  • You should be able to run at that res. But you will need to edit the video.con files manually to set the res.

    First go to:
    C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942\Mods\bf1942\  or C:\program files
    Settings\videodefault.con


    Change the line:
    renderer.allowAllRefreshRates 0

    To this:
    renderer.allowAllRefreshRates 1

    Then go to:
    C:\Program Files\origin GAMES\Battlefield 1942\Mods\bf1942\Settings  (might be slightly different depending on where you installed bf)

    Edit the following files:
    video.con
    videocustom.con

    every time you see:
    game.setDisplayMode 1024 768 32 60

    edit it to whatever you like in this format:
    game.setDisplayMode x=res, y=res, colordepth, refreshrate

    e.g. game.setDisplayMode 1280 1024 32 60

    Then set both files to read-only,
    (if you don't want the settings getting changed).
