Widescreen Gaming Forum

No sorry ... :(
I have passed on the info to Racer_S ... it's his hack and I don't know the workings of it ... it is best dealt with by him.

If he gets back to me about it I'll post.

Thanks

well i just got a samsung syncmaster205bw. the shortcut hack works great for bf2 single player. as long as i double click the shortcut i get my 1680x1050 res, but when i use a multiplayer browser and connect i revert back to 800x600. i've tried deleting all of my video.con files. that didn't work for me. seeing as i only play multiplayer help.

It works for me...

Shortcuthack:

"D:Battlefield 2BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 1680 +szy 1050

Everytime use this shortcut!!!!

Usually if you go trough this shortcut into the multiplayerbrowser the resoulution should be the same.

i've used the in game browser after launching with the shortcut and it reverted back to 800x600. are you saying you can't use gamespy and have widescreen res?

well i got it working at 1680x1050. i had to do a system search fo video.con files and delete them all. i found 6 of them.

i was wrong. how do you get gamespy not to revert me back to 800x600res. does everyone who plays bf2 in widescreen do it in single player?

bump for my question...

I have a question:

I can get widescreen to work fine by appending the info to the executable for BF2. This also works in Special Forces. But, when I launch BF2 (as opposed to Special Forces) and then decide to play a Special Forces map, the widescreen option does not work and it reverts back to stretching the resolution. This also happens if I launch Special Forces and then decide to load a non-Special Forces map. It is annoying because I have to restart the game using either executable to get the widescreen to work.

Anyone know what is causing this and if it is fixable?

Thanks

Just for the record: Stretching means you didn't really implement widescreen support at all. The slightly increased FOV on widescreen is naturally what happens when you correctly implement widescreen support. If they think this is "unfair" they need to get a life and leave it up to players to get onboard with widescreen monitors if they're THAT concerned about it being such an OMG HUGE playing advantage. :roll:

Any upcoming game that does not properly support widescreen is one I won't buy.

I havent noticed any strechin or the FOV being cut, but you guys know better I guess. It looks great to me. Here is a shot from BF2 @1440x900 everything maxed, 4xaa, TAA-supersampling:
