What if it never was an issue before? This just started to happen after the latest update (6.4.1). Like it doesn't save no matter how much I try. and I have never had that issue before with Reshade when I update or with other versions. I dont make my own presets.

As above I'm trying to save my preset for Advent Re-Shade and it's no working I just get this and don't know how to fix it.

On 6.3.3, file writes to reshade.ini are quite predictable. In-game, when I transition to a new preset, there's a save operation; each color bar in the Process Monitor screenshot belor represents a file access from the game (I'm assuming to save
(Please ignore the first color marker, it was wrongly placed for Explorer.EXE.)

On 6.4.0, though, ReShade.ini is accessed frequently as long as the ReShade UI is shown in-game:

I don't know if this an intended behavior, but it popped up as I was investigating a reported issue from another ReShade user that updated to 6.4.0; they reported that the Global Alpha value was being overwritten every time a new preset was loaded, with the value decreasing each time (the UI turning more and more transparent.) I wasn't able to reproduce the issue, but noticed this while doing root-cause investigation.

Thanks for your attention on this!

Hey everyone! I’ve watched a few tutorials and this issue was never mentioned so I decided to come here! Because of the new update I haven’t found any presets that actually work so I decided to try and make my own for fun! Well anytime I try to make it or really do any setting configurations, I get this error at the top of my screen. 

“unable to save configuration and/or current preset. Make sure file permissions are set up to allow writing to these paths and their parent directories”

C:\program files\EA games\The Sims 4\Game\Bin\Reshade.ini

Forums told me to run the game as administrator but it did not work. Otherwise, I couldn’t find a straight answer that people didn’t argue.
