Incorrectly reading Enum from GameUserSettings

Development Programming & Scripting C++

In my project I’ve created a custom GameUserSettings class and defined some Enums, and variables that use those enums. This is what it looks like:

#pragma once

#include "CoreMinimal.h"
#include "GameFramework/GameUserSettings.h"
#include "BoozeGameUserSettings.generated.h"

UENUM(BlueprintType)
enum class EBoozeUserSetting3Way : uint8 {
	Disabled       UMETA(DisplayName = "Disabled"),
	Reduced        UMETA(DisplayName = "Reduced"),
	Full		   UMETA(DisplayName = "Full"),
};

UENUM(BlueprintType)
enum class EBoozeLanguageSetting : uint8 {
	English        UMETA(DisplayName = "English"),
};

UENUM(BlueprintType)
enum class EBoozeControllerTypes : uint8 {
	X360        UMETA(DisplayName = "X360"),
	XSERIESX	UMETA(DisplayName = "XSERIESX"),
	STEAMDECK	UMETA(DisplayName = "STEAMDECK"),
	PS5			UMETA(DisplayName = "PS5")
};

/**
 * 
 */
UCLASS()
class UBoozeGameUserSettings : public UGameUserSettings
{
	GENERATED_UCLASS_BODY()

public:

	UFUNCTION(BlueprintCallable, Category = "BoozeGameUserSettings|Gameplay")
		void ApplyBoozeGameplaySettings();

	UFUNCTION(BlueprintCallable)
		static UBoozeGameUserSettings* GetBoozeGameUserSettings();

	UPROPERTY(Config, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = "BoozeGameUserSettings|Gameplay")
		EBoozeUserSetting3Way HintIcons;

	UPROPERTY(Config, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = "BoozeGameUserSettings|Gameplay")
		EBoozeUserSetting3Way CameraShake;

	UPROPERTY(Config, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = "BoozeGameUserSettings|Gameplay")
		bool bAlwaysUseHoldQTE;

	UPROPERTY(Config, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = "BoozeGameUserSettings|Gameplay")
		EBoozeLanguageSetting Language;
};

(Yes, I’m being lazy and not using get/set functions for these - I’m just testing at the moment)

When I set any of these variables from Blueprints, they correctly save in GameUserSettings.ini, and reading them for the rest of the session is fine.

[/Script/BoozeGame.BoozeGameUserSettings]
HintIcons=Reduced
CameraShake=Full
bAlwaysUseHoldQTE=False
Language=English

But in a new session where the values are read from the .ini, the enum values are not read correctly and instead read as the first index (i.e. HintIcons reads as ‘Disabled’, rather than ‘Reduced’). Other settings like bAlwaysUseHoldQTE are correct, so I know that it is able to save and read from the file etc.

I’m not sure what could be wrong here - would appreciate any ideas.
