BF4 How to change video settings outside of game?

basically as the subject says, I want to change the video settings outside of game, as when I load, it just freezes, like fps drops to below 0, I have the minimum specs and even a bit higher than minimum but it still doesn't start, is there a way to change settings, if so, how?

  • 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.

    I HAVE FIGURED OUT HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM!!! IF YOU WANT TO PLAY ON ULTRA SETTINGS, BUT WITHOUT THE 24/7 CRASHING, GO INTO YOUR OPTIONS > VIDEO > CUSTOM > (EVERYTHING ON ULTRA, *EXCEPT* YOUR AMBIENT OCCLUSION ON HBAO > *** HERE IS THE CRASHING PART, YOUR ANTIALIASING DEFERRED HAS TO BE ON OFF!!!*** (IF YOU PUT IT ON 2x MSAA OR 4x MSAA IT WILL CHAIN CRASH THE GAME ONCE YOU APPLY THE SETTINGS!!! YOU'RE WELCOME 🙂

    P.S. YOUR ANTIALIASING POST > HIGH
