Not saving in build

[bradjensen68]

Not sure what I am doing wrong here. I am using the prefs editor to add two new Player Prefs "PlayerName" and "PlayerCountry" as strings. Since I don't have the input menus set up yet, I just put in default values and then save the whole thing. Works great in the Editor, but when I build (both for Web Gl and Windows) the values are not saved. I can't tell if just the default values are not saved or whether the new Player Prefs themselves are not saved.

Are you adding the preferences through the Prefs Editor window? If so then Player Prefs are only available on the machine where they are created - there is no automatic copying of these over to a different machine, and different builds use a different storage location.

You might need to add a basic component to set these from code if you need them initialising.

Ok, I wrote some code to enter the defaults into the Player Prefs at the start of the game.
