Settings not saving - Help
I've looked all over the web and no solutions have helped.

I max out my settings in-game. Scroll to save. Save. Play a game. Save again. Exit. Return. Everything is back to default.

I've also tried manually edting the grapchics config file and saving that as well. That also does not work. It resets back to default automatically.

Please help guys!

Thanks!

I have the same problem, I can't get the game to save my 2560x1440 144hz settings :\.

So. I figured out that if you max out the settings and choose any other Hz than 144 it works. I think the next best Hz is 120. try that and see if it works. Worked for me.

That it not too surprising. 144Hz screens were not a thing back when this was made. EA titles are rarely "forward" compatible, on purpose, to push you to buy the next one in the series.

Another quirk, it will not let me run 1280x720 in fullscreen, despite that being a valid resolution for both my monitor and my TV. This game is full of wierd stuff like that when it comes to graphics settings.

worked for me tyvm! Looks perfect in 1440p Maxed out @120 Hz
144 Hz settings do not work and will not get saved.

For some reason using fullscreen in this game turns the contrast to ♥♥♥♥ and makes it seem like it's using limited output dynamic range but using windowed fixes it, an unrelated plus of this is now the game also uses full 240hz instead of being locked at 120hz (Despite the in-game settings saying 1080p60hz) and remembers the settings. (Leaving this comment in-case someone finds this helpful)

120 Hz worked well. Thanks!

Hi, so my laptop doesn't have support for 120hz but does have for 144hz, obviously 144 does not work so what should I do any fix to that or should i mess with software to get 120hz

Then you are basically SOL.
You'll need to run it windowed instead of fullscreen - the problem is around what *fullscreen* parameters the game accepts. In windowed mode you only have to fiddle with resolution and can forget about refresh.
My monitor supports both 144 and 120, no problems running this game in windowed mode.

edit: if you want to actually limit the FPS, there is built in support for that in the nvidia control panel or a common tool like MSI Afterburner (not exclusive to MSI hardware).
