Hello. I've been lurking at these forums for a while, and just wanted to say thanks to everyone for helping me get BF2 up and running on my widescreen. Now though, I have a problem myself.


I have a Gateway FPD2185W. Its native res is 1680x1050. Awesome screen, but I"m having some issues with BF2.

I set my target line for BF2 shortcut to:

"D:EA GAMESBattlefield 2BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 1680 +szy 1050

And everything works, but I"m getting some performance issues.

AMD 64 3200
1 gig of ram
6800 GT


Upgrade your CPU
For best possibly gameplay without any lagging, 2gb ram is recommanded when cranking up the resolution,AA,AF
your graphics card is ok...but kinda old...

Hi All...a noob at posting here. BUT, I just got a Gateway FPD2185W widescreen display and want to know the 'definitive' solution to running BF2 in widescreen format. I've read a ton of posts here and it is very confusing which "patch" or hack or whatever works. Is this>>> Set target line for BF2 shortcut to: "D:EA GAMESBattlefield 2BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 1680 +szy 1050 >>>> all that needs to be done?

if not, can someone plz explain, in one single comprehensive post, what needs to be done to "Patch" BF2 for all of our widescreen pleasure?.

Thanx!!! :D

What difference does the +widescreen option make?. Isn't +szx 1680 +szy 1050 enough?

It makes no difference

Isn't +szx 1680 +szy 1050 enough?

holy shit!

Adn still no proper fix.

I think some Dice devs need a kick in the teeth for 2142.
(and BF2 of course)

Dice is a crappy dev who produces crappy buggy games. Then, they take the stuff that works and ruin it for everyone because a minority within their game cry about how bad they get owned by good players.

Death to Dice and EA.

So... still no fix? The one above doesn't work with the 1.41 patch, sadly.

-xav.

I first added the size tags to the shortcut I use, as others have discussed, as follows:
Code:

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

However, the game would exit almost immediately. I then discovered that you you have to edit TWO video.con files:
Code:

       C:Documents and SettingsRoyMy DocumentsBattlefield 2ProfilesDefaultVideo.con
   
       and
   
       C:Documents and SettingsRoyMy DocumentsBattlefield 2Profiles001Video.con
   

Edit each file and comment out the resolution line, as follows:
Code:

       rem VideoSettings.setResolution 1280x1024@85Hz
   

When I just edited DefaultVideo.con, the game would launch OK, the video would come up, then the login screen, but once I logged in, it would exit. This made me curious, so I looked around and found Profiles001Video.con file. Aha - makes sense. It uses default until you login then switches to your user specific settings. Makes sense... just frustrating that I have to learn this...

Enjoy,
Roy
