Widescreen Gaming Forum

Yeah, I've been looking at some of the ultrasharps. Which are on sale though? I don't see any from their website on sale, aside from a 27".

Hi guys,

I've been out of the PC hardware loop for a few years now. I'm looking to get a few widescreen monitor for a few different reasons. I need it for work, play, and movies. I'll likely be spending a lot on it because my school work (programming and writing) depends on it, and also my part ...

Ah ok, thanks

Isn't that BF2142? And whats TH2G?

I still can't believe we haven't gotten a fix. Do they really think that having a widescreen is a form of cheating? Or are they just lazy?

With my PC specs (see below) could I run everything on high?

Okay, added +szx 1080 +szy 720

Crashed :-/

I was having this same problem.

I solved it by making a copy of my shortcut to regular BF2. Then I added +modPath mods/xpack +ignoreAsserts 1 to the end after the lines for my custom resolution. It loads the custom res now instead of just crashing to desktop.

Okay, I'll try that, but to ...

okay, and are the spaces needed after the last number?

edit: tried and failed

Ok, I reinstalled and the game is working fine. I went to the target to add +szx 1920 +szy 1200 with one space after the 1200 part. I ran the game, it crashed to desktop. I took away the added part, and it worked fine again...What am I doing wrong?

I tried making a new shortcut, no luck :'(

Should I reinstall?

Yeah ... Battlefield 2 doesn't like a tinkering ... :(

Did you try that fix in the link I posted earlier ?

Not yet, I've been busy and now have to go run some errands. I'm gonna try it when I get back, thanks :D

Okay, this is weird. It works if I use the "Play" button on the splash screen when you insert the disc.

Okay, and how about your BF2 one? Do you need the BF2 one working for the SF one to work?

Thanks, mine says:

VideoSettings.setResolution 800x600@60Hz

So I'm pretty sure thats right

A few days ago I got BF2 to work, yesterday actually. Then I did something to Spec. Forces and now it wont work, why did I have to tinker :roll:

Running a 6600GT, stock.

Okay, noob question of the year...What program can I use to open the video.con?

Still goes boom. Where would I go to adjust the antialiasing you were talking about earlier?

I play WoW and used to play DAoC. Both were very good. The subscription price was worth it to me

[quote]uble check ... I'll then try it on mine if you like ... 8)

This is what i did

"C:GamezBattlefield 2BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 1440 +szy 900

Is that correct?

I am having the same problem you are. I tried using that path and it said that the path was not valid :-/

I did the path that you guys suggested, it still keeps crashing after the splash. I'll tinker with it a bit more

Hrm, no luck. Would a reinstall maybe fix?

My BF2:SF one looks like this:
"C:Program FilesEA GAMESBattlefield 2BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +modPath mods ...
