[quote]@ Ricepuppet ... Hi, Hold on. I've been able to get NFSMW running with that RES changer someone posted. Concerning Battlefield 2; some other guy at EA told me that i could force the resolution trough the desktop shortcut - as most of you told before - but that doesn't work for me. Specs - DXDIAG Operating System: Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 2 (2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519) Language: Dutch (Regional Setting: Dutch) System Manufacturer: MICRO-STAR INC. System Model: MS-6728 BIOS: Version 1.00 Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz (2 CPUs) Memory: 1024MB RAM Page File: 259MB used, 3666MB available Windows Dir: C:WINDOWS DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904) DX Setup Parameters: Not found DxDiag Version: 5.03.2600.2180 32bit Unicode --------------- Display Devices --------------- Card name: NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Manufacturer: NVIDIA Chip type: GeForce 6800 DAC type: Integrated RAMDAC Device Key: EnumPCIVEN_10DE&DEV_0041&SUBSYS_817C1043&REV_A1 Display Memory: 128.0 MB Current Mode: 1440 x 900 (32 bit) (60Hz) Monitor: Plug en Play-monitor Monitor Max Res: 1600,1200 Driver Name: nv4_disp.dll Driver Version: 6.14.0010.8198 (English) DDI Version: 9 (or higher) Driver Attributes: Final Retail Driver Date/Size: 12/10/2005 03:06:00, 3955456 bytes WHQL Logo'd: Yes WHQL Date Stamp: n/a VDD: n.v.t.

You said something about 2 x AA (anti - aliasing i reckon) I have a Acer AL 1916W widescreen monitor. What are the proper settings then? Messing with the 'Video.con' setting usually causes the game not to run (for me) ... you may need to reinstall ... :( What res are you trying to run BF2 at ? ... I will give it a try. 2xAA is talking about Antialiasing. In the Nvidia settings there is an option for 2xQ AA which for many causes games to end up with corrupt graphics when using a widescreen resolution. 2xAA should be OK ... :D |

I ran BF2 on my CRT at 1280 x 1024 @85hz, now i'm trying to run at 1440 x 900 @ 60 hz on my Acer AL1916W - cause that's the max. res. - I'll try to mess with the AA.. |

Yeah ... your shortcut correct ... I used your shortcut and it worked fine for me. I found a fix by someone else that seemed to be having the same problem as you ... look here at the post by Kaspre ... it is the second post ... http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/node/#comment- Also ... a couple of things to check ... 1 - Make sure you are using the Battlefield 2 Profile in the Nvidia settings. 2 - Make sure you are not using 2xQ AA in the Nvidia settings ... set it to Application Controlled Let me know how you get on ... :D |

Yeah ... your shortcut correct ... I used your shortcut and it worked fine for me. Hmm.. Still no use. I saw that topic by Kaspre. I added the BF2.exe file in the Nvidia settings and set the AA to application controlled, it gave the splash logo, black screen and then back to desktop. So, no progress... |

I don't know what to suggest now ... :? You could try one last time ... uninstalling the game removing the all it's installation folders including the one in My Documents and then use some sort of registry cleaner to remove all the Battlefield 2 entries from your registry. I did a Google for registry cleaner there are plenty ... which one would be best I don't know as I haven't has to use one yet. Then reinstall the game. Sorry that isn't much help ... :cry: If it is any consolation I didn't like the widescreen res because the top and bottom get cut off so I play 4x3 stretched which doesn't look so bad. |

No problem, thanks for you're help anyway. At least some people do help others - unlike EA - i'll uninstall, clean the reg., and when that's done, i'll come back with the final conclusion. It's that, or sell BF2 to someone.. |
