Issues fixed

Graphics settings are lost each time when starting game

You need to copy your graphics settings from <path-to-game>\main\configs\unnamedsoldier.cfg to <path-to-game>\main\newconfig.cfg
Or you can use Max quality graphics settings. Once you have the settings you want in a text editor, save that file as <path-to-game>\main\configs\unnamedsoldier.cfg and set the file to be read only.

Can't turn mouse more than 180° (or doesn't work properly)

Put this line into config file. seta in_mouse -1

Game crashes during EA logo (Origin version)

If the game crashes at startup using the Origin version, you have to disable "Origin In Game".
You can do it in the Game properties (but the expantions will still crash at startup).
If you want to play the expansions you'll need to disable "Origin in-game" in the Origin's "Application settings"!
