I set my target line for BF2 shortcut to:

"D:EA GAMESBattlefield 2BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 1680 +szy 1050

And everything works, but I"m getting some performance issues.

AMD 64 3200
1 gig of ram
6800 GT

What are your BF2 settings? Also, kick up the ram another notch to 2G's and you'll rid yourself of the stuttering and some of the perf drops.

Without knowing your BF2 settings, we can't really help ya. I can tell ya this much. When I had a P4 3.0, 1GB, and a 6800GT, my settings were 1280x1024 and no AA with textures, shadows, and lights on medium to get a nice smooth rate.

Download fraps and watch your FPS.

[quote]Four gives twice the sustained transfer rate as two. (linky) . . . These things eat BF2 maps for breakfast. :lol:

I guess your right about that but it still is way too much money for my taste. :P :lol:

It's only money! They'll make more!
:D

Gheghe, the only problem is it is me who has to do the work to make more of it since i would be the one spending it. :P

hoi, i got a little problem
i'm playing BF2 in 1920x1200, and want to enable Vsync
but there's my problem, in all normal 4:3 resolutions vsync is working perfectly(60fps@60hz), but everytime i want to use a widescreen resolution i got exactly a maximum of 100fps - and then i got horrible tearing :(
is there any way to really force vsync regardless of the resolution?
(im already forcing it with the CCC of the 6.2 catalyst drivers ("Always on") but that doesn't help)
i've even tried to set the resolution and refresh rate with DXTweaker, but also no effect :(

1.21 is out today.

after reading the changes it seems there is still no widescreen support :evil: :cry:

*getting back to a cut down version of BF2* :cry:

Changing the command line to the "+szx 1680 +szy 1050" solution no longer works for me, although it worked fine until:

a) I upgraded the patch to 1.21 and
b) I upgraded my nVidia drivers to 84.21

I now get a very wierd 4:3 picture moved onto the left hand side, a bar of prvious details on the right hand side and some of the graphics not displayed properly :(

Wish i'd have done one at a time.
Anyone else have a similar picture?

Ignore previous post, i just fixed it.

Basically, i had left AA in nvidia settings set at "8x" rather than application controlled, and in BF2 I only ever have 2x, so it just clearly overloaded frame buffer (or some such part).

Try it! It's kinda fun....in a crappy upsetting way.
(PS my graphics card is 128MB AGP)
