Re: BF4 not applying resolution correctly on Titan X SLI @ 4k

Fixed the last link.

Don't need higher framerate - I run 90-110 FPS on ultra with 4x MSAA.

I just need to figure out why my settings won't save properly and I have to delete the PROFSAVE file before running the game every single time. Desktop and game resolution are the same - 3840x2160 @ 60 Hz

Thank you :womanhappy: in nvidia control panel did you set everything up in the configure surround physX? If not set it up also do this......

Nvidia BF4 settings ....

First step open Nvidia Control panel under 3D settings go to Adjust image settings with preview

Pick use my preference and set it to performance and hit apply.

Next go to Manage 3D settings, Program settings tab and add BF4

Once BF4 is added in Program settings tab make sure all this is in place..ONLY DO SETTINGS IF YOU WANT BUT MAKE SURE THE ONE IN CAPS BELOW IS DONE

Ambient occlusion- not supported
Anisotropic filtering- use global settings off
Antialiasing - FXAA - not supported
Antialiasing- Gamma correction- use global settings on
Antialiasing-Mode - use global settings off
Antialiasing- setting - use global settings none
Antialiasing- Transparency - use global settings off
CUDA- GPU's - use global settings ALL
Maximum pre-rendered frames - Use the 3D application setting
Multi display /mixed GPU acceleration- set to what your display is ..... MAKE SURE THIS IS SET 
Power management mode- Prefer Maximum Performance
Shader Cache- use global settings on
Texture filtering - Anisotropic sample Opti.... - use global settings on
Texture filtering- Negative LOD bias - use global setting Allow
Texture filtering - Quality - use global setting Quality
Texture filtering - Trilinear optimization - use global settings on
Thread optimization - use global setting Auto
Triple buffering - use global settings off
Vetical Sync - use global settings off
Virtual Reality pre-rendered frames - use global settings 1

Just be sure PC screen resolution and in game resolution are all the same. 

Reboot PC and test bf4. 

Thanks for the suggestion; didn't fix things sadly ☹️

I'm half tempted to just stop worrying about it and just delete PROFSAVE after every game session and just reset my settings each time I start the game... kind of annoying but only takes 30 seconds or so.

I would suggest reinstalling battlefield 4 and reset the Documents folder with the BF4 Save files, this way it should reset to factory settings of BF4 (Game progress is unaffected due to built in Auto Cloud save system) If this doesn't work I am afraid you might need to wipe your PC clean and reinstall from scratch, this is quite common with PC upgrades since the system has the hardware saved etc. Hope this helps!

I did look this error up more and as stated above by Pro it is worth doing a clean install of BF4 but when un- install BF4 also delete the BF4 folder in my documents. As uninstalling the game does not remove this folder and you want everything clean and new if you go down this road.

After you un-install the game and delete the BF4 my document folder reboot PC. Then just to be sure it is all removed from the PC go download the free version of CC Cleaner and install it then use it to clean the registry as it will remove all old / dead files and this will ensure no fragment of BF4 are on your PC. Then reboot PC and run CC Cleaner again on the registery keep doing this until it finds nothing. Then install BF4.

C:\Users\your PC Name\Documents\Battlefield 4

BF4 folder in my documents holds game configs and screen shots even if BF4 is installed on different drive. When you uninstall BF4 it does NOT remove this folder.

Go download the free version of CC cleaner..

Install CC Cleaner

Now use it to clean the registry, reboot PC and check the registry one last time for any issues. If it finds any repeat steps until it finds none.


If you want steps to rule out windows doing this then I can give you steps as it can save you a format. But with everything you did and from the reading I did on this I do not think it is a windows issue.

OK well I suppose a fresh install of BF4 is next on the list.

I can confirm that it is not an issue with anything in Windows - just did a clean Windows install, problem still persists.

Also just noticed that resolution is irrelevant to this problem. No matter what I set the resolution to in-game, if I attempt to apply it in Fullscreen or Borderless window, the result is that first screen.

Something is making it act up at this point I don't think it is windows either but if this fails I will give you some command lines to run to rule out or fix windows. It will save you doing a format again as that's just pointless since you just did it and it fixed nothing.

Just when you uninstall the game don't forget to delete the BF4 folder in My Documents then reboot PC you know the drill, so you get a fully new / clean install of BF4.
