Hey guys, every time I start up BF2:SF it crashes as soon as it goes to full screen. I have tried adding the additional text for the target, as I did in normal BF2, which worked fine, but BF2:SF wont work. Any help? Also, I can't seem to find a good resolution to play at. Any suggestions?

My BFS:SF target is this:

"C:Program FilesEA GAMESBattlefield 2BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +modPath mods/xpack +ignoreAsserts 1 +szx 1920 +szy1200

is there something wrong in there?

My normal BF2 is playing at 1280 x 720.

When I go into in-game options, I cant change the resolution, my only option is 800 x 600, with different refresh rates.

Any help would be great, and if this is the wrong place to post, then I am sorry

Code:
C:Program FilesEA GAMESBattlefield 2BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx1920 +szy1200


Try that, also I think there might be spaces after the " +szx "

Yeah ... you need spaced after the +syz ... it should read ...

"C:Program FilesEA GAMESBattlefield 2BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +modPath mods/xpack +ignoreAsserts 1 +szx 1920 +szy 1200

not ...

"C:Program FilesEA GAMESBattlefield 2BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +modPath mods/xpack +ignoreAsserts 1 +szx 1920 +szy1200

I did the path that you guys suggested, it still keeps crashing after the splash. I'll tinker with it a bit more

Hrm, no luck. Would a reinstall maybe fix?

My BF2:SF one looks like this:
Code:
"C:Program FilesEA GAMESBattlefield 2BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +modPath mods/xpack +ignoreAsserts 1 +szx 1920 +szy 1200


My normal BF2 one looks like this:
Code:
"C:Program FilesEA GAMESBattlefield 2BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 1280 +szy 700


Neither will work :-/ :cry:

Mine looks like that for special forces.

Okay, and how about your BF2 one? Do you need the BF2 one working for the SF one to work?

Okay, this is weird. It works if I use the "Play" button on the splash screen when you insert the disc.

Then I would have thought that means that there must be something wrong with the desktop shortcut ...
Try deleting it and making a new one ... :?

Ok, I reinstalled and the game is working fine. I went to the target to add +szx 1920 +szy 1200 with one space after the 1200 part. I ran the game, it crashed to desktop. I took away the added part, and it worked fine again...What am I doing wrong?
