My monitor is 1680x1050, yet 2142 will only allow up to 1280x960.

Anyone know why?

I'd guess that it doesn't support resolutions as high as your monitor can manage.

Actually, the first time I installed the patch (incremental) it allowed for 1680x1050 but kept on crashing. I associated this to the incremental patch, so I reinstalled the game with the full patch. Now it only shows me 1680x1050.

Change it on you shortcut icon. Some thing like

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Battlefield 2142\BF2142.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +widescrren 1 +sxz 1680 +sxy 1050

I do that for 1440 x 900 but I thought the patch added widescreen support to 2142.

The 1.50 patch, released yesterday for Battlefield 2142, added the much requested widescreen support, although to get it working you have add some commands to your shortcut.

    While Battlefield 2142 Update 1.50 adds widescreen functionality, it is not available by default. Widescreen mode is currently a beta feature and has some minor graphical issues regarding the weapons in game, however these do not affect gameplay. If you would like to activate Widescreen functionality please use the following steps:

    1. Locate your Battlefield 2142 shortcut
    2. Right-Click and select Properties
    3. At the end of the Target line you should see +fullscreen 1
    4. After this add +widescreen 1
    5. You will now have widescreen resolutions available in Video options in the front end

    Note: By doing this you accept that there will be some minor graphical issues in your game and these should not be raised as an issue.
