[HELP] New Monitor Problems

[B.Olson[2DMAR]]

I found a nice 26'' flatscreen TV with a VGA connection in a relatives house, they said they weren't using it so I jumped at the chance.

I'm not sure on the brand but the logo on the front is a W. The problem is that when I try to launch PR, or any BF2 variant, the splash screen appears, the screen flashes a couple of times, tries to auto-adjust and then the game crashes to desktop. I can't seem to find any good fixes.

Does anyone have a similar problem? Will I have to reinstall BF2 every time I change my monitor???

Well it worked before right?

And i'm not to sure on the maker... I don't think its the problem....but could you try and see if you can tell us who made it.

And...try some other games and even try BF2...tell us if they work.

[B.Olson[2DMAR]]

trying to figure out the maker. BF2 won't launch either. Thanks for the help! I'll get back to you on the maker.

[B.Olson[2DMAR]]

go down to command line

Go to My Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles and find the Video.con that belongs to the profile you're using, then enter a resolution your monitor supports.

[splatters]

Also check that your refresh rate is not higher than the monitors (often 60 Hz)

My Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles Video.con VideoSettings.setResolution 1920x1080@60Hz

make sure your screen is running at 60 htrz not 70 or 80, use your gfx card settings to force change it if possible.

Isnt 1360X768 a resolution you can natively choose in BF2 through the options menu?

Still doesn't help if BF2 tries to launch with a resolution the monitor can't support.

plug in the old monitor, change resolution, then use the new 1 tadaaa

I don't know how to fix this but 1360x768 is a pretty low resolution for a 26" screen tbh. I got a 24" wide-screen resolution 1920x1080 are you sure it's the correct resolution? I think modern 26" LCD screens should have a resolution of 1920x1200.

In the propierties of pr shortcut add this:
"D:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\pr.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 "+szx 1280 +szy 1024

Change underlined values for your windows resolution.
