MSIC, you can always delete your last post in a thread as long as noone posts after you like I did now. If you want to delete your post just press the X to the right of your post. :wink:


Will do, but i thought i'd leave it for other people to see in case they faced a similar problem.

I was just wondering if there's anyone here who is running a res of 1680x1050 or higher with the highest settings and still gets >50 FPS? . . .

I am currently using 1680x1050 with all the in-game settings turned up to maximum. But if I set AA and AT to anything above 2x then I get 30-40 FPS for most of the game. :shock: (That's with the system in my signature.)

I'll be adding a second 7800GTX in SLI but I still don't think I'll be able to run 8xS AA and 16x AT with 1680x1050 and get decent FPS. . . . Is this sort of an unreachable goal? :(

Oh yes, and one more thing . . . has anyone tried this tweak mentioned by Jodiuh . . .

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but this page suggests using +widescreen for proper FOV. Any takers? I can't install BF2 til tomorrow.

If I understand them correctly, they're saying to use

". . . +widescreen . . ." instead of ". . . +fullscreen . . ." and this supposedly fixes the FOV that everyone has been troubled by.

+widescreen doesn't fix the FOV as far as I know ... but why not try it yourself ? ... :? :wink:

Honestly, I wasn't sure how exactly to compare the results before and after using the tweak since you have to restart the game. Do you just use single player mode and then try to reorient yourself in the exact same position each time to see if the display is cut off? (Or maybe use mult-player and find some deserted part of the map?)

By the way, for some reason single player mode always causes the game to crash for me. :(

I don't have it installed at the moment to try it ... but you have the right idea ...

What I would do to get the comparison screenshots (multiplayer or not) would be to go inside a building and stand tight into a corner of a room then I align my crosshair up on to a distinguishable point in front somewhere ... may be where a vertical and a horizontal cross.

Take a screenshot ...

Then ... this time with the +widescreen ... I'd go to exactly the same room and line up the crosshair with the same point as before.

Compare the screenshots ... 8) ... let us know if things are fixed ... may be even post the screenshots so everyone can see what is going on ... :wink:

Cheers ...

Ok, I tried it. It doesn't seem to work. Here are my screenshots. (There's some slight differences like I forgot to use the same kit and one screen has some text, but you can still easily compare the borders.)

Here they are . . .

Using +fullscreen


Using +widescreen


And just for completion, here's the same shot with no widescreen tweak. Just 1280x1024 selected in the game.


But the fact that the game even started up with +widescreen is surprising, itsn't it?

I need help!

I have a Westinghouse 32w1 screen and a evga 7800GT. I did the shortcut mod and this is what my BF2 target reads:

"C:Program FilesEA GAMESBattlefield 2BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 1680 +szy 1050

When i try to start the game, it crashes back to the desktop right after the splash screen. The game is patched with the newest 1.22 patch.
