 Description   

For me the brightness option gets reset. Every now and then, when I start the game, the brightness is set to the default (moody) after setting it to +50% the former time I played.


It looks like, for at least the video settings page, there's an options state in memory that saves and updates the game, as expected, whenever you press 'done' or the 'esc' key.
However, options.txt is only saved-to when you press 'done', and not when you press the 'esc' key.

Now it's really fixed. 16w41a

Comment by Fabian Röling [ 01/Oct/16 ]

Apparently I was wrong with the fixed version. Confirmed for 16w39c.

Comment by Fabian Röling [ 02/Sep/16 ]

Seems to be fixed in 16w35a.

Comment by Fabian Röling [ 26/May/16 ]

Confirmed for 16w21a.

snapy666: you can disable emails by clicking "Stop watching this issue" under where it shows votes and the reporter. (You'll still get emails if you're watching the issue, even if you're not the reporter)

Comment by [Mod] redstonehelper [ 12/Mar/16 ]

Changed reporter to myself.

Comment by Josh Miller [ 12/Mar/16 ]

@FVbico Could you please disown this bug report from me? If not, is there a way I can delete my account? These annoying emails for every comment are driving me nuts..

Comment by SunCat [ 12/Mar/16 ]

Still in 1.9.1-pre3

I'm not watching this bug

Comment by SunCat [ 07/Mar/16 ]

snapy666, click at "Stop watching this issue"

Comment by Josh Miller [ 07/Mar/16 ]

Is there a way for me to disable notifications? I created this bug report, so it seems I'm still getting notified, even though I'm not watching this bug.

Comment by Sealbudsman [ 07/Mar/16 ]

In 1.9, it seems to only apply to the sliders (render distance, framerate, mipmap, brightness). Buttons work fine.

Comment by SunCat [ 05/Mar/16 ]

Confirmed for 1.9

Comment by Sealbudsman [ 20/Feb/16 ]

Confirmed through 1.9-pre2.

Is this still an issue in the current Minecraft Snapshot 15w49b or later? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

Make sure to exit the game by menu and not simply closing it.

Comment by [Mod] Sonicwave [ 12/Apr/15 ]

Confirmed for 1.8.2 and 1.8.3.

Comment by Roadsguy [ 19/Dec/14 ]

Can confirm for 1.8.2-pre1, Windows 7, Java 8u25 x64.

Comment by Galaxy_2Alex [ 19/Dec/14 ]

Wasn't able to reproduce it on Windows 8.1 with 1.8.2-pre1.

Comment by Lucas Ignacio Morrison Osorio [ 18/Dec/14 ]

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft 1.8.2-pre1? If so, please update the Affects Versions so that this issue is still valid with the current pre-releases.

Comment by [Mod] Sonicwave [ 18/Dec/14 ]

Confirmed for 1.8.1.

Comment by [Mod] Sonicwave [ 13/Oct/14 ]

Seems related to MC-35026

Comment by Roadsguy [ 10/Oct/14 ]

Still happens in 1.8.

Comment by [Mod] Ezekiel (ezfe) [ 09/Feb/14 ]

Reopened

Comment by theo [ 08/Feb/14 ]

I have this issue in 14w06b

Comment by [Mod] Ezekiel (ezfe) [ 29/Jan/14 ]

Ok, if you experience this issue in the future I can reopen it.

Comment by Josh Miller [ 29/Jan/14 ]

I just tested it and it seems to be fixed. Thanks!

Comment by [Mod] Ezekiel (ezfe) [ 29/Jan/14 ]

Is this still a concern in the latest Minecraft version 14w04b? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

Comment by Søren Frank [ 04/Jul/13 ]

I have this issue. But only in Minecraft 1.6.1.

Comment by Kude k [ 06/Dec/12 ]

Ok, I have news regarding this. This was a problem I had last night. I turned my computer off. My internet was out for a bit because of "maintenance." When I turned my computer on, I played some minecraft, and the problem was fixed. I don't know if it was the reboot, or the internet.

Comment by Pixelgraph [ 06/Dec/12 ]

This happen to me very often. with no mods.

Comment by [Mod] CubeTheThird [ 28/Nov/12 ]

Ok well if you can confirm that this happens without any mods installed, feel free to create a new issue ticket.

Comment by Josh Miller [ 28/Nov/12 ]

Yes OptiFine, but I think it also happened to me when there were no mods installed. I just started Minecraft (with OptiFine installed) and the brightness wasn't reset so I assume that it only appears rarely.

Comment by [Mod] CubeTheThird [ 27/Nov/12 ]

Gotta ask, do you have any mods installed?
