  • MUST READ, set up colour profile for BF2! (for nvidia users)

    In BF2 you can't adjust your gamma, brightness and contrast , and many people complain the dark area's are to dark, and some even set the lightning quality off so the dark area's lighten up but offcourse you loose some eyecandy, I use difirent colourprofiles for my games and other applictaions, this way you keep the eyecandy and you won't miss enemy's because they are in a dark area you will spot them directly, and here is how make them en set them , actualy everybody should do this, just to finetune there game , I know it's possible with ATI cards also, but I don't know the catalyst drivers so well anymore .

    Just folow the screens with the explenation above and you will find it very easy . my driver is in dutch but I will translate to english in explenation


    For starting, on your desktop , click right mouse button, then properties


    click on settings


    click on the name of your vid card


    now we will create a colour profile, click on colour correction in the list


    for making thing a little more bright, you just turn up the values pointed out, not to much a litle bit makes a whole diffirence, also to compensate the brightness, turn up contrast a little, here it will be diffirent for everybody, some will need to adjust mre then others and you just try something, afterwards test in BF2 and when not happy adjust more or adjust back to lower values . after changing the values, click on save ass


    then you can name this profile to whatever, to make it easy call it BF2 , if you make more then one profile you can use BF2a, .... doesn't mather what you call it, just remember wich one is for BF2 .


    now you have made a colour profile and you need to add it to the BF2 profile in your driver, now you click on prestaion and quality settings in the menu


    click on the drop down menu and scroll till you find BF2.exe , click on BF2.exe


    now you are in the profile of BF2, in the drop down menu pointed out, click on advanced settings


    now look in the small window (need to scrol down) for colour profile, click on it (also need to click it on) and then you will be able to add the colour profile you have made, this will be called :"adapted" and then the name you gave the profile, then just click on aply and the colour profile is added to BF2, now start up BF2 and test it



    some remarks
    - if you have an enhancer for your nvidia drivers or something else running on your pc, it will probably not work, this because the enhancer is blocking the nvidia driver , I have tried the same with an enhancer but it didn't work out so good , also the curent nvidia drivers have the same and sometimes even more settings to add to a game profile then some enhancer progs .
    - also, maybe this is more for in the hardware section, but I think everybody should read this and test it for themselves

    hope I helped some guys here with this

    Thanks for this.

    But when I click on application profiles to select BF2 there are no options in the drop down menu . Is there something you have to do to add profiles before you can select one or something ?

      you have to click on the arrow to drop down the menu , if you have a forceware driver then this list is full, all those games are listed in there by default , if there is nothing in this list, you should reinstall/upgrade your driver .

      but it is almost impossible there aren't any games listed, nnvidia has added this feature in there drivers for a very long time now

          Moderators: This is a good example of a sticky-able thread.

                I just set it like that before starting BF2 and reset to normal when back in windows. It helps a bunch for dark areas.
