Unable to change resolution or DLSS - Cyberpunk keeps resetting them

[Phragmites]

My system: 10700k, RTX 3070, 32GB RAM, NVMe Drive for games, 1440p gsync monitor.

I've been trying to see if DLDSR will make any difference to graphics quality & FPS as 1.5 has nerfed my frame rate. So,

• I enable DLDSR x1.78 in Nvidia Control Panel
• start Cyberpunk
• change the resolution to 3413x1920, click Apply
• then Esc to go back

and when I pop back into Video settings it's back to 1440p again. Same thing happens with DLSS - I can change it to Performance and apply the change, but going back to settings and it has gone back to Quality. Nothing remains changed.

Oddly, I can't even set it in \AppData\Local\CD Projekt Red\Cyberpunk 2077\UserSettings.json - when I start the game it just writes over any changes I've made to that file. If I make that file read-only it complains on startup that the usersettings.json is corrupt and sets resolution & DLSS back to 1440p & Quality in-game anyway.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Figured it out - it's the Adaptive Graphics Quality mod. I hadn't realised that it doesn't just mirror the Video & Graphics settings in the game menu, but it acts to replace how those settings are set. I'm able to change the resolution & everything else now.

Unearthing this post after 4 years to THANK YOU !! I've had this problem for the past 6 months but couldn't figure what it was, tried the same steps, reinstalled drivers, put the ini file in read only... Just didn't have the heart to try every mod in my 900 mod list to see what it was, and didn't look further since it was locked to my main screen resolution, so it was a small issue. Came back after a break, remembered the problem, and now your post is one of the first that popped when googling the issue ! You saved me from going through my mods one by one to find the culprit haha
Thanks
