screen resolution changed

[jojo3450]

I haven't played bf2 in a while and I began again yet the screen resolution does not cover the entire screen only a small part is cover the rest of the screen has a black border,how can i fix it?

[Anakin]

is it just the menu?? We already heard about some - including me - who have fullscreen menu. But we don't know why, or how to get it. Furthermore it is not really fullscreen, it is just stretched.

its not in full screen, the opening credits, menu, and the gameplay are all not in full screen it only uses a portion of the screen the rest is in a thick black border line

I have always had this issue, but it seems installing certain games will strangely fix this. I have no idea why.

[Anakin]

the gameplay should be in Fullscreen. did you check the resolution settings??

Try to check Windows resolution settings and pick the largest choicd.

The ingame options do not give me an option to change the resolution, where can I find it?
edit: I found it and changed the reso yet it does not change? I tried lowering it and maxing it yet nothing happens

The game's resolution in the front end is always 800x600 no matter what (unless changed by hex-editing the game's executable). With that said, the resolution you set in the Video Options menu *will* be reflected in-game when a map is loaded, so you have nothing to worry about.
