The settings file is located in:
C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Battlefield 4\settings
locate the file:
PROFSAVE_profile
Open that file in a texteditor like wordpad or the like.
So, I got into game, running around with a nice frame rate.
Bumped settings up to ultra. still ran. didn't really look ultra though...
Closed the game.
Opened the game.
DirectX error.
I think it's because it's trying to load DX11 stuff.
My card is DX10, GTX260.
Reeeeally need some way to change the settings from outside the game.
I looked up that file someone mentioned earlier but it was too much of a mess for me to work out.
Whups! Opened the wrong file.
I'll report back after tweaking.
Update:
Rather than tweak it, I deleted the file. BF4 made a new one with all the default.
So, for you guys, I set everything to Low or Off and quit out.
Here's those settings for you.
NOTE!!!!!!!
Change the resolution(ResolutionHeight, ResolutionWidth) and refresh rate(FullscreenRefreshRate) to what matches your monitor!!!
