Vegas pro 22 - Preference settings will not be saved when reopening

Hello there great community,

I just updated to Vegas PRO 22 (Build 122) and worked with it. However it is impossible to save my preference settings and make Vegas remember it next time I reopen the project. It just does not work.

Only workaround is to export the settings and then every time I open vegas I have to import my stored settings. That is very very annoying and I cannot recall such stupid behaviour from Vegas Pro 19 ?

Also, as the GPU acceleration will constantly cause VEGAS to crash while rendering I tend to deactivate it. This option will NOT be stored with exporting the settings.
So I have to deactivate the GPU every time I open a project after having imported my preference settings. What is wrong with that?

Everybody is praising VEGAS 22. But even the most basic things don't work.

Any tips how to fix it ?

 

Thanks a lot.

Vegas might not be exiting memory immediately when you exit Vegas. To see if that's the case, look in task manager under details and see if vegas220.exe exits memory immediately after you exit out of Vegas. On some systems, Vegas remains running up to a minute. Preferences and other things don't update if Vegas is restarted before the previous instance terminates. If that's the case, you can kill Vegas in memory with task manger before restarting. Or wait and see if it exits on its own.

Thanks for the tip, but it does not make any difference. Actually the vegas.exe process in the task manager will be also terminated after closing Vegas within seconds. That does not have any effect on remembering my preference settings when reopening. So the only workaround right now is to open Vegas, open the project, import settings and disabling GPU every time, hopefully VEGAS will not crash. If it crashes I have to kill it in the task manager anyway. So still looking for solving that issue.
 

What I will do, because I have just finished a project I will reinstall VEAGS and uninstall PRO 19. 😉

Actually no. I cannot uninstall 19 as it is connected with VEGAS POST and apps like Vegas Effects etc... Effects will not work anymore if I uninstall 19.

So I will just reinstall 22 and see if it fixes the issue.

So... it seemed I solved the issue. The last Project was edited in Vegas Pro 19 and I continued to work on it while open it in PRO 22. Then I had the issues cited above.
I just opened a new project did some editings, saved it. Reopen it and voilà all my preference all my settings stayed the same. So everything is working perfectly now. thanks. and wish you a nice week.😀
