Widescreen in BF2?

AFK_Matrix · 2 Apr 2006 at 18:46

Hi,

Just got my 2405 and loving it

. Now I have managed to get bf2 to look good in 1920x1200 and have the bling mostly set at medium with a few high ones and am getting 60-70fps which is great. Now the only thing that looks crap is the actual righting and the screen you choose your spawn place and guns??

Is there away to correct this? I have applied the aspect ratio fix so me map isn't oval now and put the thing in the target of the icon on my desktop. As i say the actual game looks lovely just the text is crap, ie to big and like its at 800x600?

Is there something that i can do with it?

I couldnt get mine working in widescreen.. And whats this aspect fix? Do i need some file changing and got a link as id like to play it in WS.

Sure I am pretty sure it fixed it or at least i don't mind it know apart from it still looks like its at 800x600 size. Here is what someone else said in another thread:

to do that open the following file
whatever:\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\SettingszVideoDefault.con

and change the following line

renderer.fieldOfView 1

for 16:9 aspect change that 1 to 1.3 and for 16:10 aspect use 1.2

Actually looking at it not sure if it has solved the problem but i think i am used to it now. Give it a go though.

widescreen support was asked about in an interview I read on TBF2 and they seemed to think it's not a priority

I get widescreen by using the following link;

""C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 1680 +szy 1050"

change the 1680 & 1050 to whatever your monitors native resolution is - its not perfect though, misses a bit at top/bottom but you get used to it. I also went to change the field of view as someone mentioned above but mine was already set to "1" anyway?

I set my aspect ratio number to 1.2 so it does 16:10.

Also how do I get widescreen in the Special Forces addon I have? Do i just change the desktops target the same way i change the BF2 desktop icons target?

Thanks.

yeah just change it the same way as above to get it to do native res
