PlayerPrefs won't save in registry?

Hi,

some users of my windows build have the problem, that the playerprefs won't save?! I can't reproduce this issue and I have no idea, what's going wrong. For example, I am using Rewired from the asset store as input system.

Yesterday, I wrote a while with an user in a chat to find the error. He is running windows 10 with admin permissions. He downloaded the game several times - he copied the game to several locations. He has only running the windows defender and he has disabled it. There are only a few things who has saved in the registry:

Screenmanager Is Fullscreen mode_hxxx
Screenmanager Resolution Height_hxxx
Screenmanager Resolution Width_hxxx
unity.cloud_userid
unity.player_session_elapsed_timer_hxxx
unity.player_sessionid_hxxx
UnityGraphicsQuality_hxxxx
UnitySelectMonitor_hxxx

Normally, I do save some values at the beginning - Only a few (100-200) users have this problem and I have no idea what happened or how to fix this issue.

The user then copied the game to his laptop and it works...

Does anyone have any idea what happened?

Thanks and Cheers

 

Hi,

a user startet the game in a box and it works - so any ideas what does blocked it?

User comment:
"Ah thanks! I installed it on a win 7 box and works fine! Great work sir !"

Cheers

 

Probably am way past this issue now, but in case someone else comes stumbling past (like I did).

I had a similar issue - was using PlayerPrefs to save values for UI sliders, controlling audio mixer volume levels. The first value worked fine, the three other sliders with exactly the same code (excepting their different names, of course) wouldn't save at all.

Initially, PlayerPrefs worked fine (atleast for the first slider) - but I deleted the registry-entry for the game (probably a mistake), changed the Company Name in Edit > Project Settings > Player and then it stopped working completely. Tried restarting Unity, rebooting.. But no PlayerPrefs has since appeared.

So eventually just switched to loading & saving the data myself, which works entirely as expected. Tried looking for solutions, but only came across a bunch of folks saying 'saving in registry' is a bad practice.. So saving and loading data manually would be my recommendation. Piece!

 

for people encountering this issue, what solved it for me was to go and click Edit->Clear All PlayerPrefs and select Yes on prompt, afterwards it starts to work fine
