Comprehensive In/Out-of-Game PC Settings Guide

[WhtFeather]

It is no where to be found. It had installed the directory in the past, but it is always empty.

@WhtFeather Are you not able to play at all? Or, if you're able to play, then do your settings always get reset?

Have you checked other drives?

[WhtFeather]

Yesterday I started Origin, It did a 2 hour update and repair of the files. I don't know if an update came out or what.

After that I tried to run the game, and ended at the same point of a partial black screen (image attached).

I have found the Battlefield 2042 folder in the c:/user/"username"/One drive/ documents/...

which is strange because I disabled and deleted one drive when I reloaded windows 10.

Now I am not quite sure what to do because the other games are working this way and the Battlefield 2042 has put dump files in the directory!~~

The play time is now up to three hours of this "black screen"

[SterlingARCH3R]

@WhtFeather That is strange. I don't know how it ends up in the One Drive folder. Have you tried completely uninstalling the game, and also deleting the entire BF2042 folder in the path you showed?

[WhtFeather]

I have deleted it all before, I am going to again, but I have to move the stuff from OneDrive first.  Anyone able to read dump files to see what they contain?

[SterlingARCH3R]

@WhtFeather If you no longer use OneDrive, then I'd make sure it's removed from the computer completely (e.g. via CCleaner). I'd make sure that it's no longer on your computer via Start > type "Programs" > Add or Remove Programs. If OneDrive still shows up there, then left click Microsoft OneDrive from the list of programs there, then select Uninstall there.

For the dump file, if someone can analyze it here, I'd either get the DMP file added/linked here, or there should be an online walkthrough of how to open a DMP file on your computer via the Command Prompt, which you can then post an image/text of here.

I have completely removed OneDrive, but windows keeps putting the folder back in. I may have to reinstall Win 10 again.

Opened the mdmp file, actually many of them and they all came up with the same error.

[SterlingARCH3R]

@WhtFeather Not sure you've figured out how to fix this since.

That error appears to show up when not being able to process files correctly, which I believe relates directly to the OneNote folder that keeps getting created.

Part of the troubleshooting involves one to "Reset your PC" and "Keep my files" (so as not to lose data). That may be something to consider.

@SterlingARCH3RThis is very good but there's another thing i think you should add to the guide with forcing the game to run at high priority via regedit.

"So this is how you're going to force any games to be set on high priority

1. Press WINDOWS KEY + R
2. Type in " RegEdit "
3.Navigate on to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options

Create a new Key:
"yourgame.exe"

Create another Key:
PerfOptions

Create a NEW DWORD (32 BIT):
CpuPriorityClass

Change the value from 0 to 3
MAKE SURE ITS HEXADECIMAL
"

Should look like this.

I made a .reg file so you can just install it directly without having to do all the admin work.

Download: https://www.mediafire.com/file/cu7qzfdp4v6uxs8/bf2042HighPriortyWindows.reg/file 

Just download the .reg and run it will install and make windows run bf2042.exe as High Priority all the time everytime.
