Community Admin@julianliu0755 Hi, manually creating a folder won't help, the game should be creating the folder when you play.
If a folder is absent the game should create a fresh one from a default template when none is found. This would be created at C:\Users\*Username*\Documents.
If you check this documents folder it should have settings files for some of your games, are any of these present?
Thank you for trying the repair, it seems to be ineffective in helping with this issue.
One thing that might be worth trying is to restart with a Clean Boot and temporarilty disable your anti-virus. This is to check if any 3rd party program or security software is preventing the game from writing to the C drive: https://support.microsoft.com/en-ie/kb/929135
Another step would be to try creating a new Windows profile. You can then play the game, and see if the Battlefield 1 folder gets created.

Yo man, are EA going to find a patch for this because its really annoying and a lot of people are having the same issue.
Yeah this is definitely a big bug. Please patch asap!
The game is very frustrating when it constantly re-sets as the original poster put it.
This is my situation if it helps narrow it down;
AMD 6300FX with GTX 950 8GB RAM running WIndows 10 Build 1511 (latest)
Administrator account. All permissions allowed full modify.
Solid State Drive (is C:/) Origin is installed here. As well as OS and Majority of apps. Game saves are on cloud setting of Origin.
I checked C/User/XXXX/Documents and there is nothing labeled Origin or Battlefield anywhere. I have other games (From Steam) access this hard drive and write to it no problem.
Hard Drive (is D:/) Game is installed here. All 47 GB of it.
I have this very similar setup working for my Steam (Steam is on C: but Games are on D🙂 so I know its not a problem on my end.
Please advise what to do in the meantime or if you need further information
i dont understand what this bug is even doing its stupid. EA should just fix it and bring the patch out or something. i am on the same kinda setup as you and i still get it.
i'm in the same boat as these guys.the document folder has got folders for bf2 bf3 bf4 and others. no document folder to be found any where else.tried all the other options mentioned on the forums.
Still having issue. Way past refund window so now im stuck playing a broken game.... with no support. Cmon ea.
I saw in another forum somebody had to copy the Setting folder over to the correct location using a friends functioning copy.
I will try that and let you guys know if it works
Log into EA and get in touch with their customer support. This needs to be fixed and highlighted to the devs
