Keep getting kicked from BF4 Beta
First joined the beta at time of release and setup my Graphics settings and was changing controls and got kicked for "idling too long", now everytime I join I get kicked from the server...

** TEMPORARY SOLUTION: **
The game has a settings file leak, where it gets slower and slower every time you make a change to any jet keybindings in settings.
To reset it delete the PROFSAVE_profile file in your My Documents/Battleifeld 4/settings directory and start over.
You'll have to rebind all keys again, which also count towards your max # of settings changes.
This is an issue with both jet and helicopter bindings
THIS IS A MAJOR BUG WHICH EA HAS YET TO ACKNOWLEDGE
For those who are PC savvy, here is a regex to find/remove all of the invalid entries in the PROFSAVE_profile file
^GstKeyBinding\.[a-z]+\.Concept.*\.(([4-9][0-9]*)|([0-9][0-9]+))\.[a-z]+ [0-9]+$
My PROFSAVE_profile file had over 327,000 invalid entries in it
So, if you know how to do regex search/replaces, you can bind as many keys as you can until the game crashes, then do a search/remove using the string above, then continue binding your remaining controls. If it locks up again, rinse and repeat until your bindings are all set. I only had to do it once, but YMMV.
I haven't had sufficient time to test this out, but you were probably right. Something was at least wrong. My profile had grown to 32 MB. After removing the bad lines with your regex it dropped to 750 KB. My game actually loads a lot faster now. Hasn't crashed yet, but I haven't tested for very long.
Thanks!
