In toribash, whenever I change the gravity, damage or any other setting, it just resets it back when I start a new game. Also when I press escape I cant get back to the menu so I have to keep stopping and starting the game. PLZ HELP!

Set it again.

when you set the settings make sure you press the "ok" button
but sometimes it is just glitchy so don't worry

I assume you are changing these values from the Gamerules menu.

If so, towards the bottom of the menu, next to Ok and Cancel, there should be a ticked box that says Start New Game, or something similar. Untick that box, and your game will no longer reset when you change a specific value.

Try ticking the "remember game rules" option.
