.con and ultra high

[Lavadisk]

i want to know how to make the gfx ultra high. im not shure if opening the .con file with notepad actually did anything and from what this post says it should say something ingame on the video settings.



heres what i did and heres the post i read


if you can please help me to get ultrahigh gfx

rem ** Custom **
run Profiles/Custom/Video.con

VideoSettings.setTerrainQuality 4

VideoSettings.setGeometryQuality 4

VideoSettings.setLightingQuality 4

VideoSettings.setDynamicLightingQuality 4

VideoSettings.setDynamicShadowsQuality 4

VideoSettings.setEffectsQuality 4

VideoSettings.setTextureQuality 4

VideoSettings.setTextureFilteringQuality 4

C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\Settings

Most of the settings in these .con files can and should be altered using the in-game options. However there are a few things you can adjust which are unique to the .con files:

Video.con

VideoSettings.setResolution 1280x960@75Hz

This setting controls your current resolution in Battlefield 2. The format is Width x Height@Refresh Rate. If you cannot start up BF2 and change the resolution from within the game, try altering it here to help you startup the game. In particular when you want to launch BF2 for the first time and the game just crashes back to desktop, you can change the resolution from its default of 800x600@60Hz to one your monitor supports. Note, however, that certain resolutions are unsupported and entering them here will not work

VideoSettings.setTerrainQuality 4

VideoSettings.setGeometryQuality 4

VideoSettings.setLightingQuality 4

VideoSettings.setDynamicLightingQuality 4

VideoSettings.setDynamicShadowsQuality 4

VideoSettings.setEffectsQuality 4

VideoSettings.setTextureQuality 4

VideoSettings.setTextureFilteringQuality 4

All of the above settings can be adjusted from within the in-game Video settings. However the highest they can be set to is High from within the game (a value of 3). By setting them each to 4 in Video.con (as shown above), you will have them displayed as 'Videosettings_Ultrahigh' in the in-game Video settings screen, and some people believe this increases the graphics quality to Ultrahigh levels. I didn't see any impact from this change, but if you want the absolute best quality in BF2 give it a try.

Tried and tested..doesn't do anything.

..and you have to edit the video.con file for your profile under:
..\My Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\#####\video.con

Re: .con and ultra high

Naw..that's it. You have the settings to change and now you know which file to edit.

Give it a try and see for yourself.

Use FRAPS to take screenshots and monitor FPS..you'll see no difference.

If these settings were to do SOMEthing..they'd at least decrease your fps slightly...but they don't.

Re: .con and ultra high

yeah. well. now that i have them edited im not gonna change them. im guessing theres a difference but im not shure. as long as i get good preformance and can join servers ill keep it. dont fix something unless its broken



with the + commands i changed the start up so when i double click it dosent show the movies and has me as the default account so it takes less time to be in a game

Right..so long as your FPS doesn't drop (which it won't) it's not hurting anything.

It also isn't helping anything.

Do yourself a favor and forget about this "tweak". It doesn't improve the IQ at all.
