Try it! It's kinda fun....in a crappy upsetting way.

MSIC, you can always delete your last post in a thread as long as noone posts after you like I did now. If you want to delete your post just press the X to the right of your post. :wink:

Will do, but i thought i'd leave it for other people to see in case they faced a similar problem.

MSIC, I actually thought that could be the reason why it wasn´t removed but I wanted to be sure you knew :wink:

I was just wondering if there's anyone here who is running a res of 1680x1050 or higher with the highest settings and still gets >50 FPS? . . .

I am currently using 1680x1050 with all the in-game settings turned up to maximum. But if I set AA and AT to anything above 2x then I get 30-40 FPS for most of the game. :shock: (That's with the system in my signature.)

I'll be adding a second 7800GTX in SLI but I still don't think I'll be able to run 8xS AA and 16x AT with 1680x1050 and get decent FPS. . . . Is this sort of an unreachable goal? :(

Oh yes, and one more thing . . . has anyone tried this tweak mentioned by Jodiuh . . .

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but this page suggests using +widescreen for proper FOV. Any takers? I can't install BF2 til tomorrow.

If I understand them correctly, they're saying to use

". . . +widescreen . . ." instead of ". . . +fullscreen . . ." and this supposedly fixes the FOV that everyone has been troubled by.

+widescreen doesn't fix the FOV as far as I know ... but why not try it yourself ? ... :? :wink:

I don't have it installed at the moment to try it ... but you have the right idea ...

What I would do to get the comparison screenshots (multiplayer or not) would be to go inside a building and stand tight into a corner of a room then I align my crosshair up on to a distinguishable point in front somewhere ... may be where a vertical and a horizontal cross.

Take a screenshot ...

Then ... this time with the +widescreen ... I'd go to exactly the same room and line up the crosshair with the same point as before.

Compare the screenshots ... 8) ... let us know if things are fixed ... may be even post the screenshots so everyone can see what is going on ... :wink:

Cheers ...

Well, another new patch is out -1.22- and it STILL does not have widescreen. WTF!
:cry: :x

I need help!

I have a Westinghouse 32w1 screen and a evga 7800GT. I did the shortcut mod and this is what my BF2 target reads:

"C:Program FilesEA GAMESBattlefield 2BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 1680 +szy 1050

When i try to start the game, it crashes back to the desktop right after the splash screen. The game is patched with the newest 1.22 patch.
