BF2 in widescreen?

[suicidal_monkey]

I have BF2 running in widescreen, ...but it is resisting all attempts by me to change the resolution to anything other than 1680x1050, and my poor old 9800pro is struggling a little bit...

I have altered the shortcut to include +szx 1280 and +szy 720 to no avail. Game is still starting up at 1680

I have tried editing the config files but BF2 crashes to desktop if I set these to anything other than 4:3 ratios.

I have tried setting my desktop to 1280x720 prior to launching BF2 - still starts up at 1680.

I have tried deleting the config files and used the shortcut with the szx and szy commands, still stuck at 1680...

any further ideas? :ph34r:

Have you deleted the profiles in your cache folder? This will reset everything.

I deleted the folder filled with .con files...

the thing is prior to the widescreen LCD I used 1280x960 into a crt so wouldn't the cache be re-done anyway? ...I'll give it a go this evening

I have the solution to your problem.  Buy a better graphics card :whistle:

that will require a new motherboard, new cpu, and probably new ram and HDD... which is not planned for a while yet!

Maybe this can somehow help, even though it a first glance looks a bit like what you've tried...
