Hi all, I’ll make this quick. Every time I join a new match or launch the game, none of my settings are saved.
In Documents → Battlefield 6 → Settings → Steam, I only have a file called Steam_autocloud.vdf.
Am I supposed to have a PROFSAVE_profile file there too?
Just to mention, I already uninstalled the game twice to check, but nothing changed.
Oh god that was this fu****** windows security ! many thanks dude !
"Ye same for me. The BF6 folder in documents doesn't even exist. I have tried so many things but nothing works."
Same here, dont know what to do tbh
Its really annoying
I am having the same issue and im really annoyed at this. I've tried just about everything: re-installed game, admin rights, added exclusions in windows security etc. The files 'profsave' and the other ones don't appear in my pc, only for the game battlefield 2042. Any further help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi guys. I posted this to Reddit too but wanted to put it here for more visibility. Hopefully it's ok!
I'm going to leave this here because I've tried this method and it didn't work for me - https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield/comments/1o3yqjz/fixed_battlefield_6_settings_save_files_windows/
What did work for me I have listed below so hopefully it helps someone.
Basically the folder at C:\Users\<YourName>\Documents\Battlefield 6\settings wasn't being created as expected....or so I thought.
I did some checking around my PC and noticed the profile being created in C:\Users\<YourName>\OneDrive.old
So I tried to move the folder to another drive, re-launched the game and found the folder I moved still being used by bf6.exe. So I tried deleting the folder and found the folder being re-created on launch of the game.
So I knew OneDrive is something I binned a long time ago and at the time I made some changes the Documents, Pictures folders etc. to make the locations save locally rather than OneDrive.
This is what solved this problem for me. Bear in mind you need to access the registry to fix it:
You might notice other regsitry entries here using a similar path. These could be changed to fix them too if you wanted e.g. %USERPROFILE%\Pictures
I launched BF6 after signing out (or rebooting) the PC. The profile is now working in the intended Documents folder.
Hopefully this helps someone else with the same issue!
Recently updated from windows 10 to 11 had my issue solved when i made a new test account and my config/settings files were instantly populated. Take a look at this registry key in case your Documents folder is not being pointed to correctly -> HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders— Personal
i cant even find "settings" anywhere inside the battlefield folder
I don’t have any of these files and not sure how to get them.
Check if GeForce is auto optimizing your game!
This did it for me! Thanks a lot!
In my case, it wasn't related with OneDrive, but it was related to a bad address in this registry key (A different drive letter), once I fixed it it worked.
I can finally play now.
