- A real widescreen fix for BF2 (bricks were shat)
i guess heres a pic of it
i have been playing for about 1 yr on this one. i have noticed that it takes a lot to kill someone on foot most the time. i figured it was either lag, my pc being slow or ea

I've been using this for a couple of weeks. Works just like the pictures show. Personally I don't see where it really helps you. You do see more of the periphery as shown in the screen shots.
I'm not really sure if you need it or not with your particular widescreen, but you can find out in game. Does the text look a little bit wider than usual, like its stretched? For that matter, does everything, including player models seem a little distorted and stretched horizontally both in game and in menus? It looks pretty crappy. Enough so that for a year I have played BF2 uniquely on my smaller crappier normal aspect ratio monitor.
If this is the case for you, then this utility will display the game on your monitor at the correct scale. This means that rather than just having the non-widescreen picture stretched across your widescreen's extra pixels, you actually get a larger perspective with a few hundred pixels worth of additional peripheral vision. Click Sarge's link and follow the steps in the readme.

looks a bit unfair if you just have your 5:4 screen

Its good for chopper but sucks for inf.Lucien wrote:
Widescreen monitors are "the shit" thesedays, but unfortunately BF2 doesn't support them very well. Those of us who have one know: After getting BF2 to run with a custom resolution, instead of being able to see more with our wider monitors, the top and bottom ends merely got cut off. This is most annoying as it really can look like shit at times, especially in 3rd person views with vehicles.
However, behold: a real widescreen fix has been made. I had absolutely no idea this existed until I tried to find out how to get Prince of Persia to run in widescreen, so it's no miracle nobody knows about it.
The Widescreen Fixer is available here. What exactly does it do? It gives us back the top and bottom parts of our view, and adds more to the right and left sides as you would expect from running a game in widescreen. It works perfectly and is approved by PB.
If you want to see the difference this program makes, click on the aforementioned link and see for yourself.
P.S: protips: read the readme. You need to add the +widescreen 1 to your BF2 shortcut's command line, and you need to press ; ingame to get it to work.
A bit? Just emagine 360 vision then noone will be able to sneak up on anyone using thisr00ts wrote:

Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me
I don't even have a widescreen monitor and may use that it seems that you can see more with the fix.
do you need a widescreen monitor? or can you do it anyway?
i think its fine, everything looks really nice. i just get some delay every now an then.Marinejuana wrote:

Lulz. It's called Widescreen fixer.c4_he_was_famous wrote:

Heh, I know the guy that made this
Thx! Great Tool! I hated that half of the screen was cut off!
How about the ingame Video setting? I heard somebody could select 1400x1050 max when in fact he needs 1680x1050..Lucien wrote:

This should be stickied.
It works great for me thanks
Recently got a widescreen monitor and this program is brilliant .
qft although I think it should be in the tech section seeing as it now supports more than just Battlefield 2GGF0RCE wrote:

I had this before but when you zoom out from sniping, the game revert back to "normal" mode then; the "widescreen support" kicks in giving you a slight delay. Just a heads up if anyone noticed it.
cool beans
