Widescreen Gaming Forum

Can anyone run BF2 with th2go? Tried a search but no help. Must be possible cause of the youtube video I saw.

Thanks,

nope you can't, search is your friend!

there is a WS hack though http://imk.cx/pc/widescreenfixer/

The new 1.5 patch adds widescreen support, but after reading some forums, it looks like the beta only has the resolutions and they're waiting for the final version of the patch to implement a true fov fix. I haven't tested it personally yet, but I will when I get home. With 1.41, using the triplehead2go along with the "widescreen fix" technically "worked", but no objects were visible, so it was unplayable. I've just been using 1 monitor for this game, but I'm hoping the 1.5 final patch will fix this.

1.5 for me enabled all the resolutions with the same Vert- FOV implementation, but it was highly unstable. Crashed every minute or two when attempting to do a multiplayer game, but in single player it was fine.

I tested it and all of my resolution's are availible, but the FOV is still off. So it's just like adding the extra lines to the shortcut, it isn't fixed 100% yet.

On the BF2 twitter he said (yes he, there is only one guy working on this patch) that the WS support is not enabled in the BETA, didn't quite finish it!

Appreciate the comments, but after a lot of playing I gave up & uninstalled bf2.

It will be fixed in the next release of the patch. I can't wait!

Your right xetura. :D Just install 1.5 beta (inc) patch, & th2go works fine. Haven't had much time to play that much, don't about other stuff.

With correct FOV, too? Or do you mean it just lets you select the resolution?

I haven't installed the beta patch yet and probably won't install any patch until the final of v1.5 is out. It would be very interesting if they not only made it hor+, but actually made the engine handle triplehead aspect-ratios. If I let people use TH aspect-ratios with my widescreen fixer, then certain objects disappear in the game.

I second DF's post. When I read yours I tried 5040 in 2142 but it just crashed. Are you saying in beta1.5 we have full hor+ at all res? that would be great! I installed the beta and played a bit but rolled back to play with my clan (not enough servers) but never even thought of trying TH res. esp when they said that WS support is not supported in the Beta but will in the full.

For me at least, in Beta 1.5 for BF2 it crashes constantly, but when I did get to play (in singleplayer) it was still Vert-, it just had the resolutions listed.

Battlefield 2142 with the 1.5 patch doesn't list the resolutions, but the FOV DOES increase. So if you play in a TH resolution, you will have the correct field of view.

Problem is that, as seen with Dopefish's hack in BF2, objects start disappearing like crazy. If you check my screenshots in the thread asking for triplehead screenshots to add to the DR, you'll see that in my TH screenshot no movable objects (vehicles, soldier) and some immovable objects (the building I was standing in) tend to disappear...

BF2 lists the rez, I play at 3840x1024

That is cool, I may have to play around with 2142 and see if I can get any TH res working, and I hope the get bf2 working for trip wide...sweet we still play that at least once a week :)

For 2142, just use the launch options.

+szx and +szy

yeah I tried it previously game wouldn't launch. but may try again tonight if I have time.

I tried 2142 yesterday. I had to completely delete my config folder (in My Documents) to get it to launch on patch 1.5. Using the command line options it will start in 5040 res (as it always did). The menus were almost unusable (text on top of text) and the game itself has a completely messed up FOV, so much so you cant even see the weapon you are carrying.

I also couldnt see other player models and stuff randomly disappeared.
It would appear that patch 1.5 did nothing at all for Triplehead.

Yeah. The engine stops drawing objects at a certain distance/angle (culling) to make the engine run better. When they set up this engine, they just didn't design it with such wide aspect-ratios in mind.

Someone had mentioned previously that two monitors works fine, so you might want to play with some windowed resolutions to see if you can get anything acceptable.
