DX12 Disabled in PROFSAVE_profile
I just noticed this post by @FarbodGreen about enabling DX12 in the settings file (PROFSAVE_profile - attached): https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Decent-FPS-What-Rig-are-you-Using/m-p/10...
Forum Discussion
@FarbodGreen Changed to GstRender.Dx12Enabled 1 in PROFSAVE_profile and restarted BF2042, but it just reverts back to 0...is there more to this?
@FlatChatOpen the file with notepad and make sure you save it before you close the file.
Also, as I mentioned in this post (wrote in red): https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Decent-FPS-What-Rig-are-you-Using/m-p/10973713/highlight/true#M36844
sometimes when you change anything (graphics/display settings) inside the game, it might undo the DX12 back to 0 in PROFSAVE_profile. I'm not sure what are the possible causes for this, or which option will affect the DX12 to go back to 0.
just to be sure you won't need to do this again. tweak everything as you wish inside BF2042 (for example resolution or anything that has quality option), then close the game and set DX12 to 1. after that, reopen BF2042 and this time you can just leave the display settings as it is. if for any reason you wanted to change your settings from inside the game and felt like the FPS went back down, then you can simply close the game and go through this process again to enable DX12 and get back on the battlefield.
