When I use widescreen on the beta, my game would never reload after closing, so I'm not going to try it, but they havent even put it in the menu, so I'm guessing after all of this time they couldnt even create a proper widescreen mode?

Re: Widescreen improved any?
Originally posted by SomeDooD View PostSo, did v1.5 patch add more resolutions or what? If so is 1680x1050 supported now? I wanna know before I reinstall this game and see if its any decent now.
Any help.. I force widescreen with adding +widescreen to my desktop icon so I think I have it already

Re: Widescreen improved any?
Is there actually any change in the quality/nature of the visuals over using the old system of +szy/+szy on the target line?
I use a 24" monitor with a resolution of 1920x1200, and haven't really seen any improvement in this new setting over 'forcing' the resolution on previous patches.

Of course I also remember one of them stating that there would never be a wake map in 2142.......

Re: Widescreen improved any?
Well, perhaps it was like this before, perhaps not, but I tried the widescreen resolution today and noticed that now I can see more of the Dropship cockpit. Before I could only see the round bar that went out around the windshield, but now I see two bars going up as well along each side.
Maybe it was always there but i've only been using the same resolution since day one.

Re: Widescreen improved any?
Widescreen looks great, no stretching. It also enables 1680x1050.
Here's how to set up widescreen from EA's support page:
While Battlefield 2142 Update 1.50 adds widescreen functionality, it is not available by default. Widescreen mode is currently a beta feature and has some minor graphical issues regarding the weapons in game, however these do not affect gameplay. If you would like to activate Widescreen functionality please use the following steps:
- Locate your Battlefield 2142 shortcut
- Right-Click and select Properties
- At the end of the Target line you should see +fullscreen 1
- After this add +widescreen 1
- You will now have widescreen resolutions available in Video options in the front end
Note: By doing this you accept that there will be some minor graphical issues in your game and these should not be raised as an issue.
