[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

To check if it is working take a screenshot and see what size it is ... :wink:
