    @Percycube If it is not taking and if what @iluminatethesky suggested does not fix it then I would look at your config in my documents as it could be mucked up as well as do this for settings in origin.....


    Disable Origin in game:
    In Origin - Application settings - Origin in Game - disable Origin in game

    Origin Cloud Storage turn it off
    Origin, settings, General


    Reboot PC test BFV


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

    BFV folder in my documents holds game configs and screen shots even if BFV is installed on different drive. When you uninstall BFV it does NOT remove this folder. So when you install the game again you can still have the same issues. Even if its not a new install it is still worth trying as the game cfg could be mucked up.

    1- Go to my Documents and remove BFV folder place it on your Desktop for now.
    2- Be warned you do have to set up your in game settings again.
    3-Repair BFV
    4- When done go test your game. If it fails reboot your PC and run repair game again and test BFV.

    Hey @Percycube,

    When you choose the Fullscreen option, make sure you click "Apply Video Settings" at the bottom of the screen.

    Once you've done that, it should ask you if you want to save those Settings, and click Yes.

    Hope this helps 🙂

    Hey @Percycube,

    When you select Fullscreen and save your video settings, try hitting ALT + Enter and see if this fixes things.

    Let us know.

    Thanks 🙂

    Also disable Discord overlay and if you use Teamviewer, close it completely.
