Settings Reset every launch?

Since last week (writing on 05-11-2026), every time I launch the game, it's as if I booted up the game for the first time (all default settings, intro to the game and new season). Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

    That's a new one, have never heard of windows seeing a settings file as ransomware before

    Thanks for the tip! Made the check and everything was in order. Turns out it was a Windows Security thing.

    Fix "Unauthorized Changes Blocked" (Ransomware Protection):

    Go to Windows Security > Virus & threat protection.

    Click Manage Ransomware protection.

    Select Allow an app through Controlled folder access and add your game's .exe file.

    Hi it might be caused by the setting file being set to read only thus making all changes reset on restart

    To fix that go to

    C:\Users\your windows user name\Documents\Battlefield 6\settings\steam

    and then select all files right click and then click properties and make sure that the read only box is empty like this

    Hope this helps
