Problem #8 Unreal Tournament 3 Configs dont get saved / UT3 settings and cd-key not saved / cd-key problem
Solution A : Make sure that the MY DOCUMENTS or and UT3 folder is not set as read-only (as posted by VoodooMaster)
Solution B : It seems that you have to create a profile in order to save player settings and campaign progress. Just leaving the user name and password fields empty and choosing “Play offline” doesn’t work. (as posted by Reaping-ant)
Solution C : The problem is not only the path to the “My Documents” folder but how windows reads the folder. Creating a fake one means windows doesnt see it as “My Documents”, and simply a folder caled “My Documents”. For those who have moved their “My Documents” folder, point it back at the fake folder you created, and the install will then make the files in the appropriate location. HOWEVER:
If you move the My Documents folder back to where it was before the whole thing goes kaput. (As postd by EG|DJANGO)
Solution D : if you have the “my games/unreal tournament 3 demo” in “my documents” i made a copy and named it “unreal tournament 3″, put it in the same location (my games\..) and then started the game. clicked yes to remake the ini’s, entered my info and it seemed to have saved it.

Solution E : Adding “-nohomedir” to the VERY end of my desktop icon seems to have fixed my CD-Key and Settings not being saved issue. So here is what I did: (as posted by Clark Kent)
“C:\Program Files\Unreal Tournament 3\Binaries\UT3.exe” -nohomedir
