    I had no problem getting BFME 2 to work on Windows 10 after all the fixes.  The issue I have now is that my saved games won't load.  Sucks when you play for hours and have nothing to show for it.  Does anyone else have this problem? Or a fix.....I found one online but it was unnecessarily long winded and never really got to the point of fixing the saved game crash.

    Is anyone going to answer my question? Is no one having a problem loading saved games?

    FYI your options.ini advice worked a treat.

    I simply changed the resolution to match my hardware [1920*1080] and Boom. Happy Dayz!! thanks Louis!!

    P.S. No need to copy an ini file. Create new txt doc, open it and paste the ini contents, save and close.

    Ensure 'Hide extensions for known file types' is un-checked in folder options (see below pic).

    RENAME 'NewTextDocument.txt' to 'options.ini' and your done.

    I also used this method for BFME (first one) and it worked fine using the same 'options.ini' from  BFME2
