BF6 - battlefield 6 warning your save files are corrupt

I'm going to be very honest here because at this point I'm completely out of patience.

EA support on this issue has been extremely frustrating, and I want to clearly explain why this is not a single-PC error or user error problem. I have 3 gaming desktops and 1 gaming laptop in my household. I travel frequently for work and I use my laptop to play games during my downtime. The first issue I encountered was when I first purchased Battlefield 6. Upon installing the game onto my gaming laptop I immediately ran into a driver compatibility issue between the integrated and dedicated GPU's on the laptop. I tried for a while to find a working fix and nothing worked, It was annoying but fine. I moved on and accepted that one. I then installed Battlefield 6 on my primary desktop and immediately hit a secure boot issue, I found a resolution, and the game worked perfectly for months. Installed the game on every desktop in my house no issues for months.

Then the real problem started, One desktop randomly started showing the Battlefield 6 Error message "Warning: Your save files are corrupt" I tried every solution available online that I could find. Nothing worked. Eventually, I got annoyed and completely removed the game and gave up on that machine. I then switched to my older desktop ( Gaming PC now a guest PC) Again, the game worked fine for about a month or two. Then, out of nowhere the game crashed the entire computer mid-match. After rebooting, the same issue appeared "Warning: Your save files are corrupt" And once again I tried every available fix I could find online. And nothing worked. I did a full uninstall of the game, full removal and reinstall of the EA App, Full removal and reinstall of EA anti cheat, Disabled all overlays, I even tried adjusting the Window Windows exploit protection settings, Tried verifying files and repairing files in Steam, Cleaned shader caches and did clean installs. NOTHING WORKED.

Absolutely nothing has fixed this issue at this point, my laptop can't run the game due to GPU driver conflicts that EA doesn't have support for. I also now have two desktops that can't run the game either because of the same error. While I genuinely want to enjoy this game. I have been patient. I accepted some of the issues on my end. I accepted reinstalling and troubleshooting. But when a game becomes completely unplayable across three separate machines with no fix insight, That's beyond frustrating. Is it too much to ask for. 1 A clear explanation of what the cause of this error is 2. Confirmation whether this is tied to cloud save or an anti cheat error or account data error and 3. An actual resolution path not generic reinstall steps.

Because right now, Battlefield 6 is ineffectively unplayable in my household and I have run out of patience and things to try.

    Hello friend!

    Even after uninstalling or re-installing the game, the local save folders will not necessarily get deleted or replaced by a re-install.

    Lots of games are intended to function this way in order for players to not lose progress or game settings if they have to re-install the game.

    Suggestion do it manually:

    Penguin suggest go to folder Documents 👉 Battlefield 6 👉 Settings👉 Steam 👉 and delete both files:

    PROFSAVE
    PROFSAVE_profile

    It should look something like this: 👇



    After having deleted those folders, the game will create new ones for you when launching the game if it doesn't find existing ones during the loading Player_Profile process.

    Only your in Game Settings will be reset.

    Game progress = Safely stored on Battlefield server 🛡️

    After doing this you can try re-launch the game, hope this helps friend! 😀

    If the issue still persists you may have to delete all files in the Battlefield 6 settings folder.

    NOTE:⚠️ Ingame settings will be reset⚠️

    Big Fan Of Battlefield!
    Many Thanks
    Penguin

    Hmm, very interesting. I'm having the same problem in BF6 right now.

    Even when I start the game, the FPS drops to 25-30+ frames (where it was always 90-120+).

    i9 9900k
    3090
    32Gb RAM
    Win 11

    UPD : Great, after 2 hours you can already play with pleasure.

  • Same problem here. I've had this problem twice now; everything was working perfectly until a few weeks ago. The really annoying thing is that you have to completely reconfigure everything (graphics, movement, etc.), which is incredibly frustrating. I completely reinstalled my system last weekend, including BF6. Today I encountered the error again. The quality of today's games has unfortunately declined significantly. Here are some specs of my system for reference:

    AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
    MSI B850 GAMING PLUS WIFI (MS-7E56) (latest BIOS)
    ASUS PRIME Radeon RX 9070 XT GAMING OC
    Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) 6000MHz CL30
    Win 11 with latest updates

    Keep in mind I also had this exact same ISSUE  2042 that was never resolved. Which is part of the reason why I never played it again. This is the only PC game I have EVER had these issues with.
