Workaround for mouse bug!

go to the following folder:

...\Documents\Battlefield 2042\

There is an folder named Settings

Rename this folder like this > Settings_Old

When you know start the game it is like starting a new game:

  • Weird resolution
  • Bot match which you can end quickly by pressing escape and returning to menu

Tested one short round it worked then for me

Hugh let down you need to redo your setting from the scratch

Rank and unlocks are still there for me!

Hope this works for you (if not you have still yournold file in setting_old!!)

[UpDate]

it could happen that after this step you can't bind any mouse key

if you do the above-mentioned steps, then redo your graphics settings and after this close the game

After restart it is possible that you can bind your keys on your mouse again

This worked for me i hope this will work for you too

See you on the Battlefield 🥳 Gl & hf

  • Hey all!

    Thank you so much for the reports about the mouse not working properly in-game since Update 3.

    We have passed it on to the teams and it is being looked into.

    Main workaround (this will reset all your in-game settings):

    Restore default settings by removing "PROFSAVE" files in My Documents > Battlefield 2042 > Settings

    If this does not work, there is another workaround that seems to do the trick for many:

    • Edit the PROFSAVE_profile located in \Documents\Battlefield 2042\settings
      • Open the PROFSAVE_profile with Notepad
      • Remove the lines that start with "GstKeyBinding.infantry.ConceptYaw"
      • Save and start the game again

    A few other possible workarounds that have worked for players (ordered from easy to more drastic):

    • Disconnect any USB peripherals (like a controller or extra mouse)

    • Reset the keybindings for Mouse & Keyboard > OnFoot

    • Reset the keybindings for Mouse & Keyboard > OnFoot > Edit KeyBindings > Movement

    • Reset all keybindings

    • Remove the Battlefield 2042 folder from the My Documents folder (this will reset all your in-game settings)

    *Marking this temporary as resolved to make it more visible for other players.
