so yeah i assume many others have had this problem as well... so im hoping we can get some info on how to fix this. i have this problem -ALMOST- everytime i start the game up.. it resets everything to default settings( all classes/options, ect. will be reset ) and all campaign progress WILL be lost, but multiplayer unlocks/stats will not be lost. Ive looked up a little bit on other posts about the same issue and it seems this happens after installing the multiplayer CD to your Xbox (i dont have the campaign cd installed). some people say deleting your profile data saved on your xbox will fix this(maybe it will for you) Im just bringing this to attention for any others who have not yet encountered this problem and for anyone with a solution is encouraged to reply here. thanks.
Delete your bf3 data. And clear cache. Installing the disk shouldnt be an issue but try that and see if it helps. All your MP is saved server side so it is
s safe.

As far as Ive read (and this happened to me) the profile corruption happens when you have played the SP and you switch off your xbox, without quiting the game to the dashboard first. You have to delete your BF3 profile Data and this includes your save game. All of your Achievements and Multiplayer Stats / Unlocks are all stored server side so these arent affected. The only way to avoid this corruption is by backing up your save game to a USB.
deleting profile data seems to have worked :)
I just had this happen, and I remember the same thing happening to me on BFBC2. Kinda crappy you have to delete saved campaign progress.
wait if u delete your profile data don't you lose the guns you unlocked in multiplayer?
disregard my last comment haha
The stats are not stored within your profile data on your hard drive but at EA's servers instead. That way, EA/DICE can prevent people from modding their stats and easier integration with BattleLog and other stat tracking websites.
thanks...anyone want to add me i have like no friends that play battlefield 3
Sorry to sound like a complete mong, but is it OK to delete the Data file, without having had Cloud saves enabled ?, I'm trying to sort this out for someone else, and they didn't have Cloud enabled yet.
oh btw anyone know if this will affect the back to karckand code i put in already?
i cant find it in my storage either im scared it got deleted :(((
RIC the TONG: Sorry to sound like a complete mong, but is it OK to delete the Data file, without having had Cloud saves enabled ?, I'm trying to sort this out for someone else, and they didn't have Cloud enabled yet.
I would assume it's okay since the game would generates a new profile data file if it does not exist. All he would be losing is the campaign saves. Stats are stored in EA's servers.Also, the B2K code is tied to your EA/Origin account. So as long as you remember your EA/Origin account, you should be fine.
Had the same problem, Deleting the Saved Data worked.
How do you delete the saved data
Happens to me to and it sucks!
Happened to me, didn't have the game installed on my hard drive.
I'm with SR. How?
you have to go into your storage device and delete the BF3 save data.

this happened to my friend and i'm glad i found this.
thanks people for solving this.
bring back the old forums THESE SUCK.
To delete the saved game data; go to 'system' in the settings tab and get into the 'storage' folder and then select 'All Devices' (or the device you have the BF3 saved game data on). go to 'games and apps', then select 'Battlefield 3' go down to 'PROFILE SAVE DATA' and select 'delete'. restart the game and it should of deleted the problem, along with your saved campaign progress(oh well, thats all it will delete). GOOD LUCK!
Just happened to me...so deleting your profile date solves the problem? ( I don't care about the campaign because it was beyond terrible)
Yes. delete ur profile data. all info is already posted in above comments.
Yip had the same issue....deleting the save data seemed to work....Thanks for info..
it did not work for me are there any other ways to do it
Oh great...Gonna lose my campaign progress D:
same thing happened to me tonight, just had to reset my MP settings, I'm not worried about the campaign.
What do I have to delete because this has happened three days in a row?
I have HD content
Title Update
Update
Online Pass
Physical Warfare Pack
And
Save Data
.
Previously I only deleted the save date. Do I have to clear the cache as well?
So i deleted the saved game data and it didnt work...tried 3 times and it never worked.....what now?
Clear the cache after re-deleting the save profile. Worked for me.
I done all of that and it still doesn't work
Has happened to me 3 times, I am so sick of playing the first levels of the campaign and about to give up on this game. It's a problem that needs to be rectified. Not what you would expect from such an established franchise, never happened in any other game I have...
Awesome thanks forthe info
I just deleted all the BF3 data i had, gave the game to my little bro who lives like 30 min away, poped in Skyrim, and Mass Effect. and all the issues are gone. Strange eh?
The reset bull crap has happened to me and I've never played the campaign...
I have literally tried everything, Deleting my Single player saved progress, deleting my saved game data and even my system cache but nothing seems to fix this problem. I am left clueless and frustrated. Can anyone suggest something else I can do do fix this problem.
looks like it has worked for now! Thanks
i think you need to make sure you go back to the main menu let it save ( a auto save icon pops up for a few seconds) then you can turn off or go back to dash. i wouldent just quit to dash in middle of a game or shut down.

This is the second time this has happened to me.
Yes, Thank you it worked :)
