Widescreen Gaming Forum

just hooked up my viewsonic 28" lcd today and for some reason bf2 wouldn't open
i went into the config folder in my doc-bf2-profiles 0001 and default and changed video to 1920x1200@60hz but the game won't start
when i change res to 1600x1200@60hz, the game does run, but my in game video options max at 1600x1200, which doesn't make any sense to me, since my monitor's native res is 1920x1200. i am having this same problem w/ il2 1946, even though it will start up. i am just limited to 160x1200.

any got any ideas on how i can fix this and enable 1920x1200?

thanks

:wink:

thanks

tried all those steps there except doing a complete uninstall and now the game will start (at 800x600 res) but in the resolution options in game i don't see 1920x1200 as an available res

i ran the game w/out making any changes in the game options menu and it started, but at 800x600

just to be clear, i am dleeting all the video.con files, then adding +menu 1 +widescreen 1 +szx 1920 +szy 1200 one space after "C:Program FilesEA GAMESBattlefield 2BF2.exe" in the target line of the bf2 shortcut on my desktop, and then starting the game

You won't see 1920x1200 in the game ... or game menu ... but the game should run at 1920x1200 if you do this ... from that thread I posted ...

Then once it is working try changing it to your desired res via the shortcut target ...

This ...
"C:Program FilesEA GAMESBattlefield 2BF2.exe"
becomes ...
"C:Program FilesEA GAMESBattlefield 2BF2.exe" +menu 1 +widescreen 1 +szx 1680 +szy 1050
or ...
"C:Program FilesEA GAMESBattlefield 2BF2.exe" +menu 1 +widescreen 1 +szx 1920 +szy 1200
... just change the res to your desire ... :D

you should be able to tell if it is at 1920x1200 ... if you can't then take a screenshot and see what size it is.

To add options to the target line of a shortcut ... in case you don't know how ... http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/node/8312

EDIT : You know editing your post after I post an answer is really annoying !

thaks for the info---yeah, i am doing it right

i tried playing for a few mins and while i couldn't tell as such, it looked pretty pixelated to me

might be though b.c many of the other video optios in game seemed to be set at medium

can set all the options to high and choose apply, or will that also force the 800x600 res to apply, or whatever res is listed in the in game res option?

Hi guys, the widescreen fixer website seems to be down right now. Could anyone here link me or forward me the 1.30 file?

[email protected] or just send a PM! :)

Thanks

Hello folks, hope all is going well. The little woman bought me a flat screen for X-mas. It is a samsung syncmaster 2443bwx. And you guessed it, the only game it doesn't work on is BF2. I followed the instructions to be able to change it, clear to uninstalling and following in structions on removing it from the register, still a no go even with trying it with the shortcut "edit". I have tried it with the widescreen fixer 1.32 and still a no go, I get the flash screen then a flicker and back to desktop. Any help would really be appreciated.

Yup to the T

Interestingly enough. had to start with 800x600 to get game to boot. Now I don't have a really high resolution but at least I am in game. 1280x1024 I think.
