Re: Settings resets to default

Since the last update which is magnificent it must be said:

The game resets my settings, 3 times in two days and again this evening.
since this evening my mouse don't recognized at all, impossible to assign a touch.

Of course mice test on BF4 which works without problem.

    Hey there, 

    Thanks for the updates!

    What happens if you start up your PC in a Clean Boot before you launch BF2042? If there's anything else running in the background that could be causing issues with the settings being saved that may help to narrow it down. 


    For more information on how to set up a Clean Boot check out the EA Help website. Once you have the chance to give it a shot please let me know how it goes. Thanks!

    @EA_Kent Is this all a stupid joke? It is a problem that is from the beta and they have not solved it, I have a ps5 console, not a pc. It is a big problem for the whole community.

    I have the same issue but on PC.

    I keep getting forced to go through calibration and watch that stupid fkin intro over and over.
    i'm so frustrated, even more frustrated by this than any other issue the game has.
    FIX IT DICE / EA WTF!

    Hi all,

    I'm on PC.

    I have this bug since the launch.

    It has anoyed me for days... I've loocked in every forums and the only "solutions" proposed are to look on OneDrive or the Anti virus.... I've tried everything and it doesn't work.

    Sometimes i am lucky and the game will launch in normal way, but most of the time it reset my bindings and launch from the beginning with warning on epilepsy and tutorial...

    And even if it doesn't, i will have my screen resolution downed from 1080p to 1024 in a windowed mode.

    My game pretty never launch as it should do.

    We can't solve it by ourself, seing the same problem for console players make it more obvious than it was.

    Until Dice does something, and as they don't recongnise the problem it may takes ages. I have a silly but usefull temporary help for PC players.

    It doesn't solve it, but i would have uninstall the game if i had to rebind everything every time i want to play.

    - Launch your game, rebind all your fonctions and preference as you want. Stay in the main menu.

    - Don't close the game, press Alt+enter to return to your desk.

    - Go to Documents --> Battlefield 2042 --> settings.

    - Copy the PROFSAVE files (you'll find 2 files) to make a back up. I place them on my desk near my game launcher as i use them all the time

    - Now when you'll launch your game, if it reset your bindings, just Alt+F4. Copy paste your saved PROFSAVE files to replace the ones corrupted in the setting file.

    - Re launch the game and it should work. In rare occasions i had to do it 2 or 3 times before it worked but at least i didn't had to check 50 pages of settings ingame to rebind everything again and again.

    It won't solve the problem, but this allow me to play at last.

    Dice please !
