Battlefield 2: Special Forces?

Post by Alabaster Slim »

[quote]I was having this same problem.

I solved it by making a copy of my shortcut to regular BF2. Then I added +modPath mods/xpack +ignoreAsserts 1 to the end after the lines for my custom resolution. It loads the custom res now instead of just crashing to desktop.


Okay, I'll try that, but to make sure I understand:

Make a new shortcut to BF2, add the resoultion, then add +modPath mods/xpack +ignoreAsserts 1 ?

Correct. This is exactly what I did.

My BF2 shortcut looked like:

"C:Program FilesEA GAMESBattlefield 2BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 1280 +szy 768


I made a copy of that shortcut (Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V) and then added the above line. My SF shortcut looks like:

"C:Program FilesEA GAMESBattlefield 2BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 1280 +szy 768 +modPath mods/xpack +ignoreAsserts 1

I have the Fujitsu Siemens Scaleoview W19-1 LCD monitor with 1440x900 resolution. I tried changing the BF2 SF shortcut to:
BF2.exe +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +modPath mods/xpack +ignoreAsserts 1 +szx 1440 +szy 900

The game works fine, but I can't see if the resolution "ingame" is applied or not..
If I go into the Video settings, should 1440x900@60mhz etc, be a new selection or what?

Please help me check if the shortcut mod works :oops:

Hi,

The In Game won't change. If it fills the screen without using scaling then it has worked. Buy the looks of the short cut it looks fine.

Mine is

Code: Select all

"C:Program FilesEA GAMESBattlefield 2BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +modPath mods/xpack +ignoreAsserts 1 +szx 1680 +szy 1050
I still visit occasionally.
