go to my documents\Battlefield 2\profiles and edit the video.con of your profile as well as the default one so they both have a resolution of 800x600@75Hz

Take out the "+ widescreen 1" It doesn't do anything.

Did you edit your video settings when you had the wide screen extension in the .exe? I've heard that'll screw BF2 up.

hello man... thank you for your help...

i went to that folder "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Documenti\Battlefield 2\Profiles\Default"   and I edited so :


VideoSettings.setTerrainQuality 3
VideoSettings.setGeometryQuality 3
VideoSettings.setLightingQuality 3
VideoSettings.setDynamicLightingQuality 3
VideoSettings.setDynamicShadowsQuality 3
VideoSettings.setEffectsQuality 3
VideoSettings.setTextureQuality 3
VideoSettings.setTextureFilteringQuality 3
VideoSettings.setResolution 1680x1050@60Hz
VideoSettings.setAntialiasing 2
VideoSettings.setViewDistanceScale 1
VideoSettings.setVideoOptionScheme 2


my video resulution i think that it is  1680x1050@60mhz, not 75mhz

i am sorry i didnt understand what you mean very well...  could you repeat it with other words ?

thanks you again to all men....


PS: the most strange thing for me, it is that I can enter in the menu... i can enter in offline mode and play inside there... but if i try to click on every multiplayer server, i have always a crash .... bf2 crashs and i come back to desktop

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Try the standard BF2/2142 story; Repatch, if that doesn't work, reinstall.

Also update your drivers.

i am going to reinstall all....    bf2-->armored fury-->euroforces-->special forces-->patch 1.41

i already updated my video drivers and I also repatched. i continue to feel totally confused if i think that if i play offline it works normally, but if i try to click on multiplayer server, it crashs....  :S

the monitor is fantastic in my opinion... but this game has some big problem with widescreens monitors i think...  please, let me to know your config, like the vga, cpu, hd, ram and so on.... and above all, let me updated when you will try to play... thanks!

i've got the monitor plugged in on DVI--that may be the difference.
what's your ingame setup? i didn't change anything in the files, only in the actual game, and it runs fine.

secondly, are you sure it's a monitor problem?

ya i do. thing is, there aren't any higher resolutions supported. and besides, i hate having a tiny mini-map, so i don't go to max.

By running  it in Windows XP mode, and as Administrator.

Have you tried googling the problem at all?

ok, i'll try analog now...no problem. i'll be back in a few minutes. in the ingame, all i changed was the resolution, so that it was 16:9 instead of 4:3.

check your drivers, if they are not updated for your monitor then you'll have trouble. What I do not get is why it would run single player and not multi-player. that's bizarre.
