Any luck replacing the profile file?
Not sure if that's of any help, but it's also possible to launch the game with command-line arguments. If you check the game information in the Origin client, you can see "Game Properties" in blue next to the game cover (in the Details tab, under "Actions"). You can probably add any of the parameters from this profile file, should they fail to set properly otherwise. Check this link for an example (it's on the FPS settings, but from the look of it, that could be used for the display settings) :
