@fatherspace Hi, I didn't see this alert when you pinged me for some reason. The file to modify with respect to this guide is PROFSAV_profile. I do it in Notepad.
If that file isn't showing up or is otherwise problematic, then as was mentioned by another user, you should delete that file and repair the game. You can repair via Origin by right-clicking the game and selecting repair. You should be able to get everything back to normal. You'll have to start all over with the settings changes, but it's well worth fine tuning your settings from the get-go.
For future reference, I'd always make a copy of the PROFSAV_profile file once you make your satisfactory settings changes. Then, save it under a different name in the same folder or elsewhere.
I find it ridiculous there has to be this amount of troubleshooting to try and smoothly run the game…
@-s0-SDBNot really that ridiculous as there are just as many different system variations as there are problems. Meaning, your computer is different than mine and this goes for everyone out there. These sort of guides are great not only because someone(s) has taken the time to investigate solutions but actually are trying to give some direction on possible fixes. All games can and are tweaked by users and BF2042 is no different than any other game in this regard.
Cheers
