Demo problem!

Explo · 2015-01-26, 17:17

Hi!

I'm experiencing a weird thing/bug when I view demos in fullscreen 1920x1080 resolution then the ingame picture becomes streched. (not just the usual HUD thing)
I tried watching the demo windowed mode 1680x1050 and it seems fine that way.

When I'm playing the game it's fine tho, no problem. I'ts just happening with the demos, but it's really annoying since I'm trying to make propaganda pic's from demos for the PRT.

I upgraded from a 1680x1050 monitor to an HD a few months ago, and Demos were fine with the older monitor.

Any fix for this issue? Maybe reinstalling, since the game's demo viewer somehow booked that I have an 1680x1050 ???

You can probably set it to the correct resolution in the video.con file?

It's correct on all profiles. And as I said only the demos have this problem not when im like playing on a server.

Sorry this is just a vBF2 bug which we can't solve. Unfortunately when EA/DICE updated BF2 to have true wide-screen, they forgot to also update the BattleRec to have it too...

Okay, thank you!
Well then, I'll use the workaround method with windowed mode. Would have been nice though with HD material.
