I've pretty much memorised every bit of making my avatar since I've had to remake her everytime I load up the game. It's also reseting all my hotkeys and audio settings which means i'm pretty much deafened everytime I load up the game. I have to spen 3o minutes setting everything back up again.

Yup same problem...

I have this same issue, I'm really disappointed to see the number of posts about this with no resolution in close to a month. I guess I'm glad I didn't pay $60 for this mess (games pass), otherwise I'd be looking to return this game till they can actually get a simple thing like game settings figured out. 

Same problem. With the last update, my avatar reset with a default one every time I close the game and I need to create a new one.

I'm having the same problem as well. Downright embarrassing! It doesn't seem to concern the devs too much either.
