Today I had the problem again after starting up BF2042.
Appareantly after a few days it reset the width and height back to -1 in the PROFSAVE_profile config.
So it didn't help by manually editing it.
Checking and editing the config before you start the game is the only solution for me atm.
Why does it keep changing these settings to -1 ??
Community ManagerHi @EA_Leeuw
Yes, it's only the resolution that keeps changing.
So far everything else is still the same.
Community ManagerHey @Unimatrix08 @Gulpee_Rex @Gincules @RaijinFenrir8080 thanks for getting back to me.
QQ; are you all maybe using some kind of in-game overlay? So either Origin, Steam, Epic, Discord or Nvidia Overlay etc.? And when you try to disable this, does it happen as well?
Another thing I would like to know is if it's only the resolution that resets itself, or also the in-game refresh rate (monitor Hz etc.).
Origin overlay and Nvidia overlay are both disabled.
So won't be any of those.
The in-game refresh rate also reset itself to the lowest setting.
Community ManagerI'll try it out. Thanks
Community Manager@EA_LeeuwIts the steam overlay that most likely change those settings.
If i start recording with shadowplay and activate the overlay i can record with my ingame resolution.
But once i activate steam overlay and then back to the game and try to record using shadowplay again.
i can see the video is on 480p instead of the 4K resolution i have activated.
So the culprit is most likely the steam overlay.
i dont have origin overlay or discord overlay activated only nvidia which doesnt cause any issue and steam.
Since nvidia doesnt cause this issue while recording its most likely the steam overlay.
update
after playing couple of rounds and restarting the game couple of times i havent experienced any resolution reset.
i advise anyone to turn off any overlay wether its steam origin or discord.
Community ManagerWhy is this still an issue? I have to change my resolution every time I launch the game. It's annoying, and considering how long the game has been out and how many people complain about this, it should be a basic fix done a month ago.
