[PC] Settings/Key Bindings not saving

Whenever I close and relaunch the game, it appears that nothing is saved.  Rather, all my unlocks are still there, but every time I open the game, it says all of my items are new, it prompts me to do the tutorial, and the tutorials for customization, challenges, and star cards pop up the first time I start a match.

I'd disable these tutorials, but all of my settings, including my key bindings reset every time I launch the game.  I've tried running the game in Administrator mode, but it still does not save.

    This is how I fixed it and hopefully it fixes yours(BTW make sure your Battlefront is off while doing this). So basically you go to C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Documents\STAR WARS Battlefront\settings, then delete the folders. Don't worry about losing them then when you start up your battlefront it should restore the files and save your settings.

  • Thanks for the reply, but what if you don't have any folders that seem to hint to anything Star Wars, Lucarts or EA in "C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Documents\"? Any ideas? And yes, I ticked the box to show hidden files & folders 🙂

    You need to change YOURUSERNAME to your actual username. Also, if there's no Battlefront settings folder you might want to run Origin and Battlefront as administrator.

  • I had this problem with the SWBF Stress Test game and also Battlefield 4. It turned out that the new Windows 10 64 bit O/S was failing. After working with Microsoft support and their inability to fix my problem, I was forced to blow-up the O/S and start again. ikr. The telltale sign of O/S failure, try to change permissions to a folder in your documents to: Read - Write. If it will not allow the change from read only to read-write, you may have what I had. Microsoft is very hush-hush with this issue, but they're aware of the problem. 

  • Yeah, I knew that about the username. Gonna try the administrator thing, though. Thanks.

    similar but different issue - link to forum post here - http://starwars.ea.com/starwars/battlefront/forums/discussion/14715/ujhk-key-bindings%23latest

    the movement keys essentially cannot be remapped without interfering with the chat keys. the problem is that the global chat keys are not remapped, only chat keys during gameplay. after every death/respawn i am having to press escape to exit out of the chat box that was inadvertently opened.

    would really love to have someone acknowledge this and offer solutions or advice.
