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?

Hey @honeythief1,

Have you tried the previously mentioned troubleshooting steps?

Hi @EA_Leeuw,
It's really nice to try to help, and i don't blame you for doing whatever you can to try to help players.
But did those advices ever helped someone ?
Since launch players report this problem, and answers from EA here point everything except the game.... Onedrive, antivirus, etc. etc.
Just look back:
https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Game-keeps-resetting-all-my-settings/td-p/11026887
Same problem, another comunity manager with same answers.. and it didn't help.
Just search the forum there are other treads about the same problem.
As the bug is random, you may have luck for a few days or weeks... sometimes not.
So i would like to understand why it looks like EA members are distracting us from the bugged game, pointing other sources of problems with BF2042.
I might be wrong but it look quite obvious that the problem comes from the game. And maybe, talking to the devs would be a better way of solving it than creating a diversion on the forum (aka: "this isn't a bug from our game everything is fine").
I really wish i'm wrong, please tell me this worked for someone.

  Hey @l_Grand_Vizir_l,
  
  I fully understand the frustration that these issues can cause. And I appreciate your reply.
  
  It is indeed the case that in a lot of situations having a cloud backup software installed, like OneDrive, can cause these kinds of issues. We have seen this in the pas as well quite a lot of times, therefore it is one of the first things we mention. 🙂
  
  Thank you.

    Didn't last long.
    The game just reset everything and is playing the tutorial again "No update or anything just did it". This is a brand-new computer and not the one I originally had the problem on. I'm thinking it's time I retire BF2042, because I can find no fix this random error.
    Also present:
    Random DirectX crashes.
    Persistent data errors "wont launch"
    Invisible players.
    This game is a mess.
