Hello ladies and gents.

Installed and activated the 1.5 patches on both BF2 and BF2142 on my surround rig.

BF2 runs great on any res I like all the way to the highest. BF2142, however is not... in surround res's everything is there and beautiful except for the players and vehicles. They are just ghosts running around showing nothing but their shadow or dust from their feet.

Have reinstalled several times. Searched the interwebs and found nothing similar.

I'm one of the sad freaks who actually really liked this game.

Anyone else getting this?

HOLD UP..
wait, are you serious?
are you really running BF2 on triplehead?
like 4320x900, or even 5040x1050?????

Before BF2 always had the FOV problems...

SCREEN SHOTS PLZZZZZZZ!

Sorry I can't really help with the issue you have. Is the 2142 1.5 patch official or beta?

I must second jayhigh's request for screenshots, though! If you have BF2 actually working in surround resolutions I've got to try that for myself. Does the patch also update the Special Forces XP pack?

Let's hope the official release doesn't bork anything.

2142 is on 1.5 official, and doesn't have the SF pack. Are you getting confused with BF2, GA?

AmeerNuub did mention that BF2 works in surround, and I was wondering if the 1.5 patch for BF2 also updates SF. Perhaps I worded my post funny?

Or I read it funny!

Anyway I'd like to see shots of BF (any) in TH, that actually doesn't turn the world upside-down or make everybody invisible!

Woah that's unplayable LOL

It was the WSFixer that makes things go upside down/disappear... still 1920x1200 ain't bad

BF2142 has objects disappear even in the official patch, so it's not just my fixer. ;)

As for BF2, I can't recall if I honestly tested if it worked right or not in triplehead. It might have handled it better since the game does use a higher default FOV than 2142, but it might not.
