Re: Can't change video settings in BF1

Sounds to me like your Windows user / the games might not be allowed to write to PROFSAVE_profile file in the BF1 file in documents. Try making sure the bf1.exe and Origin.exe start as administrator.

I did that, but still nothing worked. I can go inside of the actual PROFSAVE_profile file and manually set stuff, but I can only really set the FOV and whether or not it goes to full screen.

Try after a clean boot:

Might be some security software or the like blocking the game.
