Settings won't save on GeForce Now
I love this mod, it makes staying on top of stats so much easier than just relying on Moodles. Unfortunately, as the title indicates, I play PZ on GeForce Now (GFN) because my PC is a potato. Annoyingly, this means every time I start a new session, the virtual PC I get assigned has to reinstall all 100+ mods. But then PZ runs great with settings maxed out, so that's nice.

The problem is that any adjustments I make to display bar settings like location, size, color, etc. do not persist from one PZ instance to the next. Even if I save them as a preset, there are no presets available other than the default the next time I load up PZ on GFN. The same goes for https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2004998206. Even though you can't save presets in that one, any changes you make to the bars persist between games within a PZ instance.

I can go in and out of as many saves, worlds, games, etc as I want within a single instance of PZ and all the settings & saved presets persist, but once I log out of that PZ instance & go back to the GFN home page, then go back into PZ, it has to reinstall all of my mods and all display bar settings and presets are gone.

Other mods that I use, like https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2577903374, https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2866258937, https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2434425002, etc. do keep their settings and customization information between GFN sessions even though the mods get wiped out and have to be reinstalled each time I log into PZ.

So, being totally ignorant and unable to access any files or folders in GeForce Now, I assume that the reason for this is the location where Maximum and Minimum Display Bars are storing their settings. They must be storing it in a a folder that gets deleted and recreated with each PZ session (the mods folder maybe?) on GFN. But the other mods which do keep settings between sessions must be saving that information to a user profile folder that persists between sessions and is saved for each GFN customer.

Sorry for the long explanation, I wanted to give enough information to clearly explain what's happening. So, can you think of any way to make it so the display bar settings can be saved between cloud gaming instances? Again, GFN doesn't give me any direct access to the files to modify anything or even look to see where it might be saving the info. I can only install mods exactly as they exist in the Workshop.

Any chance you could make a version of the mod that saves the presets to the user folder, or wherever it is that mods like Mini Health Panel save their panel display location? Or give me any clues as to whether it can even be done? Thanks for the awesome mod![/b] 🙏🏼
