cfg

My bf42 (including mods) has a very stupid and weird problem. I am unable to save my configuration and it is reset every round. If I change the name through console, next time I play it gets automatically changed back to "Albanian BALLIST". Same goes with other settings such as sensitivity. This issue exists since last october. If I format my PC everything will return to normal, but I want to avoid this. Is there any way to solve my problem? neutral

i tried changing config files manually but that didn't help (or i didn't change needed files/nodes).

thnx in advance

Re: cfg

Check if C:\Users\<your user name>\Documents\Battlefield 1942\ exists. If it does, delete it and check the game

It looks like you marked a cfg as read-only.
