Does anyone know howto get this game working in widescreen? I seem to remember reading somewhere that the xBox version has WS support, so why cant i get it working on the PC? :(

I will be getting it this afternoon, so I will let you know.

I found the vidmod.ini file and when I open it I see all my resolutions with 0 and 1's next to them. I assume those are on/off switches but have no idea what they are changing.

Any ideas?

Anyone??

Nothing yet. I could not find an ini or cfg file to edit. I know that the X-box version is widescreen compatible, so I cannot figure out why a PC version would not offer this also.

keep in mind that i made a couple of adjustmeents (blindly - no idea what i did) to the 848 x 480 rez. i play the game at 1280 x 960 - takes up my whole 16:9 screen (htpc - mits46805 hdtv) but text is too small for me. (still play though - eh game)

My Vidmodeini does not look the same:

I can not see any correlation between any of the resolutions and what resolutions I am allowed to pick in game though.

I believe from the reviews it sounds like the PC version does not support split screen either. In this case, yet another reason it sounds like I will play Battlefield: 1942 on the PC, and get the Xbox version of Battlefront.

pbuscher · Post by **pbuscher** » 30 Sep 2004, 20:53

nobody has a solution yet? :(

penguinchris · Post by **penguinchris** » 05 Oct 2004, 14:00

On my 16:10 laptop, Battlefront lists several widescreen resolutions in the video options, and they work, except they cut off the top and bottom of the screen, including the button to spawn and various things in the HUD when you're in-game. Are you guys not seeing the widescreen resolutions in the options at all?

badgerb0b · Post by **badgerb0b** » 05 Oct 2004, 17:27

I only see 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768 as resolution options. I sure would like to see 1280 x 720 so I could play on my widescreen TV.

pbuscher · Post by **pbuscher** » 05 Oct 2004, 18:17

I see only 800 x 600, 1024 x 768, and 1152x864.

No 1440x900. :(

Post by **Paradigm Shifter** » 05 Oct 2004, 19:36

What graphics chip (ATi/nVidia etc) is everyone using? And what driver version. Maybe it's manufacturer specific...

I've not got the game, so I'm afraid I can't be much help other than suggest the usual solutions. ;)

pbuscher · Post by **pbuscher** » 05 Oct 2004, 21:41

ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 using Omega Drivers 2.5.76. I'm about to try the newer 2.5.90 soon.

Post by **Paradigm Shifter** » 05 Oct 2004, 22:03

Thanks. :)

Anyone have it working in widescreen using that card, or nVidia hardware instead?

pbuscher · Post by **pbuscher** » 05 Oct 2004, 22:27

I just updated my BIOS to the newest (1.0.10) and installed the Omega Drivers 2.5.90 and I still CANT do 1440x900

BTW, I'm using a Sager 8790.

lotrfan · Post by **lotrfan** » 08 Oct 2004, 00:08

I'm using an ATI All-in-Wonder 9800 on a 2003 model Mitsubishi 65'' widescreen TV. So, because the TV does not have a DVI port, I have to use the special component adapter that came with my ATI card. I can only get the screen to fill at 1776x1000 at a 1080i resolution. Anyway, every time I start Battlefront, the game kicks me back to 480i resolution, even though I've disabled 480i resolution in the ATI settings! It seems like the game does not want to run at any other resolution than 480i. Anyone know of anything else? :(

pbuscher · Post by **pbuscher** » 13 Oct 2004, 06:25

Anyone know how to get it to do widescreen yet?

Sycho · Post by **Sycho** » 04 Dec 2004, 03:31

ok, my first time posting

i was doing some investigation before getting this game, a quick google for "battlefront widecscreen" revealed this

From the guide it looks like you can either modify the vidmode.ini file to include the resolution you want, or simply change the command line that runs the game to:

battlefront.exe /resolution [width height]
I'll give this a try when I get home and report the results.

also this seem worth a read
