota_enemy_color_g "0.4"; dota_enemy_color_r "0.8";

// Health Bar, makes hp changes instantaneous if set to 0 without quotations
dota_health_hurt_decay_time_max "0"     // Default is 0.8
dota_health_hurt_decay_time_min "0"     // Default is 0.3
dota_health_hurt_delay "0"             // Default is 0.1
dota_pain_decay "0"                     // Default is 0.8
dota_pain_factor "0"                     // Default is 3
dota_pain_multiplier "0"                 // Default is 0.8

The only launch option I have set is "+con_enable 1"

OK, I don't see anything conflicting there so it's unclear why your settings wouldn't save. We'll have to see if other people have similar issues and we can find a common thread.

I also have this issue on my dota 2 installation with ubuntu 16.04, does this has something to do with file permissions?
