I am getting hit with exactly the same things. I've occasionally had a thing where it resets the resolution to some super low res, but this time all settings were gone and I had to setup everything again... Didn't know it was a requirement to keep a backup of the game settings for this game, but it doesn't come as a surprise...

I always have a backup of my Settings folder under documents, since a hard crash could destroy your profsave file. Just make a copy of your folder and whenever this happens:

-be happy that you have a copy of your settings folder

-get thru the intro/prologue until you get into the main menu(not doing this might botch your copied folder later)

-exit the game

-delete Settings folder

-rename your copied settings folder to the deleted one

-instantly make a copy of this folder again in case anything goes wrong

Served me well and saved a load of time when trying to find out a stable gaming overclock on BFV
