A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

Setting up "Allow autoaim" to NO is not saved. After every GZDoom restart its enabled again.
I had to use autoexec.cfg to disable this annoyance.
I expected this to be saved in my ini file - it does, but it is enabled again after restarting GZDoom.
Tested with latest stable and test build - same issue. Searching online I am finding it looks like this issue is present for sometime.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour.

Options - Full menu - Gameplay settings - Allow autoaim to NO. Than quit gzDoom and open it - setting is again enabled and in use. Expected is to be disabled once it's set in menu.

Current workaround was to create autoconfig.cfg in gzdoom directory with content:
set dmflags 0
set dmflags2 8388608
set dmflags3 0
but this is not practical/easily known solution for average user.

Even setting autoaim=0 in ini file doesn't survive new start of gzdoom.exe. It just ignores ini setting and on exit, it writes back to ini autoaim=1.

Gameplay settings are set up per game session and not saved to the config file.

Have you tried the user setting instead? "autoaim 0" in the console.

Hi! I used autocfg workaround to disable autoaim in singleplayer game.

IMHO, this is not a game session option, but gameplay option - I do not want to have any autoaim ever enabled (I use freelook and kb/mouse and don't play classic Doom). Why is there an option in menu then (which doesn't work)?

Edit: Misunderstood you :) IMHO this should be general setting and not placed in gameplay settings :)
