Widescreen Gaming Forum

Try renaming all your video.con files (there should be two of them) and see if all is well. If that works, start restoring your old settings and see if all stays OK. You may get to some setting that is causing the poor behaviour.

i have tryed to delete the video.con files but there was no changes :(

the text is big and square-edged like the spawnpoints on the map.

Best quality i have is when i make this shortcut hack and reduce the graphic settings.

Other Ideas to make the text smaller?

edit: are newer FOV hacks existing from Racer_s for Bf2 Patch 1.41 ? I have downloaded a old version for Bf2 version 1.0 to 1.3

I use the following shortcuts for BF2 and BF2 Special Forces:

"C:Program FilesEA GAMESBattlefield 2BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 1680 +szy 1050

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

You mentioned FOV, so I wondered if you have a different option on your shortcut that is messing it up.

Perhaps some OS setting, like Display Properties, Appearance, Font Size = Large?

Roy

Hello, I use the same Shortcuts like you with the little difference of + widescreen 1 than + fullscreen 1 but that options doesnt matter...

I tested the game with black bars, there is the text horrible too, but not stretched so its not soooo bad like widescreen res.

I dont know what to change :(

My System:
CPU: Core 2 Duo E6600 2,4 Ghz
Graphic: Geforce 7800 GTX
RAM: 2 GB DDR2 800
Monitor: NEC 20wgx2pro (1680x1050)

That is the best performance to play Bf2 perfect :/

In the game FEAR is everything perfect.

Here some Screens of my Battlefield2:

Euuhh what's wrong whit ur pictures, Zed ? I don't see nothing, you have the same results that we all do. Nothing better to do here, since EA doesn't give a damn about WS support. Enjoy it like that we all do... :wink:

I thought the text can be smaller... but i cant find better screens. Its ok now :) Thanks for help.

btw. sry for my bad english^^

Np :wink: Its a great game but the support from EA sucks... See u on the battle Field :D

Hi to all!

I've been reading a ton regarding the cursed widescreen solutions for BF2,
I am able to stretch the 4:3 view to my monitor, however I can't for the life of me get 1200x800 solution with the top and bottom cut off..

I've tried:

+menu 1 +widescreen 1 +szx 1280 +szy 800
+menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 1280 +szy 800
+menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 1280 +szy 1024

The first two stretch my screen, whereas the third crashes the game.
I added the rem to the video.con file, but it doesn't help.
Please help me!

Thank you in advance.

BF2 Version: 1.41
Notebook: Asus A6Ja
GFX Card: ATi Mobility Raedon x1600 (With the latest Omega Driver)
Native screen res: 1200x800


Edit: Disregard my post, I somehow didn't realize I was indeed playing in cropped mode. :P

Sorry if this was mentioned here. I posted this in another thread here was what I did to fix it.

I didn't read through this whole thread so sorry if its been covered.

I just bought a Hanns-G 19" WS. Every time I tried BF2 it crashed shortly after the initial splash screen. I tried the [i]+szx [h] +szy [v][i] to no avail.

Both my vid card and monitor have DVI-D and VGA connectors so I thought I'd try BF2 with an analog signal. IT worked no problem.

So now I have both DVI and VGA connected and I use my Nvidia properties button in the taskbar to quickly switch between analog and digital signals to my monitor.


Not the fix I was looking for but it works until EA can get their act together to offer full WS and digital support for ALL their games.

Hope this helps someone.
