Mount and blade warband btw

So I can play the game for the most part fine. But when I go to save game settings like battle size and lance control, it doesn't save and the next time I start warband up, it's reset so that my changes aren't there.

The other issue is at the top of the settings menu it says "STR NOT FOUND: _ui_music_volume" and I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to be like that.

What should I do?

For saving - make sure you run the game as admin and also don't install the game in Program files folder.

For the other issue, see here - http://www.gog.com/forum/mount_blade_series/minor_options_menu_interface_issue

To the music thing, what was posted in that topic, adding a blank line, worked.

To the first problem, it did not. Coincidentally I discovered a workaround when the game crashed as I was maximizing the window at an inopportune time.

The workaround, for anyone that encounters this problem and if it's not fixed, is this: When you change the settings, don't close the normal way, by clicking save and exit and/or then clicking Exit the game. If you alt f4 or click the x button to close (x is if you're playing windowed) it will save the settings.

An alternative to this that I a search turned up was from the steam forums and it is to edit this file manually.

It would appear that something is reverting the settings when you close Warband the normal way through the ingame buttons. I don't know if I should pursue a bug report or something. I mean it's an easy workaround but I don't like the idea of having to do that stuff when it should just save on it's own.
