Well, according to that tweakguide place, it says that the resolution command (/resolution [width height]) "sets the resolution for the server window." Maybe thats only for the small server window when hosting a server?

I could have sworn I tried it before and found no difference in resolution.

Its odd, cause in that video.ini file, it lists 1440x900 however its not an option for the in game settings.

so, has anyone else tried it, as like someone mentioned, it could be hardware specific

I didnt see a difference. Did you?

oh sorry, i forgot to mention, i have not purchased this game yet, if it can work in widescreen, it will be on my christmas list

Alright - in the same folder as the file that lists all the resolutions is a text file called "device" that basically (looks to me anyways) enables certain resolutions depending on what card you have. I copied the numbers after the ati x800 xt and pasted them after my card (9800xt) but it did nothing. So I've hit a brick wall. :(

has anyone had any luck with the custom resolution for widescreen with this game yet?

I set the rez in the commandline and it only worked for the game's menu system so far.

"C:Program FilesLucasArtsStar Wars BattlefrontGameDataBattlefront.exe" /resolution 848 480

Maybe if there was a way in the commandline to bypass the menu and go straight into a map (or map list) in the game...

I don't have my laptop with me, but I referred to this tweak guide below by adding the /resolution command switch. I think I used the 1280/960

http://www.tweakguides.com/SWB_7.html

When I tried this the beginning sequence filled the entire screen, as well as the gameplay too but when I try the samething on my main pc the entire game, beginning sequence and all is squished. I will look again at my laptop when I get back home and I'll post again if I was incorrect and the picture stretches, but I'm very certain it didnt.

The tweakguide has already been talked about here on this thread. It doesnt seem that the /resolution command works for game play. In fact, on the tweak guide, it says "/resolution [width height] - Sets the resolution for the server window" I think that resolution command only sets the size of the server window when you run a server. Who know.

Though, I really wish I can play it 1440x900 WS :(

Got Battlefront run at 1280x800. First try wonÃ‚Â´t work, cause original driver (SOny > Radeon 9200) wonÃ‚Â´t "recognized" by the game.....
After installed new driver for ATI Radeon Mobility from here....

...Start once more and now I can play at 1280x800....

hope it will help anyone...

Just by using a different set of drivers made it work? Well, I'm a little leary on using drivers I've havent heard of. I've been using Omega's Drivers.

Anyone else have any luck?

bantahunter · Post by **bantahunter** » 01 Feb 2005, 09:22

DidnÃ‚Â´t now them before...grat work.

I've just tried the Omega Driver 2.6.05a and I still cannot get widescreen 1440x900 to work :(

Zak · Post by **Zak** » 15 Feb 2005, 22:09

I can just verify that in my experience the numbers in the ini file do not relate to actual resolutions available in the game and I was unable so far to get it to work at 1680x1050. This is the strangest config file I've ever seen. I don't see any wide resolutions available at all, I run GF6800GT, Dell 20" LCD.

Fixed, its just the same as Battlefront II, I wrote this in notepad and saved it as .bat. [spoiler]"your install directory"GameDataBattlefront.exe /resolution 1920 1200[/spoiler]

Then just launch it from the batch file.

Don't mix up Battlefront.exe with LaunchBF.exe

Main menu will still be low-resolution but the game itself should be whatever resolution you set it to ;)
