Widescreen Resolution.

**Allane** · 07-14-08, 08:02 PM

Before anyone asks me, yes, I did use the search feature. And yes, I am using both the in-game support for it, and forced resolution 1680x1050.

So as I hear that the 1.5 patch added widescreen resolution support to the game. But at 1400x1050 (and even 1680x1050) when you look down the rocket launcher sights, you get strange cutting around the edges. It just looks like the normal sights, centered, then a black block around it, then you can see around your peripherals.

#1: this is technically considered cheating, as you can see more than a 4:3 while looking down the sights.

#2: didn't EA fix this with patch 1.5?

#3: Is there a way to fix this problem, or is this just what we'll have to deal with?

I'm a little confuse by your description unless someone can help me out here. Got a screenshot?

I am running at 1680x1050 and I never noticed this problem but maybe I just missed it.
When they released 1.5 they did add this caveat

Widescreen mode is currently a beta feature and has some minor graphical issues regarding the weapons in game, however these do not affect gameplay

Maybe this is what you are seeing.

I've noticed a few graphical glitches when it comes to the weapon sights (running at forced 1440x900 here), but since EA is now officially condoning the use of widescreen, I don't see a problem with it.

Right click the Link for BF2142 that you use and chose "Properties". In the "Target" after "+fullscreen 1" add "+widescreen 1"
Click "Apply" then "OK".

When you start the game look for these resolutions, 1280X800 - 1440X900- 1680X1050 these are widescreen resolutions. If they appear then select one of them and load it.

If anyone has luck getting 16:9 Aspect ratios, please share.
