I just bought a wide screen monitor and now I am having trouble with the game. I should have no problem with the pixels I got a 512 pciE running. But know every time I try to run the game. It doesnt even get past the EA logo. Can some help me please. I dont know what Im doing wrong.

romove you bf2 folder from the my documents folder and start the game again. that is what i had to do with mine. the display setting you had previously may not be compatible with your new monitor.

Go into your My Docs folder. And delete the littel folder in there called Battlefield 2. The reason being is because your settings are kept there and since your settings arent compatible with your new stuff you just delete this and get fresh ones the next time you launch BF2.

What your saying is To erase my bf2 folder your crazy. How about the instead is there a settings folder I can change the resolution of the game without the game actually starting. This sucks sitting on a new mon. and not being able to use for anything but forum posts and web surfing. I need to KILL DAMNIT.

I had a similiar prob. The refresh rate is wrong. Set it to 1600x 1200 @ 60hz. You can send me a pm if you still have probs.

Have you tried http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1030 ???

That worked for me (have an Dell 2407wfp)

Have you tried deleting the video file in your profiles (My Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles) ???

And since that Battlefield dosent suport widescreen you have too edit your target line in your battlefield shortcut too somthing like (C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" +menu 1 +widescreen 1 +szx 1920 +szy 1200)

I did find out that instead of erasing the bf2 folder open up the 001 folder and change 60hz to 61hz it will work. But thanks for all the help I got it and I wouldnt have even came close if it wasnt for you guys. So thanks we should go play now. Its like your my new family.........
