Re: battlefront II resolution won't change

@AeroJett Hello,

First of all, try to run a clean boot on your PC and check if you can change the resolution in the game.

https://help.ea.com/tr/help/faq/how-to-clean-boot-your-pc/

Also, I recommend to disable origin in game overlay in application settings of origin and in Game Properties in your Game Library.

If that doesn't help you, try to change your resolution manually by editing ProfileOptions_profile file in your Documents (My Documents)>>Star Wars Battlefront 2>> Settings folder.

Thanks!

    @AeroJett I'm having the same issue with my bootcamp iMac  (latest AMD drivers from bootcampdrivers.com).  I'm going to try @IIPrest0nII suggestions.

    One workaround is to set your desktop to the resolution you want the game to run in.  SW BF II seems to lock to my desktop resolution.  It's an option of last resort since you will have to do it every time you play or leave your desktop at non-retina resolution.

  • @AeroJett  what  @IIPrest0nII    recommended worked for me after I turned off Origin overlay.  However, my recommended steps would be   ⚽ install newest AMD non-apple drivers at bootcampdrivers.com  🏈  set your desktop resolution to what you want in the game   🏀   run the game and verify it is in the resolution you want.  (4)  follow @IIPrest0nII instructions.  (5) change desktop back to Retina resolution   👿 verify that BF2 launched in the correct res.    (7) don't change resolution in-game once you have working.

    If you hadn't asked the question, I'd still be stuck, so thank you @AeroJett and @IIPrest0nII for your advice!

    I found a different solution that was right in front of my face; just change the resolution scale. I set it to 60% and tweaked the other setting around and it's running pretty well now.

    Also, I'm not sure downloading the non-Apple drivers is the safest option in terms of stability; I'd seen that site mentioned elsewhere and some people had issues with the drivers, so just watch out.

    At any rate, I think this is resolved (and I turned off the overlay since it just makes popup notifications anyways) so thanks for the help. =)
