Re: BattleField 1942 resolution

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).
