    The only time this happened to me was OneDrive that caused it, I paused OneDrive went to OneDrive saves on-line and deleted the BF2042 folder there and restarted the game and it was fine.

    I don't know what your issue is have you tried to verify game files in your BF2042 game directory?

    What I found online.

    Here are some ways to fix corrupt save files in Battlefield 2042:
    Rename Battlefield’s PROFSAVE_tmp file to just PROFSAVE.
    Run the game as administrator.
    Remove the temporary game files.
    Allow game files through antivirus.
    Close OneDrive.

    Sorry I don't have a better answer.

    If that doesn't work then try deleting the Battlefield 2042 folder in Documents. All your saved game data and settings will be reset.

    Is the game installed on Steam? Maybe Steam stores the save files in a different location.

    After further reading it appears some people are having issues with EA App Cloud Save trying to reinstall the corrupt save file after it's been deleted from the Documents folder.

    I believe EA App will say something about 'cloud data sync mismatch' when the save files in Documents doesn't match the files in EA Cloud Save.

    Choose the option to use Local files on your hard drive when EA App asks which files to use. Make sure to delete the 'Battlefield 2042' folder in Documents before launching the game.

    Hi guys! Just FYI I Uninstalled & reinstalled EA (didn't delete any inside files) and it worked on the first try. Just a heads up if anyone else has this issue.

    I had issue. 

    Ea app caused corruption, I reinstalled ea app. Deleted save files. Worked. (one of the files was corrupted, size didn't match at all, I compared it with backup.)

    Always backup save files.
