Use the button on the top right of someones message to quote him.
Then it's more clear what and who you are quoting. :wink:
Just a tip. :)

I think he tried to but for some reason the

at the start of the line is missing ... (the quote bit is at the end of the line ... :wink: ) ... :P

:shock: I didn't even notice that. :lol: :lol:

Hi just signed up to these forums. Have a Dell 2407 monitor. Trying to start up in the "widescreen" world. Has anyone ever come up with a definite solution to getting BF2 working in widescreen? 1920x1200?
I have been searching the forums and have found at least 8 pages of discussion from 2005 up to 2007 regarding this situation. Sometimes it works, sometimes it don't.
Game worked with a Viewsonic 19" monitor at 1280x1020 resolution. I upgraded the monitor with the Dell and tried playing last night. All I got was a blank screen then got dumped to desktop at 1920x1200. Tried setting the resolution to 1280x1020. Got a blank screen. Read the readme file about deleting the "profiles" folder. deleted that and set the monitor for for 1280x1020. Worked at that resolution. Haven't tried anything else yet.

Anyone offer any help??

Thanks

Neigh.







Get it?

Doesn't look good in widescreen :|

You see that it cuts off a massive chunk on the top and the bottom.

marmaduke, can you try that hack i linked you to? That should get it working.

I'll try it tonight when I get home from work. Thanks.

I tried it. ??? I set it to 1920x1200 in the Target. BF2 started up and the video option only offered 1600x1200 resolution. Game plays but I really don't know what my resolution is or is supposed to be.
