every time i start the game it starts in 4:3, makes me watch the cinematic etc.

basically its as if I start the game for the first time every time, it doesnt remember my video settings or account username, makes me watch the cinematic

is there a fix for this?

note: i downloaded the game today, last time I played on the warmane server was 5 years ago

Righ click wow folder > properties > uncheck read only

right click on warcraft icon (eventually whole folder with the game)> properties > uncheck 'only to read'
