Graphics issues.

[SwedishFool]

Hello people.

I just downloaded PR 0.9, installed it, booted it up... all was fine, started up a SP game.
Worked flawless, except for 1 thing. The graphics was set to medium aswell as the resolution was set to 800x600 and I cant change it.

When I attempt to change the graphics or resolution settings, it either crashes or it will crash when I join a game. Does anyone else have this same issue?

*EDIT* simplified: I crash when ever I change settings or try to join any online game. Sp works great.


My system:
9800GTX.
2x2gb DDR2 ram.
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3,4GHz.

all hardware updated to latest version!

-> DO have BF2 1.5 patch installed! <-


I just managed to start PR in windowed, and the error message I recieved from the written above was:

Appearently PR doesnt like me to use the pre-sets. Using the 3 listed resolutions works, but then I will crash if I join an Online game.

your monitor might be incompatible with the resolution at the preset frequency, which you are trying to run

in "My Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\000x" is a file named "Video.con"
it could look something like this:

VideoSettings.setTerrainQuality 2
VideoSettings.setGeometryQuality 2
VideoSettings.setLightingQuality 2
VideoSettings.setDynamicLightingQuality 2
VideoSettings.setDynamicShadowsQuality 2
VideoSettings.setEffectsQuality 2
VideoSettings.setTextureQuality 3
VideoSettings.setTextureFilteringQuality 2
VideoSettings.setResolution 800x600@85Hz
VideoSettings.setAntialiasing Off
VideoSettings.setViewDistanceScale 0.9
VideoSettings.setVideoOptionScheme 1

you should change the red marked frequency to what the monitor supports (consult manual) for example 60Hz is supported by all regular monitors afaik:

VideoSettings.setResolution 800x600@60Hz

note: It appears that Win7 forbids resolutions the monitor would actually be capable of... so maybe windows 7 does not allow that resolution. Check this for a workaround:

Sweet, thanks a lot. Will try that workaround later tonight.



Another problem is that, when I attempt to actually join a game online. The game will crash without leaving me an error message, just as if I would had just pressed Exit, even when in Windowed mode.

The funny thing is that the game DOES work when doing SP, but it just wont work when joining a MP game.
It doesnt crash while loading, it crashes the second I press Deploy.

I belive I see 2 problems, 1 that is resolution related and a second one that could be caused by a bad install?



Oh and also, while in Windowed the resolution of the game shouldent really matter, does it? since the GPU outputs the resolution of the desktop and then adjusts the size of the game in comparison. Am I correct about this?
