Re: [BFH] How can I disable V-Sync without opening the game?

Hi @L0ukaa yes, it is possible to disable it.

Go to:

My Documents>Battlefield Hardline>settings

When you are in there, open the file named PROFSAVE_profile preferably with Notepad ++.

Find GstRender.VSyncEnabled 1 and set it to 0.

Hope that will fix your problem! 🙂

    All I see there is meta.xml for some reason :/

    I will try to add it to my user.cfg file though.

    Sadly, this didn't work. I guess my problem has nothing to do with V-Sync at all.

    In this case, I'm wondering why I keep crashing while loading.

    Gave you XP for helping me though.

    I use Avast.

    I also added the game to exceptions (if that matters at all I guess).

  • Hi @L0ukaa

    unfortunatelly its not matters. Avast and AVG is bocking Hardline in default. Please uninstall Avast and use other antivirus, like Panda for example. Do not use AVG, its blocking the game too.

    Before you install the new Antivirus (when Windows defender is in charge), check the Windows firewall settings. Make sure that BFH, PnkBstrA and PnkBstrB (the last 2 are the anti-cheat software) is allowed in public and private network too.

    Uhh, would disabling it before playing still do? I'd rather not switch over to another AV just because of a game, I've used Avast for a few years and I rarely had any problem with it.

  • Hi @L0ukaa

    Unfortunatelly disabling is not enough, because AVG and Avast is blacklisting BFH.exe in default. You must to use other antivirus or you can not play the game.

    It's pretty sad how I can't get a refund since I bought a CD Key.

    And it was twice the current sale price. I think I can just uninstall Avast and reinstall after I finish playing?
