OK this is what FINALLY worked for me. I tried everything in this forum and even experimented, but here is what worked...
---<WARNING>---
This will delete all your option settings just like you hit the Set to Defaults button.
1.) Delete the file in your EQ2 directory "eq2_recent.ini"
2.) Start game as usual, but wait till the pre-options screen comes up...
3.) Choose Resolution, then log in and start rest of game
4.) Customise all you options from scratch in OPTIONS menus.
Now you should be able to play as normal changing stuff at will when ever you like and it will save for all chars. No special log in/out required or setting files to read only.
One other tip for those who don't already know this...
If you have multiple toons and hate setting up the UI for every toon, then do this...
1.) Choose 1 toon and setup everything in the UI how u like
2.) Find the file in the EQ2 directory should be something like server_toon_eq2_uisettings.ini
3.) Copy a duplicate of it and name exactly the same as the 2nd toon's UI file.
4.) Copy the newer ini file overwritting the 2nd toon's ini file.
5.) Log into game and your 2nd toon should have exact same UI setup as your 1st toon.
Hope this helps ANYONE!! Cuz it took me forever to figure all this junk out.
