I've got dual 20" widescreen Dell LCD's, very nice setup. I run at 1680x1050 resolution

Dual??!?!?! woowzers how does that work in BF2?

The thing that irks me is my monitor native is 1280x768 which is 1080i HDTV but BF2 doesn't support it. When I force BF2 to display it it looks like crap.

It plays on my left monitor and on the right monitor I have open 3 things: Teamspeak, task manager, and the windows clock....gotta have the clock so I know when to call it quits

It's pretty cool, I can watch RAM usage while in game. I've seen it go as high as 1250MB one time.

Now that's sick... I love it

Modify your shortcut that starts the game to look like this:

"C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 1280 +szy 1024

Make sure the path is correct, I don't know if you have yours on the C drive. This will override whatever resolution is in game and you'll be running native to your monitor

TheMuncher · 09-10-2005, 03:21 PM

I had that done, but I had to reinstall, and since I launch the game from either the quick launch or from XFire, so I wasn't sure if it still would work. I'll go back and do it again.

Also you should be able to get 2x AA with that rig. AA make a huge difference

Miss marked the EAX it is on and ultra high. You are right went to 2x on AA and does make a huge differance. Thanks.

Here is a screenshot of how my settings look in game, it's rather large (1MB) because I tried to preserve detail:

And Trigger, here's a screenshot of my full setup while in game. This is exactly what I see (quality is scaled down to cut down size) while playing, except it's 2 LCD's side by side. You can't see the borders of the LCD's

Monitors run edge to edge of this small table, take a look

Diceman · 09-10-2005, 06:51 PM

I don't even want to think about what you guys must drop on hardware to maintain those specs...good gravy!

I'm running a plain jane system, next to those mothers:

Athlon XP 3000+
SB Live! Value
nVidia GeForce 6800, 128MB
768 MB RAM
60GB HDD (C: ) + 120 GB HDD (D: )
WinXP Pro

So, like those with the mid-to-lower range systems, I have had issues of stuttering and the like also. What I do now is, before launching BF2, I kill all the processes in the system tray, or running under Task Manager (User tasks only). I find this dramatically improves performance, especially if your system is already being maxed out on the game without the extra overhead.

Dice.
