Could not make EditorPerProjectUserSettings.ini writable

When I want to change my project settings (in particular: the editor sound setting) I get the following notification (in a toast message)…

Could not make /home/bjarno/UnrealProjects/TopDownTestProject/Saved/Config/Linux/EditorPerProjectUserSettings.ini writable.

However, when I restart the editor, and test, my changes have been changed. When googling about more information about this problem, I found the following issue… https://issues.unrealengine.com/issue/UE-37228 which has the same details, but with a different file.

This happens on a self-built Unreal Engine 4.15.1 on Linux x64. The project itself is the built-in TopDown (C++) project.

I’m quite new to Unreal Engine and while this is a minor issue, I think this message simply should not appear.

Hey BjarnoBe-

As noted in the report you linked, this issues is slated to be fixed with the 4.16 version of the engine. If you still encounter this after 4.16, please let us know and we will investigate further.

Cheers

The linked issue only shows this for the “DefaultEngine.ini” file. But maybe this will also be fixed in 4.16. That’s why I posted this “question”. If it is not fixed in 4.16 I’ll let you guys know!
