3 hours agoHi there. Sorry to hear about your damaged save file. If your PC blue-screened while the game was running, the most likely cause is that the local save or settings profile was being written at the time and got corrupted.
What I’d recommend first is to back up and reset the local save file:
- Close Battlefield 6 completely
- Also fully close the EA app / Steam
- Go to:
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\Battlefield 6\settings\ - Make a backup copy of that whole settings folder somewhere safe
- In that folder, look for:
- PROFSAVE_profile
- PROFSAVE (if present)
- Rename them to something like:
- PROFSAVE_profile_old
- PROFSAVE_old
Then launch the game again and let it create fresh files.
If the error is gone after that, then the blue-screen most likely damaged the old profile file. Keep in mind this may reset some local settings or even campaign progress, which is why I’d definitely back up the folder first before changing anything.
If renaming just those files does not help, back up the folder and then try removing the entire settings folder so the game can rebuild it from scratch.
