Think you could post some comparison shots?

Think you could post some comparison shots?

Sure.

Comparison screenshots:

BEFORE PATCH 1.50
4:3 - CORRECT FOV AND HUD


16:10 - WRONG FOV AND HUD




AFTER PATCH 1.50
16:10 - CORRECT FOV BUT WRONG HUD


__________

*** BEFORE PATCH 1.50 with WIDESCREEN FIXER (that doesn't work anymore) BOTH FOV & HUD COULD BE FIXED ***

One wonders the point of finally enabling widescreen support when it is so horribly Vert- with a stretched HUD.

[Paradigm Shifter]

Well, as the HUD is usually a 2D overlay, it doesn't surprise me that much that it's stretched...

[Glottis]

Couldn't care less about the HUD, I'm just very happy that I don't need to use WidescreenFixer any more :D

[The_cranky_hermit]

The first and third shots don't match up. Look at the crosshairs - the machinegun is aiming lower in the third shot than it is in the other two, which makes it hard to verify the FOV is correct. Could you take another pair of shots? They can be both from 1.50.

Here are my personal shots. I try to match it up as close as I can. Edit if needed. I don't usually post full-sized images on here. :o

1024x768


1280x1024


1680x1050


I tried to scale the smaller images up as accurately as I can to 1050 height while maintaining the image's aspect ratio. Here's the result:

[The_cranky_hermit]

Thanks! Based on those shots, 4:3 provides baseline FOV, 16:10 is hor +, and 5:4 is vert +.

Any takers for a DR?

[Soduka]

Well at least it's better than before.

[packerfan]

I have it and I guess I could potentially take it if nobody else is up for it. With other crap coming up in the next week I would prefer not but I suppose I could do it quick one night.

[StingingVelvet]

So it is Hor+ for the most part... my mistake. Cool thing to do so long after release, then.

Does this game have offline with bots?

[JohnnyWakko]

So is the new patch out yet? When can I get HOR+ (fudge the stretched HUD carefactor -1000 on that one)

Gimme gimme gimme

Yeah, it has.

Gimme gimme gimme

Actually it is out.

[CrackerJackMack]

Reinstallting right now just to play with Hor+ :) Haven't played in years because of it. (and the lack of maps)

The AI even uses the commander, supplying you with crates, vehicles and artillery strikes.
Also, they actually really follow your orders, contrary to the real humans in online games. :D

[maherie]

yeah I'll be re-installing too!

Guys we have another big problem because of this "great" support:

Read this thread and you will understand why:
http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk/battlefield-2/802783-alt-tab-bug-fix-community.html

The FOV is now correct but we are forced to use an old .dll because of the "new widescreen support" breaks our possibility of using ALT+TAB while in game.

So we have now NO POSSIBILITY AT ALL to have both correct FOV and ALT+TAB working (while before we had thanks to Widescreen Fixer).

Just if it would be possible to extend the Widescreen Fixer support to Battlefield 2 1.50 FINAL (current official patch) using the old (latest one working) .dll we could get FOV and ALT+TAB working both again!
