Re: Will 1.3 bring official Widescreen Support

BF2 1.3 Changes

** Added official support for Widescreen monitors. **

If the above were true, that would be enough incentive to buy BF2142. :yay:

where did you hear this malarky.

I've got two 20'' ones.... I don't think it's possible... but I'm a noob at dual monitors.

It would be so awesome to have an additional permanently opened battle-map in fullscreen

Re: Will 1.3 bring official Widescreen Support

Dual monitor is impossible for BF2. All you could do would be to have your desktop showing on the other monitor.

..and for those who haven't figured it out, the above BF2 1.3 release note was made up on-the-spot to prove a point

Has anyone read/heard?

Im holding off on buying a 20 inch Viewsonic Widescreen until Battlefield 2 officially supports it.

Would be a great addition to 1.3 if DICE/EA are reading this!

If it includes hard work, then you can bet DICE will try, then accidently create major bugs in the process, rendering the rest of us without widescreen unable to play.

I was hoping for this way before the release last year. I ran dual 21" CRTs and thought it would be super sweet to have one screen running the game, and the second screen showing a map, squad stats, and kit info.

If anything, I hope the increase the FOV. Hell, Quake3 supported widescreen, albeit, a lower res, and that was in 1999 when that came out.

I have a dell 2005fpw (20.1" widescreen), and battlefield is sex on it... I wouldn't hold off on a monitor b/c battlefield doesn't offically support widescreen.

The only downside to such a high resolution is stress on graphix. I currently only have 1gb of ram and a BFG 7800GTOC, but i'm adding another gb of ram and hopefully another card, too.

Re: Will 1.3 bring official Widescreen Support

Sorry about the stupid question, but i use this:

+szx 1920 +szy 1200 +widescreen 1

and i have NO distorted images (the image proportion is correct on my wide screen), the only "wrong" thing is the 2d graphics (eg: map). Now the question? What would be the difference to have a "native" wide support? I'm already using it (!?).

Native support would mean the HUD wouldn't look chubby.

Why not just get a big non-widescreen lcd?

Why spend the money on 4x3? Vista is coming with widescreen support in several more months. A lot of other games are starting to show up with WS too. I'm sure I will play BF2 for a while, but might make the jump to QWET. And, I am very confident that QuakeWars will have WS support.

Once you get used to widescreen, it's nasty to have to go back to 4:3. You get so used to having space on the sides of the screen that you don't have with 4:3.

Also, BF2 @ 1920x1200 with 4xAA and all settings cranked to high while still running at a steady 80FPS looks very sexy. :)

Quake 4 already has Widescreen support so you can bet on it.

Re: Will 1.3 bring official Widescreen Support

Well that would make my year if they did this.... erggg its annoying having one flatscreen go blank during game play!

Re: Will 1.3 bring official Widescreen Support

can u guys posted what your fix was to get widescreen working. I have an acer AT3201W 32: lcd tv . I have tried to force bf2 to run at 1366x768 which is its res but it just ctd's as soon as i try to fire up bf2.

Any advice would be fantastic. Every other game works fine. Even il2 which is years old.
