BF42 + DC Resolution problems!! HELP!

[n00bzor]

Hello!

I was searching all over the web for a solution to this problem, and finally found my way here.
I am having a problem with my resolution in game, specifically "Battlefield 1942 / Desert Combat / final."

I feel like I've tried everything, so now im throwing myself at your feet.. in desperate need of help!

Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster 206BW 22"inch.
Card: nVidia GeForce GTX560Ti

The resolution i run on desktop is the higest available 1680 x 1050.

However IN GAME everything looks stretched :S

I tried messing with the IN GAME resolution options, and nother really helped.
I tried editing the video.con files etc, as suggested on various other websites..

Guys.. I miss playing, can you help me? :(


What can I do ?

Here's how to navigate the site...
From the top bar, highlight Games, Hacks & Tools and select Master Games List. Then in the B list, find Battlefield 1942. Voilà !

Apparently the game only supports widescreen through stretching... but you can try Matt's unconfirmed solution:

To get widescreen in BF1942 even with the newest patch, do this:

Replace the line:
game.setGameDisplayMode 800 600 32 0
With:
game.setGameDisplayMode 1680 1050 32 60
In the Following Files:
C:Program FilesEA GAMESBattlefield 1942Modsbf1942SettingsProfilesDefaultVideoCustom.con
C:Program FilesEA GAMESBattlefield 1942Modsbf1942SettingsProfilesDefaultVideo.con
C:Program FilesEA GAMESBattlefield 1942Modsbf1942SettingsProfilesCustomVideoCustom.con
C:Program FilesEA GAMESBattlefield 1942Modsbf1942SettingsProfilesCustomVideo.con

Add the line:
renderer.fieldOfView 1.1
To the Following File:
C:Program FilesEA GAMESBattlefield 1942Modsbf1942SettingsVideoDefault.con

Then set both of those sets of files to read-only.

The game interface isn't widescreen, but once you get into the game it pops out to 1680x1050 goodness, with the UI stretched to match the screen size.

Let us know...

Ohhh sweet! I will try this immediately, and give feedback!

THANKS!

Ok, tried both things... it worked to some degree, meaning its still stretched but better looking.
I guess there is no real way around this :/
