Summarize your bug Yesterday and today my game settings have reversed back to default and I have to watch/play and then exit the tutorial, please sort this out. Its super frustrating having to sit and watch the intro to the tutorial and then change my settings back to what I actually want.
How often does the bug occur? Rarely (0% - 9%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I don't know try launch the game several times?
What happens when the bug occurs? Every setting resets back to default from graphics to keybidings and I have to play the tutorial till I exit it.
What should be happening instead? It should just let me play the game like I do most of the time

Please fix this bug, its annoying that my game keeps reseting... all my settings are back to default and I have to play the tutorial (till I exit it)

    Hi there, you're on PC so I suspect you have some files which are stuck in read-only mode. Usually the easiest way around this is to wipe the files and let the game recreate them. 

    To start, close the game. Then navigate to C:\Users\yourusername\Documents\Battlefield 2042\settings.

    You may want to make a backup of all the files here to your desktop or another location, just to be sure. 

    Next, delete each file at this location. Now restart the game and it should recreated these files fresh, and hopefully now when you make changes they stick and you won't need to keep doing the tutorial..
