Settings resets to default
So this is like the 3-4th time i get my settings reset to default. Intro scene is playing when starting the game. Is this because they updated the game/patched?
Forum Discussion
what's the issue with BF2042, every 4th or 5th time I launch the game it RESETs my settings as if I just bought the game that day.
is there a fix for this?
why dose this happen....
no im not alt + f4-ing i close the game from menu quit to desktop every time. and i swear 4th, or 5th game launch it resets my settings ALL settings...GFX, controls, bindings...i even have to watch the stupid tutorial introduction...good lord, what a joke.
so damn annoying........
c'mon EA/DICE give your heads a shake ffs
- @JudgmentOfHelion Are you launching origin and checking to be sure your account is active prior to launching the game? Could be an authentication server connection issue. I've seen this bug only once since launch.
I don't know why it's happening, but you can keep a copy of the BF2042 folder in Documents as a backup. Then just paste BF2042 folder back into Documents when the save file gets corrupted.
Maybe try turning off Origin Cloud Storage in the Origin app. If you're using Steam maybe see if it has a cloud storage feature too and turn it off.

Hey @JudgmentOfHelion,
Can you try the steps that I mentioned above?
And do you have something like OneDrive, Dropbox or Google Drive installed by any chance?
@sk1lld, has the issue been resolved for you? 🙂

@JudgmentOfHelion, alright. What I was thinking as well, is the following; is it possible that you maybe have Controlled folder access enabled for the BF2042 or Documents folder? This is a security setting of Windows which can also sometimes cause this to happen.
