imo u should use an autoexec.cfg

and put the cg_autoaction 1in it.

try to put cl_demorecordmessage 1 as well ... to see if all work ok.

better yet:
create your own autoexec, you are quaker for long enough

seta autoaction "1"
.
.
.

do all your settings how you like, open console and type "writeconfig autoexec"

.

yep.

I prefer to name my cfgs though, and put "exec configname.cfg" in autoexec so its easier to switch dfault configs.

Should be saved automatically to your acount, maybe it's broken atm.

.

i think ql stores your config online somewhere and when you start the game it overwrites your current config with the one previously stored.
so make your changes ingame or writeprotect your cfg.
