Server multipliers resetting after changing GameUserSettings.Ini

[Apple]

Me and my dedicated server host are having a very difficult problem coming to the bottom of this,

It seems to be that whenever we added any setting or change any setting at that, will just reset itself to default, after the server is restarted.

Here's what I would change the GameUserSettings.ini to:

[ServerSettings]
ShowMapPlayerLocation=true
noTributeDownloads=true
allowThirdPersonPlayer=true
ServerCrosshair=true
ServerAdminPassword=2xYzEnRg
RCONEnabled=true
RCONPort=27020

But once you restart the server and save all the settings, it would just change back to what it was before, which was this:

[ServerSettings]
ShowMapPlayerLocation=true
noTributeDownloads=true
allowThirdPersonPlayer=true
ServerCrosshair=true

We made sure that nothing on the hosting providers side was preventing this, even went so far to contact the CEO of the provider to triple check. We can't get to the bottom of this and we need help from the developers themself! (If possible.) Any help is greatly appreciated at this point.

@Apple try posting this in the correct place. This is the Xbox/Windows 10 section.

Just a heads up, your admin password is in this. So if your players find this then....

@Apple

Just to clarify.. Because technically you said

Did you mean to say this instead?

because if you dont save before rebooting it Will be the old settings..

 

Well if it was a typo all along and you meant to say my correction, then:

You mentioned Host.. So.. Is it a machine you set up or are you renting one from a Host provider?

--i used to Rent from SurvivalServers and while its a great and reliable server host i had difficulties with its WebUI Config.. The Webform for the settings wouldnt update itself to reflect what was changed in the .ini file so.. When i edited the ini manually using ftp and notepad. Saved it.. Rebooted and it worked.. But no matter how many times i rebooted or refreshed the controlpanel webform the next time i changed something in the webform settings and saved it it would revert back to the previous settings that didnt get updated from the manual editing. 

Just saying keep that wierd Bug in mind if you are hotswapping between editing mediums. (I stuck to ftp editing after i figured it out)

 

Annnd lastly.. I have to ask is the .ini file in readonly?
