Changing Battlefield 1942 Display Resolution


Recommended Posts

After installing the 1.6 patch last night the resolution changed to 800x600. Now I'm screwed because no matter what I try I can't get the resolution change back to the 1152x864 that I had before. I've tried all of the config files I can find. I tried the console command. I tried reinstalling my video card drivers. I tried reinstalling the game. I reinstalled old video card drivers. I still can't get the damn resolution to change. Tech support must be closed on the weekend because I have not received a response from them yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

On another note, I'm really looking forward to playing Caen. Someone finally put Canadians in a video game and I can't play them in their full glory. Hopefully they add a couple more maps with Canadian forces on them.

Um.. if this uses the Q3 Engine then look for the cfg file

and change seta_displayhight "1152"

and change seta_displaywidth "864"

Actually you inspired me. I thought to myself "Did I get every file?" I then searched for every video*.con file in the directory and found extra ones I hadn't seen. It looks like it is fine now though I think. The text still looks a little funny but nothing wrong. Maybe I was using a smaller resolution before.

I'm going to try additional settings.

edit: Indeed it does work now. Damn hidden config files. Thanks for your help guys.
