    I have tried several times to set a controller profile (CSW V2,BMW RIM, MPP) with FFB settings as well and renamed. I use it in game all good. Once I exit out of game and re-open thru Steam desk top icon or not thru Steam and directly from RRE desktop icon all my controller settings are gone as well as controller profile name that I created. The games local files are good. All my other sims, Project Cars ,Assetto Corsa and Iracing have the controller profiles saved. This is the only sim that giving me issues . Please help.

    Looks inside if your control set is in it.

    Ok. Do I do this once I make a profile in game than exit out to see if it's saved? Or check before I open game.

    Is the profile in that folder? If yes look in the wheel menu in the tap control sets, should be there.

    Right. Which version of Windows are you using?

    Sounds like the game can't permanently write to your documents folder, so you should make sure you're not using a restricted Windows account (like a guest account) and also try to run RRRE.exe in admin mode (find the exe in your steam installation folder, right click and set the tick at the bottom of the compatibility tab).
    After doing that re-boot your system and see if that helps. If it doesn't, report back, we'll get it working. ;)
