Why does Doom Explorer no longer save additional command line parameters set in the main window as part of game configurations as it used to do, but instead erase them with every restart of the program? And why are such parameters set in the "Launch Game Parameters" window of the Options menu not sent to the game engine?

What additional parameters do you mean - in single game or multiplayer? Can you be more specific and give a step by step example of what you are doing
Parameters set in the "Launch Game Parameters" are used for multiplayer only - dont they work as expected too?

These sections don't save when the program is closed even when saving the configuration.

Everything works for me as it should - all parameters are saved and loaded
The only way to break the program that comes to my mind is to block the write to the configuration file (doomexplorer.ini) - in this case, no changes will be saved

It is writing. It seems to overwrite it whenever the program starts even if I edit the ini file.

Doom Exlorer writes ini-file only when closed (or click "Save" button in Options) - not at start. But when it read ini at start and encounters an invalid value, it uses the default value instead (for addparams it will be empty string). May be you incorrectly edit it?
Additional parameters for current single game settings are in section [SingleConfig0], parameter "addparams", for example
addparams=-test1,-test2
will add 2 strings to Additional parameters window: "-test1" and "-test2"
(although it's best to avoid editing this file)

This issue still exists in the newly released version 1.18. And I'm putting in the params correctly - they do what they're supposed to do in game. And those params are indeed saved when I close the program, but do not appear when I restart it, and are overwritten with a blank line if I do not re-enter them in the program.

this is really weird..show me this line from the ini file: addparams, from the [SingleConfig0] section (or better, the entire section)
