      Everytime I start a game I need to set all my settings and Hotkeys again.
      In the folder of SCFA is the game.pref and game.pref BAD-file and the second one also looks corrupted.
      Folder:

      game.pref BAD-file

        Have you tried deleting the game.prefs file and seeing if the issue persists? Try deleting it entirely, let the game recreate it, then update your settings.

          @exselsior I did but it didnt help. I started a new game fixed the settings but next game they were lost again, unfortunetly.
          Dont know if it has smth to do with my client version? Because of a bug I am playing on "2023.2.0-alpha-3".

            It is probably related to your security settings or/and file permissions of your user account.

              Sounds possible but I must admit that my knowledge about such things quite small is. As such I need some time for the resolution.
              Anyway thx for the quick help.

                Found the solution!
                Control panel -> system and security -> windows firewall -> Allow program or feature through windows firewall -> check the box "public" for the FaF-Client
                Now all my settings, Hotkeys and mods are saved and loaded.

                  Not sure if what you did fixed it, but we also included a possible fix in the game patch, see also:
