I'm pretty sure you're dealing with a common Windows permission conflict where the game is being "locked out" of its own configuration files. Since your settings reset to zero and you can't even load the tutorial, it means the game engine is failing to write to your disk or initialize the audio/logic engine properly. Here are the specific steps to fix this, without the fluff:

  1. Nuke the Config folder. This is the most important step for the "reset to zero" bug. Old settings from previous versions often corrupt the new ones. Press (Win + R), type (%localappdata%), and find the (VotV) folder. Go to (Saved > Config > WindowsNoEditor) and delete everything inside, especially (GameUserSettings.ini). When you relaunch, the game will be forced to generate clean files that actually work.
  2. Disable "Read-only" on AppData. Windows sometimes gets overprotective of the AppData folder. Right-click that same (VotV) folder in LocalAppData, go to Properties, and uncheck "Read-only". Click "Apply" and make sure it applies to all subfolders and files. If the game doesn't have "write" access, clicking "Apply" in the menu does nothing because the file is locked by the system.
  3. Relocate the game folder. If you have the game sitting in your (Downloads), (Desktop), or (Program Files), Windows Security might be sandboxing it. Move the entire VotV folder to a different drive (like D:) or directly to the root of your (C:) drive (e.g., C:\VotV). Also, make sure you are running the .exe as an Administrator.
  4. Install OpenAL (Audio Fix). The lack of sound and the tutorial failing to load is a dead giveaway that the audio engine didn't initialize. VotV requires OpenAL. Look inside your game folder for a file named (oalinst.exe) and run it. If it’s not there, download the OpenAL Windows Installer manually. Without this, the game often soft-locks when trying to load assets or saves.
  5. Check Windows "Controlled Folder Access". This Windows 11 feature is notorious for breaking indie games. Go to Windows Security > Virus & threat protection > Manage ransomware protection. If "Controlled folder access" is ON, it’s likely blocking VotV from saving. Either turn it off or add the VotV executable to the "Allow an app through Controlled folder access" list.

In short: delete the old config files in AppData, move the game to a non-protected drive, and install OpenAL. If those suwaki (sliders) still won't stay put, your Windows user profile might have corrupted permissions, but these steps usually solve it for 99% of players. Let me know if that gets you back into the facility!
