Re: TITANFALL 2 STORY/SETTINGS NOT SAVING

Hi @Norgyyyy 

Thanks for the update!

Is the game installed on your C drive or an additional drive? If so, does windows have full read/write permissions?

    The game is definitely installed in my C drive as i have no other memory disk on my pc and i partially undestand what you mean with windows having full read/write permissions. I have recently installed windows 11 on my pc if i need to turn something off or on for it to work i'd gladly follow your instructions.

    Hi @Norgyyyy To check the file path should be similar to: 

    C:\Program Files\EA Games

    C:\Users\[Your account]\Documents\Respawn\Titanfall2

    You can right-click,  "EA Game" > "Properties" and "Titanfall2" >"Properties" 

    - Make sure "Read Only" is unchecked

    - Under the Security tab, your account on the PC has Full control

    - Verify any Anti-virus is not quarantining files 

    If you had to change any if those, verify the game once more and relaunch to see if settings will save after. 

    Thanks!

    Hello again, so i looked on the titanfall 2 properties and my account has full control and the read only is unchecked the the only this i can see wrong tho is that there is not file called respawn in my documents C:drive in this account + i cant find any file on program files called EA Games as well.I did copy the titanfall's file and placed it in the documents file and still nothing saved.

    HI @Norgyyyy Thanks for the update, 

    To confirm can we try the following if you have not?

    If Titanfall continues not to save, would it be possible to test this on a new user or admin account?

    Hello, again 

    So i did repair and verify on both the steam app and the EA so its not something from there. Next i did run the system file checker tool from the steps and it didn't find anything, i also updated my drivers and windows to the latest updates. Furthermore, i installed and repaired the VC++ files of the game from the guide and then i also did a clean reboot and only opened the game with steam background and EA background apps and still nothing was saving when i relaunched the game with different settings. I also added my brothers steam and EA account on this pc and it still didn't save on his account either. I also disabled firewall just in case the anti virus was blocking the saving progress but to no avail.  In a few hours i'm going to try to see if the settings will save on my brothers pc while we are running my steam account and EA. This is really strange as no other steam game i have on my library has the same problem, or any other game i have installed in that matter.

    Hi @Norgyyyy To check can you manually create a "Respawn" folder at %USERPROFILE%\Documents and check if this continues?

    Hi @Norgyyyy, Apologies to confirm is your 2nd screenshot of your documents folder?

    In order to create one, you just want to go to Documents, create a new folder titled "Respawn", then boot the game and check if you can make changes to settings and play a bit of story to see if it saves.

    You can verify, after launching TF2 and going to that Respawn folder and checking if you have one created for Titanfall2.

    Also to confirm did you have this issue on your brothers PC?

    Hello there Norgy here once more i created the folder and a changed the settings also played the first chapter of the campaign and sadly it still resets....Now for the question about my brothers pc he is not currently at his pc so i will inform you in 1-2 days if we have any differences with the game folders! above and below you can see what the last 2 folders have inside the one with the name local and the other profile!

  • Hello so here is the deal I Installed Titanfall 2 on my new desktop and everything was fine at first nothing crashed everything in multiplayer is fine i lost nothing there but when i went to the campaign and it all went as well i thought but then i turned off my Desktop and when i woke up and opened Titanfall 2 i couldn't open my save file and i couldn't use any checkpoints so i tried reinstalling the game but that didn't work so i tried looking online for help i was told to move it (By "it" i mean the "Documents" folder) to ether drive E: or S: but i don't have them for some reason (or any other ones i only had C: i guess they didn't come installed in my Desktop) and i was also told to check my block history but nothing so i am stuck and now i don't know what to do.






    (Side note: on my other Desktop it work fine it saved my game and checkpoints worked well)
