Screen Resolution Problem. Please Help!
« on: 24-11-2011, 21:11:55 »
Hello, I just downloaded FH2 and installed it today. Played around in single player for a bit in the default 800X600 resolution setting. Then I decided to up the resolution and set it to 1240Xsomething. I forgot. Anyways, now whenever I start FH2, my screen (CHIMEI CMV946A) gives me a "Out Of Range" error message with a black screen as the background. I hear the game menu music but no screen.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, editing the video.con file under the BF2/Profiles folder and still I get the black screen with the "Out Of Range" message.

Now I really need to know how to change the resolution outside of the game so I can lower the resolution.

Thanks!

It seems that the monitor does not support your selected resolution. If it is a 19'' widescreen, you should use its native resolution of 1440 x 900.

You can change the resolution by editing the path in your FH2 shortcut, like this:
Quote
"C:\Games\Battlefield 2\forgottenhope2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 1440 +szy 900

Yeah, I edited it exactly like how you wrote above and it still doesn't work. I even tried editing it back to 800X600 and still no screen, just sound. I edited the target path, thats right yea?

I got it working by changing the parameters in the user files. Thanks a lot! :)
