crash on startup: renddx9 debug assertion at line 234

[Frotz]

Hi guys, FH2 won't with the desktop shortcut anymore, however starting the vanilla game and switching works, but it's a pain in the ass. The reason this is happening is that I bought a new monitor and i try to run the game in 1920x1080, and it doesn't work when setting down the resolution to something like 800x600 @ 60hz either now.

The error I get is debug assertion failed at line 234 in renddx9.dll.

- Replaced vanillas shaders_client with the one from FH2. (This made FH2 work when switching in vanilla)
- Removed the caches and video.con files from the profiles.
- Reinstalled/updated/downgraded my graphics drivers, directx etc.
- Edited the resolution in the video.con files.

I run win7 x64 and I got bf2 on steam, I might reinstall the retail box version instead, but I have no high hopes (the steam version has worked wonderfully with fh2 since 2.26 and pretty well earlier).

Any ideas?

Set your resolution in the .con files in the Forgottenhp 2 folder. It is in your My Documents folder.

Doesn't work, forgot to write that I had tried that.

It should work to edit the command line in the shortcut to set the resolution. Though, since BF2 1.5 patch the support for WS is native.
Like, "C:\Games\Battlefield 2\FH2.exe +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 1920 +szy 1080"

Sorry, that didn't work either...

FH2 hates my screen, at least I have an annoying work around.

Finally fixed it.

Apparently my video.con files in the forgottenhp 2 folder were all set to read-only, yet win7 didn't complain when trying to change them...
