It's possible that the settings in your BF2 profile don't match. In the video.con file, it defines things like this:

VideoSettings.setResolution 800x600@60Hz

If you rename the Video.con file, BF2 will recreate this automatically, with default settings. You could try to see if that works.


This file is located in My documents/Battlefield 2/Profiles/ (and then 0001 or 0002, etc.)

Please let me know if you get this to work, I'm looking at the BenQ 120Hz monitor myself.

You might need to anually edit two files:
Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\Default\video.con
and
Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\0001\video.con

I's guessing set it to this:
VideoSettings.setResolution 1920x1080@120Hz

I've been meaning to change my config file. I've been typing 'game.lock fps 0' in the in-game console. I'm lazy. :razz:

I must say its nice to enjoy most of the maps at 120 fps. Refractor 2 still looks decent after all this time.

All creatures with eyes have flicker thresholds. most humans are around 72Hz to 75Hz, but well trained eyes, specifically professional hockey goalies and table tennis players, have been known to train themselves to respond to visual stimulus at much much higher levels.

Flicker fusion threshold - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Also been studies where kids with Autism can respond to refresh rates in the 300Hz+ range, so it is humanly possible. And I'll add a good number of those eSport LoL gamers are on the Autism Spectrum.

Also, old CRT displays were supposed to have a sustained minimum 75Hz refresh rate going back to the late 1980's, but the industry never made that standard, and monitors with 70Hz and up were sold as "professioal" series for extra cost.

Video Electronic Standards Association (VESA) had recommended a minimum refresh rate of 75 Hz that minimizes flicker at all brightness levels. Study done in 1991.
