Disabling Console

Restore the file first. Deleting the file and starting the game should do the trick, if you got no backup of the file.

I deleted the 1.. typed a 0... File>Save

SHOULD work but it doesn't ☹️

Wow...

I tried this. Loved the idea but didn't work ☹️

WARNING: Your save file(s) are corrupt and could not be read by the

game. Continuing will overwrite the corrupt save file.

Only it does not overwrite the edited file

I have completely Uninstalled EA and BF and deleted ALL leftover files/folders and registry entries. Downloaded from scratch and reinstalled

And it STILL says that.

I cannot play the game now.

Windows 10, naturally.

I will not be reinstalling Windows to play BF2042

Great program you have, EA

Your patch today * UP my UI... that is what started all of this.

Your CONSOLE hot-keyed RIGHT NEXT to the '1' key... GENIUS!!

And then refusing to FIX YOUR MISTAKE.... really???

Pfft

Guess I'm all done messing with this franchise ☹️

UPDATE

I lied to yas.. I was gonna delete these posts but I'm going to leave them JUST IN CASE someone else finds this thread and has similar experience

It IS WEIRD that a fresh install of the game from scratch gave the SAME ERROR.... file corrupted... :o

But the game will overwrite the file

You must keep clicking through that error box. After clicking it 2 or 3 times, it, and the larger window freeze up. I kept restarting or manually closing down the game at this point. This time I kept moving my mouse and right-clicking to get the windows to cycle (may not have been necessary and may not have actually DID anything)

It finally fires up the game. The freeze must be the game overwriting the "corrupt file"

Fresh install... don't understand HOW it could be corrupt unless there is a cloud backup of your saved game files?? Possibly I guess.

Anyhoo... keep clicking the OK button for the "continuing will overwrite the file" and it will fix the game

It WILL NOT fix the CONSOLE problem!

The patch I did to start the day screwed up my UI but the fresh install seems to have fixed that as well! 🙂

(this could have been UI settings in truth. they are all now default again and I'm not having troubles as of yet)

Hope all this helps someone! 🙂

So I have to actually damage my keyboard to stop the console from opening?? lol

So is it possible to disable the console in Advanced Launch Options, or not? 🙌

@Qendiil2621 Thank you spam-clicking the OK helped me 🙂
