    Right click on your BF2 shortcut on your desktop and add this to the target after "+fullscreen"

    +szx 1440 +szy 900

        nope. This is mine:

        "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +restart +szx 1680 +szy 1050

        the "+restart" forces it to skip intro videos, and then that's my custom resolution at the end.

          thanks for the help.

          that kinda worked, but it still does not have the desired resolution in the video options to choose from. i only have 4 in my list and 1440x900 isnt one of them.

            I know, it will not appear in the options. Just add that line, and run the game as normal without going into graphics options and it'll work.

            If you look in the graphics options whilst it's running 1440x900, it'll probably show 800x600 as it does not recognise the resolution.

            A good test to see whether it's working is to run Xfire at the same time. When you start the game a box will appear saying "game mode started", or words to that effect.

            If it's running at 1440x900, the box will look suitably small, where as if it were running at 800x600, it would be very big.

              Teamspeak Overlay is another. If you have it running when you start the game it will show what resolution the game is running in down in the bottom right corner.

                  Make sure you click on the Debug tab and select "Use alternative DirectX method" for TSO to work properly with BF2.
