Battlefield 6 Settings Manager

Optimize your Battlefield 6 settings for competitive play

A standalone Windows application that automatically detects your monitor's HDR peak brightness and applies optimal game settings for competitive gameplay. No more digging through config files or dealing with settings the game doesn't expose!

Features

Auto HDR Configuration

• Automatic Brightness Detection: Reads your monitor's actual peak brightness (nits) from Windows EDID data
• Manual Override: Option to set custom brightness values if auto-detection isn't available
• Accurate HDR: Sets DisplayMappingHdr10PeakLuma to match your display's capabilities

Visual Clarity (Competitive)

Disable distracting visual effects for better enemy visibility:

• Weapon Depth of Field
• Chromatic Aberration
• Film Grain
• Vignette (edge darkening)
• Lens Distortion
• Motion Blur (Weapon & World)

Performance & Latency

Reduce input lag and improve responsiveness:

• Enable Low Latency Mode (NVIDIA/AMD/Intel GPU-specific)
• Disable Future Frame Rendering

Audio

• Disable Tinnitus Effect (annoying ringing sound)

Safety Features

• Process Detection: Prevents modification while game is running
• Automatic Backups: Creates timestamped backups before any changes
• Atomic Writes: Safe file operations that won't corrupt your config
• Read-Only Protection: Locks settings after apply to prevent game from reverting changes

   • Use "Select All" for a full competitive preset
   • Optionally override HDR brightness with a custom value

3. Apply Settings

Config File Location

The tool automatically searches for PROFSAVE_profile in:

C:\Users\{YourName}\Documents\Battlefield 6\settings\
  ├── steam\PROFSAVE_profile
  ├── ea\PROFSAVE_profile
  └── origin\PROFSAVE_profile

Only one file exists depending on your launcher, you can also specify your own location.

Troubleshooting

Config file not found

• Make sure you've launched Battlefield 6 at least once
• Check that the game created your profile in Documents\Battlefield 6\settings\

HDR brightness not detected

• Use the "Use custom brightness value" option
• Check your monitor's specifications for peak brightness (usually 400-1000 nits)
• Typical values: 400, 600, 1000 nits

Game is running error

• Close Battlefield 6 completely before applying settings
• Check Task Manager for bf6.exe or bf2042.exe processes

Settings reverted after game launch

• Make sure the "read-only" protection was applied successfully
• If needed, manually right-click the config file → Properties → Check "Read-only"

FAQ

Q: Will this get me banned? A: No. This tool only modifies your local config file, same as editing it manually. Many of these settings are used by competitive players.

Q: Can I undo changes? A: Yes! The tool creates timestamped backups (.backup_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS) before any modifications. You can restore from these backups.

Q: Why is the file set to read-only? A: Battlefield 6 sometimes reverts settings when you change graphics options in-game. Read-only protection prevents this.

Q: Do I need to re-apply after game updates? A: Usually no, but if the game resets your config, just run the tool again.

Q: What if my launcher isn't Steam/EA/Origin? A: The tool searches recursively in Documents\Battlefield 6\settings\ so it should find your config regardless of the launcher subfolder name.
