Yes, I clicked the orange save configuration button at the bottom of the config tools window. That is why i tried it twice, i thought i may have messed that up but i didnt.
Every change i made was in the Modify Server Config tool. I have made no changes to the .ini file manually. Its the Modify Server Config tool that is resetting.
I put up a support ticket, but thought i would check here too. In my server config tool i was able to set player lvls to 250 and it saved and restarted the server just fine. However, when i try to set dino lvls to 300 and hit save, it restarts the server but resets all of my settings to default. Ive set it up twice now just to have 2 hours of work lost.. please helps.
