Global Conflict

So i bought new graphics card and new monitor. VGA is Zotac 8800GTS 512MB and monitor is samsung 226BW. The problem is that BF2 crashes to the desktop seconds after i start it... DiRT and Guild Wars run normally without any problem... how do i stop these crashes?

still doesn't work... i guess ill have to reinstall it...

This might help too, widescreen fix

Try this first-delete BF2 folder in My documents.

nope, just delete the cache folder there

first set the nvidia graphic card driver to the right resolution (1680x1050 75Hz), then change desktop bf2 start link to -> "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" +fullscreen 0 +szx 800 +szy 600 <- this will open BF2 in windowed mode 800X600 - you should be able to go into options menu and set it to another resolution i.e. 1280x1024 75 Hz.

then you can fix the start link to "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 1680 +szy 1050

for AIX "C:\Programme\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" +modPath mods/aix +fullscreen 1 +szx 1680 +szy 1050

[if the resolution (Hz) is too high it will normally switch to default 60Hz which will stay in windows after that too, so you have to set it in Nvidia panel right.]

i cant set any higher refresh rate than 60Hz and native resolution of 226BW is 1680x1050... i dont know if BF2 is working in this resolution or some other (i have added " +widescreen +szx 1680 +szy 1050" (without quotation marks)

it has to be +fullscreen 1 +szx 1680 +szy 1050 (not widescreen)

http://www.widescreengaming.net/wiki/Battlefield_2 here they say i should put +widescreen 1

EDIT: wuznt there some widescreen fix that fixed FOV, so you could see more to the left and right??

+fullscreen and +widescreen should be the same and do the same

+fullscreen when not using the widescreenfixer (not fixing FOV)
(+fullscreen +szx WS +szy WS is stretching 4:3 a bit but cropping the vertical- also HUD isn't circle anymore)

+widescreen when using the widescreenfixer (fixing FOV) only:

dl link in above posting....

i dont know how to use that fixer... it says that i need to press ";" and i press it but nothing happens... and what for is that "update rate" slider?

After you started and ended the Fixer you'll find a wsf.ini file in it's folder.

The ";" key is for english language version of XP, it's "ü" key for german version, in wsf.ini it should be an entry Hotkey=186 (interger)

I don't know what language Version of XP you use.

The update is for updating in milliseconds, set it to a low rate for BF.

And RTFRM please

um.... i dont know which button is ; on my keyboard cuz i have blakan version... do u know maybe if i can find somewhere these codes for specific buttons??

how low? 250? or lower?

um... and i have read the manual but i still dont know what that update slide bar does... :\

do you have Keyboard with cyrillic? You might do a search for on google.

update should be less than 250, BF fixing needs to update more often - try 150

srry, can't help you further with that yet - have to go to work

cya on battlefield later!

found on wikipedia which button it is... (keyboard isnt on cyrilic)
