Re: BF4 How to change video settings outside of game?

Thank you Carbonic, I shall go try it right away! I'll accept if it helps me, if not, I will reply once again!

Whatever I try it keeps on being the same.. can anyone post numbers for lowest setting? I can't do it without knowing what I need to type and where

Just to make sure. You have downloaded the latest betadrivers from AMD/Nvidia that has just come out right?

Yeah I did

On which topic, and that way put the resolutions? thank you

Carbonic im having this problem right know.

what do i do after i open it in a wordpad ? 

please answear me.

You ROCK!!  I was able to correct an issue where the game was launching in a window but wasnt visible, and when you tried to fullscreen it with ALT-ENTER it locked up, Cheers mate.. 

Hey guys,

I think I got the same problem like you. Everytime I clicked on "video Settings" the game crashed and it said :"APPCRASH bf4.exe".  I couldn ´t change the videosettings ingame and even reinstall bf 4, graphic drivers or any other **bleep** you could just imagine didn ´t help. Anyway I found a solution for my problem. 

Open the "PROFSAVE_profil" file with texteditor in  /documents/Battlefield4/settings.

After this delete all the stuff inside this and click "save" 

If you now start the game, it sets the values new and after this i could change my videosettings ingame again. 

So if anybody else got this problem that his game crashes if he selects "video settings". This might help.

Open that file in a texteditor like wordpad or the like.

I had this same issue after setting it to ultra and it died on me.  I changed the

GstRender.OverallGraphicsQuality 4

to

GstRender.OverallGraphicsQuality 0

0 = Auto

1 = Low

2 = Medium

3 = High

4 = Ultra

I was then able to start the game and tweak it.
