I am running at 1680x1050 as well by using the command line, but we need a FOV fix.

ok the command line fix does work, but the FOV is screwed. what should it be set to? 1.1? does the thing above about changing the FOV work? this game is awesome.

Hi, it has probably been posted in these forums many times but once and for all I will clear up how to get battlefield 2 running in widescreen. I am using a 2005fpw with a radeon x800 xl.

The following line is what I use in the bf2 link on my desktop:

"D:GamesBattlefield 2 DemoBF2.exe" +menu 1 +widescreen 1 +szx 1680 +szy 1050


If you copy this bit:
+menu 1 +widescreen 1 +szx 1680 +szy 1050

and paste it over top of what is currently after the path on YOUR link, that should make the game run in widescreen. But then like everyone has pointed out, the fov is all screwed up, so......


navigate to your [Battlefield 2 Demomodsbf2Settings] folder and open up the file VideoDefault.con in notepad, and change the line that says:

renderer.fieldOfView 1

to

renderer.fieldOfView 1.1

and save and exit notepad, you should be all sorted with no fov issues!

If you try and run the game and you just get kicked back to the desktop, try reinstalling the game and then follow the steps I wrote above.

Doing this won't have any conflicts with punkbuster when you go to play online so it's all good.

What an excellent game, sad theres no proper widescreen (yet?)

Thanks for info about command line params.

I havent had a chance to play with fov but from what i hear from you all it sounds like they crop...

Heres what im (currently) doing as trade off... my monitor max res is 1920x1200... the 4:3 resolution would be 1600x1200 so i run 1760x1200 (exactly half the difference).. i added that resolution to nvidia custom resolutions and set scaling to fixed aspect ratio. I know this still sucks but its much less distracting than a 4:3 res or fully stretched image and is another option to add to arsenal of games that stretch.

If im wrong about the fov crop, let me know.. i hope a future patch fixes all this. In the meantime its still excellent game and its so real i usually forget about resolution issues (stretch not too noticably bad)
