Guys I’m on latest nvidia driver, switch to auto wait 20 seconds then back to ultra. Fixed the downgraded look of bf1. It does work. Additionally, These steps can be taken to force the workaround > [@](#): > > 1- Open battlefield 1 in My Documents > 2- Open Settings folder > 3- Delete everything, EXCEPT PROFSAVE and PROSAVE\_backup, these files is your campaign gameplay and has nothing to do. > 4- Enter the game > 5- set the quality to ultra, or whatever you had before Additionally, Changing the settings to Auto prior to joining a server from the main menu, And then Joining a server with the settings on Auto and then changing to Ultra upon joining also can force the workaround. _update 23-11-2016_ > [@SavageBeastZero](#): > > I had previously believed the same and thought that this temporary solution simply didn’t work for me (after switching from Ultra/Auto/Ultra), until I decided to return my rendering resolution to the 100% default (instead of the 120% that I was using previously). I closed the game after making the adjustment and re-launched it. Once loaded, I returned my rendering resolution back to 120% and to my surprise, everything appeared exactly as it was prior to the fall update patch. _I have a feeling this might be the reason that this temporary solution might not be working for some people, because until I performed said actions, I saw no change and it still appeared “downgraded”._ > > So to anyone attempting this temporary solution and didn’t see the change, perform the actions I mentioned above and Battlefield 1 will likely return back to its original graphically impressive state, as it did for me. Good luck all. ---

If you would have looked at your PROFSAVE\_profile file before hand, you may have noticed the graphics settings didn’t match up to the in game settings post update. ---

Can’t wait to leave work and try this. If this whole thing was just a bug I will be blown away. Seems like Dice would have found it to be just that days ago. Hows the performance? ---

I think they did that on purpose in the last update hoping it would temporarily fix some of the issues. ---

Can’t remember if it was BF3 or 4 now, but I remember a patch screwing up all the video presets at one point. (i.e. Ultra was Low, High was Ultra, Medium was High, etc) Wouldn’t put it past them to screw it up again… ---
