    Glad to hear it worked out 🙂

    Also, for the rest of you, OneDrive is known to interfere with files in the documents folder, so you might want to try to make a second local Windows account as a troubleshooting step.

    *UPDATE* 8/10*

    Adding this info:

    This could happen to players that upload all their data to the Microsoft OneDrive and then delete everything in the local document folder. Windows would replace the local document folder with a shortcut to the OneDrive document.

    EDIT: This is a workaround, it treats the symptom but not the cause of the error. I suggest trying the other things I proposed as solutions in the thread first.

    Oh, I almost forgot, in the beta there was also reported the following workaround:

    Once you go exit the game after having set your settings, try going to:

    Documents\Battlefield V\settings

    and if it's there delete the:

    "_tmp" part

    of the

    "PROFSAVE_tmp" file.

    This might also do it.

    If this is your issue then this would have to be repeated every time you change settings.

    Glad it worked out 🙂 Which one worked for you?

  • Is there a way you could show a video or even show me how to do it on discord please? I just don't understand what all I'm supposed to be clicking on.

    As I mentioned, the _tmp file thing is a WORKAROUND, it does not solve the issue that causes the issue. I have actual possible solutions in this thread too.

    If there are no files at all in the folder that means that there is a program or antivirus stopping BFV from saving.

    If you have any issues with Battlefield V please make a new topic about the issues you are having and what kind of steps you have tried to solve them.

    I'm closing this thread to stop it from being necroed.
