They limited the res??? Are you sure that's a demo thing, and not true of the whole game? I've never seen a demo with a limited resolution before...........

I dunno if its whole game, but for the demo you can only go to 1280x968, which is lame because i run @ 1280x1024, and am forced to play it at 1024x768 which gives me choppy/blurry gameplay.

Did it do a vid card "check" when you installed it? If it did, and the game decided your card couldn't handle it at high resolution, it'd just remove those options. You oughta be able to override that, though.

Aye...i have installed the recommended drivers that EA provided with the demo...yeah it fixed a few graphics bugs...but i still cant have anything over 1280 * 968..and i know my system can handle it seeing as i run it all high with AA at great FPS.

That depens entirley on your monitor and what you are used to. Yosh has a 17", and from my experience...1024 on a 17" TFT = not nice.

For anyone who does have this demo,i found out that the voip feature does work, press "B", the catch is it only allows you to talk to members in your squad, which makes sense, or the game would but alot of useless chatter

...true, I still have my ol' viewsonic 17" CRT.

If flying the choppers is anything like Joint Operations I'll be a pro.

I've downloaded FOUR different versions of the demo and none of them will let me install this thing! Imagine! thats 2 gigs of time waiting to play this... my problem is this:

When I go to install, it loads up the install wizard and then tells me I need to have administrator rights to run setup! I'm not on a network but I used to be a long time ago with this same hard drive. I run Win98SE can someone help me??? I tried everything I could and I still can't install it... I've never had any problems installing any other software on this computer before... HELP!

Battlefield 2 demo\mods\bf2\Settings\Profiles\Default

Or you can do this

Quote:
Right click the shortcut and locate the "target" field.

In it will be something like this:
"C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2 Demo\BF2.exe"

Add the following to the end of the target:
+menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 1280 +szy 1024

The whole thing should look like this:
"C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2 Demo\BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 1280 +szy 1024

Where 1280 would be your width and 1024 would be your height.

Neither of those seemed to work, oh well on a 19" it doesn't look at all bad at 1200 x 900 or whatever that res is. This game does kick some ass though, especially flying into a teammate and punishing him for it! haha =P

(found that FTR's fix works better) but heres the catch, the video resolution you added to the target, will NOT show up in video options, infact it will automaticly run at the resolution you chose. So the only way to really tell is the improvement on the actually clarity of text and ingame play.


(worked for me btw) and i noticed a HUGE performance increase after playing at my native reso.
