Well, I won't be hearing from one of them until August...

Out of office reply.

I am back 2005-08-14.

Well, I agree with HoodooGuru. There must be a way to enable widescreen support in this game. But I'm afraid that I'm through trying for the time being. I just hope that DICE responds to HoodooGuru with some helpful news.

So people won't duplicate my efforts, here's what I tried without success:

+fov 106
+fovx 106
+fov 1 +fov 106
+fov 0 +fov 106
+fov 1 +fovx 106
+overridefov 106
+fov set_OVERRIDEFOV=106
+w +fov 106
+r +fov 106

Plus several more variations that I've forgotten. Anyway, maybe someone else will have better luck. I just don't think I can stand to wait while the single player game loads one more time. 8)

Thanks for trying, Doc! I'll keep digging, as BF2 is that kind of game that will keep me engrossed for the next 3-5 years!

WE NEED WIDESCREEN SUPPORT FOR IT!!!

X-Ray,

You've tried +fullscreen and +widescreen, right? Is there an option for
Code:
+windowed

or something like that? Setting the window size to fill the whole screen will hide the window edges...

Yes, all of the variations I tried above also included +menu 1 +fullscreen 1. Those two items were present with the default shortcut so I left them alone. I didn't try changing fullscreen 1 to widescreen 1 however. Anyone what to give that a go?

That's not quite what I meant.

Is there a windowing option? If so, try to set a window the size of the panel. It's worked with a few other games...

Yes, +fullscreen 0 is a windowed mode. That's how most of the people found the initial error about the res side being all freaky.

Right. So what does...
Code:
+fullscreen 0 +szx 1680 +szy 1050

...do? A 1680x1050 window that fills the screen? (Obviously only if that is the res of the panel...)

Does it still chop the top and bottom off?

Well, more good ideas, but unfortunately they still don't work. I tried:

1. +fullscreen 0 +szx 1280 +szy 720
2. +fullscreen 0 +fov 106 +szx 1280 +szy 720

Both of these lines gave me a slightly off centered window, but definitely no increase in the FOV. The top and bottom also remained cut off. :cry:

Bad news directly from the developer:

Hi,

The game only supports 4:3, so you can only render to file in other aspect ratios. Sorry.

You WILL NOT get BF2 in widescreen gameplay until DICE actually codes this into a future patch.
