New monitpr and game crashes now

[jackcr]

I just purchased a new monitor and the game now crashes. I press on the short cut and the game starts for about 2 seconds and right where the PR logo fly's in it crashes to desktop and i see nothing of the game. I have tried to take my computer back to a time where I know it was all good, I use a backup program called acronis, but still the game crashes. This new monitor has a Resolution of 1920 x 1080 where as the other monitor was 1900 x 1200 The new monitor is also equipped to play 3d. Do you think it's the monitor that isn't compatible with this game or what? Monitor is an Asus and if it is a comparability issue then i fear this game will lose alot of people as this is a very popular monitor among the gaming community.

OF COURSE all monitors are compatible. You just have to go to the directory (user/xxx/documents/bf2) and check the resolution and refreasherate in the Video.con files in the profiles- direcories (0001,0002,...).

Good luck!

It might be refresh rate and rsolution...go to "C:\Users\XXX\Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\NNNN\ and look for a file Video.con

It should look like this

Code: Select all

VideoSettings.setTerrainQuality 3
VideoSettings.setGeometryQuality 3
VideoSettings.setLightingQuality 2
VideoSettings.setDynamicLightingQuality 2
VideoSettings.setDynamicShadowsQuality 2
VideoSettings.setEffectsQuality 3
VideoSettings.setTextureQuality 3
VideoSettings.setTextureFilteringQuality 3
VideoSettings.setResolution 1440x900@60Hz
VideoSettings.setAntialiasing 4Samples
VideoSettings.setViewDistanceScale 1
VideoSettings.setVideoOptionScheme 3

Change the line "VideoSettings.setResolution" to 800x600@60Hz so it looks lik this

Code: Select all

VideoSettings.setTerrainQuality 3
VideoSettings.setGeometryQuality 3
VideoSettings.setLightingQuality 2
VideoSettings.setDynamicLightingQuality 2
VideoSettings.setDynamicShadowsQuality 2
VideoSettings.setEffectsQuality 3
VideoSettings.setTextureQuality 3
VideoSettings.setTextureFilteringQuality 3
VideoSettings.setResolution 800x600@60Hz
VideoSettings.setAntialiasing 4Samples
VideoSettings.setViewDistanceScale 1
VideoSettings.setVideoOptionScheme 3

If that wont work see whats the refresh rate of your new monitor and set @ NNHz accordingly.
