Game Settings Not Saving when Closing Game

My game settings aren't saving in Path of Exile 1 when I close the game and then re-open. Keybinds, graphics settings are all reverting to default every time I close the game. I'm playing on PC on steam.

This can have a few different causes.

This is the problem.

Path of Exile and OneDrive don't play nicely with one another.

If you have OneDrive stop backing up your Documents directory, the problem will go away. But so long as OneDrive is storing your configuration file on Microsoft's servers instead of locally on your computer, Path of Exile will continue being unable to write changes to it.
