Settings resets to default

@EA_Leeuw I'm running the default Windows defender. This is the 3rd time my settings have been reset.

@sk1lld, alright, can you make an exclusion for the Documents folder in Defender?

I would also like to recommend to check if the Origin clous saves could be the issue here.

Can you see if the following works for you:
- open Origin as normal

- click in the upper-left corner on Origin > Application settings

- click in the top bar on Installs & Saves and disable Origin Cloud

- save and reboot Origin

- start BF2042 and check your settings, change something if needed

- close game & Origin & reboot PC

- open Origin again and re-enable Origin cloud saves

- open BF2042 and if it asks you to replace saves, click on the field that says to replace the cloud saves with the local saves (override cloud with local)

- see if the settings are still the same or reset

You know, I never turned off cloud saves when I reinstalled Origin. After cloud saves corrupted a game save once in the past, I always had that setting turned off. I will try it with cloud saves turned to off.

Thank you.

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

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.

Too early to tell, it's a random thing. But so far so good.
