Hey all, back from a 1yr+ break and decided to try the new patch but it doesn't start up. When I try to start I just get a black screen and then it crashes.
Tried reinstalling and changing compatibility in fh2.exe etc.
win7 64bit
changes since last time I ran fh2:
Radeon 6970 with 12.4 drivers
8gb ram

Hi mate,
have you tried running BF2 in windowed mode?

Hi mate,
have you tried running BF2 in windowed mode?
Nope, can't find it in settings.

I'm just going to quote Gavrant here:
BF2 often shows description of fatal errors only it's launched in windowed mode. How to run FH in windowed mode: on your desktop right click on the FH2 icon and click "Properties". On the default "Shortcut" tab in the default "Target" field add " +fullscreen 0" text. Click OK button. Then launch FH2, it should show a window with error description when it crashes.

This is what I get: http://i49.tinypic.com/52f5le.jpg (http://i49.tinypic.com/52f5le.jpg) And thats not the resolution I have set in bf2. (BF2 works fine btw)

BF2 uses another profile. Check your video.con file under x:\...\My Documents/Forgottenhp 2/Profiles/Default/video.con and changing your resolution to VideoSettings.setResolution 1920x1200@60Hz.

I get the same error with that resolution set.

Could you try different resolutions?
I've found this online searching for your error:
"Text: Unknown DynamicOption value 1280x960@75Hz"
I had this problem too, only mine complained about 1280x1024@85Hz. In my search of a solution I've seen others with 800x600@60Hz. The problem is that something is telling BF2 to load a resolution that your monitor or video card doesn't support. In my case it was my new widescreen LCD.
That "something" is actually 3 files in the "C:\Documents and Settings\[Your User Name]\My Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles" directory. In that Profiles directory are 3 folders called 0001, 0002, and Default. Inside each of those 3 folders is a file called Video.con. You need to open each of those 3 Video.con files and search for the line that says "VideoSettings.setResolution 1280x960@75Hz". Change all 3 files to a resolution & refresh rate that you know the monitor and video card support, and BF2 should work like a champ again.
Could you check if you have the correct setting in all your video.con files should you have multiple accounts in there?!

Changed the resolution to 1920x1080@60Hz in fh2's video.con in 0001 and Default folder. No support for 1920x1200@60Hz it seems. Works now. Thanks for the help.
