Hehe...glad I could help.

I used to use +widescreen too until I kept reading over and over again that it didn't do anything. And then I tried it for myself like you just did

Re: BF2 in widescreen, Guide Here!

Yea, doesnt seem to work on my 1280x800 laptop either. It works at the login screen, then reverts to a different res.

Re: BF2 in widescreen, Guide Here!

...yeah do what I do:

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

Make sure you set your video.con file to 800x600 or set the res to 800x600 once and quit before loading with the above command line options.

Did you even READ this thread>?>??>???

Can I just change the Video.con file to whatever resolution I want and not bother with the shortcut target?

Re: BF2 in widescreen, Guide Here!

Nope...won't work.

You'll crash to desktop.

In fact you have to 'ren' that resolution line out of the video.con file or leave it as 800x600.

Gotta love DICE's implementation, eh?

Re: BF2 in widescreen, Guide Here!

Just use 800x600 in the video.con file and edit your shortcut

[X-ander]

Re: BF2 in widescreen, Guide Here!

It wont work either.

Ive even tried changing the desktop resolution to 800x600

Re: BF2 in widescreen, Guide Here!

Are you editing the correct video.con file?

Post the contents of:
C:\documents and settings\your username\my documents\battlefield 2\profiles\your profile number\video.con

And also post the exact command line of the shortcut you're using.

Re: BF2 in widescreen, Guide Here!

you could also try changing the profiles/default/video.com file res to 800x600@60 thats what fixed it for my friend. He did both, his and the default and it worked (the default is used on login?).
